Great Tour Company. Even greater Tour Guide

Our trip was a once in a lifetime experience. This experience was only enhanced by our guide Hien. He took care of our groups needs and became part of the family. Part Historian, Comedian, and grand Host. Hien does it all. If you’re looking to take a trip to Vietnam. I strongly recommend this company and Hien specifically. 9.5/10

Day in the Mekong

We only had 48 hours in HCM so booked a private day tour for 2 of us to get the most from the time. Not the cheapest way to see the Mekong, but good value for a private tour Tam was very friendly and chatty and gave us a great tour, starting early in morning and getting us back to HCM by 5PM. Highlight was the scooter rides around the rice fields and village, plus sampling various home made rice wines at a local house. They have some interesting ways to add flavor! If we're lucky enough to go back to HCM again I'd book with Real Mekong Delta again, but hopefully a 2 or 3 day trip next time as there's so much more that could be seen.

Great tours with "Harry" (Nguyễn Huỳnh Anh Khoa)

We did the Cu chi tunnel tour and the full day Mekong Delta tour from Ho chi Minh City including the river cruise. We had Harry as our guide and he was just fantastic! He was extremely knowledgable about Vietnamese culture and history. He always willing and happy to answer all our questions and even filled in with information about Vietnam that we had not thought about. His english was outstanding and his open attitude was a pleasure to be around. We learned a lot over the two days we toured with Harry, and the whole family (mon, dad and three teenagers) had a great time, and shared many laughs with Harry. We highly recommend a tour with VietCruise, and definitely ask for Harry!!!

Excellent Tour!

We did a 2 day 1 night tour from Ho Chi Minh City to Can Tho. The company was super flexible and arranged the tour to our needs (the tour ended at Can Tho airport for example, since we flew onwards from there). Our guide Than was super friendly and explained a lot about the Mekong Delta. We had a faboulous time, thank you!

Vietcruise tours - fantastic job Ken!

Joined their one day Mekong delta - my tho tour with Vietcruise on nov 9, 2018. Very satisfied. Our guide Ken was extremely attentive, knowledgeable and professional. Our group was small. We were picked up by a van around 8 am. After 1.5 hrs drive, we arrived at the pagoda with different buddha’s. Then a private boat to three islands (unicorn, etc) for various cultural excursions: honey making, picture with a python, coconut candy making, tasting of snake wine, listening to live folk music while enjoying local seasonal fruit, then over 1 km sampan ride along Makong, finished with a reasonable lunch. We had great fun. We can’t thank Ken enough. He is genuine. He is awesome. Highly recommended.

A REAL tour! Hien is a fabulous tour guide! Avoid the tourist traps with Hien!!

Hien really seems to enjoy his tours, and knows how to avoid the tourist jams! We loved the scooter ride through the countryside, even stopping in his own home for fruit! We also enjoyed boating through the Mekong Delta and a lovely delicious lunch right on the water! Thank you Hien for sure a memorable time!

Great tour with Hien,no tourist traps.

We had a wonderful day out with Hein. Very knowledgeable and informative about the area with a great sense of humor about some of the things we seen on the trip.If you want to experience the real Mekong delta away from the crowded tourist areas then this trip is a must do.The ride on the back of the scooter through the countryside and rice fields was amazing.The lunch we had at the foot of the delta was great freshly caught clams and shrimp brought straight to your plate.
