Traveler reviews
Overall, there was too much travel time, 7-9 hours - it could be organized more effectively.
Day 1 was about 4 hours of travel, but with several stops - everything was created for tourists - by 3 PM, we were at the hotel and could plan the evening freely - the next morning, we did not leave for the market early but only at 7:30 AM - this way, the tour guide could sleep longer. - therefore, much had already been dismantled and was over - super unfortunate - normally, it should be market first and then breakfast at the hotel - not the other way around - then we traveled many hours back with a terrible lunch - the tour guide just went through the program - not a single word outside - without love and with no enthusiasm - we returned to the starting point around 3 PM - about 400-500 km in total - touristy. Trip - we would not book again.
2 days of fun
The tour was full of events. The drive was comfortable. Phuc was a great tour guide. The wife and I enjoyed our time.
Nice tour, can be recommended with a clear conscience.
The communication beforehand was excellent. The pickup was super punctual. The minibus/interior was in impeccable condition. The tour was perfectly organized. Our tour guide Bo Hang was very nice and could share a lot about the area. All in all, a successful two days.
Spectacular.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We did the excursion with Vietnam Adventure Tours, and it was a very complete and well-organized experience. Everything went as planned, and we were able to see incredible places. The best part was undoubtedly our guide Alex, who was very attentive, friendly, and always ensuring that the entire group was comfortable. He explains very well and makes the tour much more interesting. I totally recommend this excursion, especially if you have the luck to go with Alex.
Perfect overnight trip to the Mekong Delta from HCMC
Excellent two day trip from HCMC. Loved the time on the river, meeting local people and learning along the way. Sounds like the floating markets are not going to be around forever so highly recommend this excursion- especially experiencing the sunrise one the way to the floating markets.
