Our guide Thant was very informative and we could not have asked for anyone better.
Thao and the driver were very good, the information and knowledge was great. Really enjoyed trying the different fruits and the short ride via the canal. Would highly recommend
We went as a small group in airconditioned bus to the Meking Delta. Our tour guide,.Tan, was knowledgeable and interesting and also very entertaining. The tour packs a lot in and we had boat rides, visited local farms and small businesses. We had a gorgeous lunch filled with local fish, meats, fruit and much more. Everything ran like clockwork. We left our pickup point at 8am and returned to our hotel at 4pm. I would highly recommend this activity.
Had a fantastic day with Thanh. Had been really looking forward to this trip and did not disappoint. Thanh was very knowledgeable and happy to answer any questions we asked. We had a tasting at the coconut stop and also tasted local fruits from the garden we visited. We had a fantastic lunch so much couldn’t eat it all! Then we set off down the Mekong river in boats. It was a great trip and Thanh was excellent.
We had Thanh as our tour guide we was very friendly and helpful and knew a lot about the tour. His English was also very good and clear meaning he was easy to understand when going around.
The trip was really fantastic, small group and very knowledgeable guide. Our guide was called Thanh and he was fantastic- he didn’t miss on any details and he made sure we came away knowing as much as we could. Thank you so much, we couldn’t recommend it enough! And thank you so much Thanh!
We had an amazing trip to the Mekong Delta. Our guide, Thanh was really knowledgeable and helpful. He highlighted the unique fruit growing in the delta, demonstrated the candy production process and how King Cobra wine was made. He aided us all, my husband and I plus 5 ladies from Australia & New Zealand on and off the boats. I really enjoyed the drive to our restaurant and the sampan boat trip after lunch. Would definitely recommend this trip.
We had the most amazing trip with Thanh as our guide. Pick up was easy, and each component of the tour fitted seamlessly into the day. Thanh was very knowledgeable about any questions and was super friendly. This trip is perfect for anyone- it appealed to both myself and my dad, we found ourselves deeply immersed in all the culture of Vietnam. Our group was small, of 3 of us but this allowed us to easily ask any questions. Would definitely recommend this tour to anyone- it ticks every box!!
Nina was our guide today. She helped me a lot on the tour. She assisted on a tuk take when I did not like to go on the sampan. Thank you Nina and Intrepid.
Had a fantastic time on the Mekong Delta tour with Nina. She was professional, knowledgeable, and incredibly friendly throughout the day. I especially enjoyed learning about Vietnam’s history, local culture, and produce, as well as meeting locals along the way. Nina’s insights and enthusiasm made the experience both fun and informative. Highly recommend this tour, and a big thank you to Nina for making it so memorable!
