10/10 would recommend

We did the full-day tour of the Mekong Delta with Luan/Ethan as our guide. Luan was a great tour guide, making sure we are well informed and looked after on the trip. He was very good in explaining (in English) all the details. We visited coconut candy factory, honey bee farm (tasters included) and had the best lunch! Will definitely recommend.

Off the beaten track Mekong Delta

Really good trip to discover the depths of Mekong Delta area. If you want to choose a non-touristy option and mingle more with the locals, pick this one! Great guide and driver.

Amazing Full-Day Mekong Experience with Asianalink

We had a fantastic full-day Mekong River tour with Asianalink – definitely a highlight of our trip. Our guide, Hung, made the experience truly special. He was super friendly, easy to talk to, and very knowledgeable about Vietnam’s history and culture, which added a lot of depth to the tour. What we loved most was how personal and flexible everything felt. It was just me, my friend, and Hung, so we weren’t tied to a strict schedule. Being such a small group made it easy to explore at our own pace and enjoy each stop without feeling rushed. Everything was smooth, well-organized, and genuinely enjoyable from start to finish. Highly recommend this tour if you want a more relaxed and authentic Mekong experience!
