Wonderful Day Exploring the Mekong Delta with Bao
Wonderful full-day tour of the Mekong Delta with our guide, Bao. We had a fantastic experience exploring the Mekong Delta, and our guide Bao made the whole day feel smooth, interesting and personal. From the moment we were picked up, he was friendly, organised and shared so much insight into the local culture and way of life. The journey along the Express Trung Luong Highway was comfortable, and once we arrived, Bao guided us around the different islands of the Mekong — Dragon, Unicorn, Phoenix and Tortoise. We learned a lot about the area and its traditions, and Bao made everything easy to follow and enjoyable. The boat rides were a real highlight, especially the small rowing boat trip through the narrow coconut-lined canals. It was peaceful, scenic and exactly the kind of experience you imagine when visiting the Mekong Delta. Bao kept everything well-paced, answered all our questions and made sure we saw the best parts without ever feeling rushed. A great full-day trip and a brilliant way to experience the traditional rural lifestyle of the Mekong Delta. Highly recommend — especially with Bao as your guide.

The spirit of Vietnam - Mekong Day Trip
We had a wonderful day with our guide Typhoon honey. He made us feel very welcome and entertained us with his humour. We chose a private tour, the transport was 5 star! Very comfortable and relaxed pace. Each activity we learned new things and tried and tasted the coconut candy, honey and healthy lunch. I recommend taking the tour and asking for our guide.
