Amazing day trip to the Mekong River

We had the most interesting and formative tour to the Mekong river delta durint our business trip in Ho Chi Minh City. Our tour guide, Lana was excellent. She shared with us a lot of information about the history of Vietnam, the southern region and the day to day life in this beautiful country. We have learnt how local produce such as coconut candy, rice paper, rice wine and rice pops are made. We visited a beautifully tranquil garden, went shopping for lunch ingredients to a river side market and we participated in the preparation of our own lunch :) In the afternoon we had a short cycling trip followed by traditional music and singing performances. We are so glad to have taken this tour and we would like to thank Lana and her team for taking excellent care of and for answering all of our questions during the trip. Highly recommended tour and guide!

Amazing experience on the Mekong Delta

Had a fantastic tour led by champion tour guide 'Typhoon Honey' the name says it all. We had a blast with him touring the delta by bus, boat and bike with some truly authentic adventures exploring the islands and enjoying the local cuisine. A must do when visiting Vietnam and if you can ask for Typhoon Honey!
