Itinerary
- 1Pick up and direct towards My Tho Town, lying along the left side of Mekong River. Upon arrival, visit Vinh Trang pagoda which sated back to the late 19th century. Then boarding the sampan and cruising down the river around the four beautiful islands known as Dragon, Unicorn, Phoenix and Tortoise islands. The first stop is at Unicorn Island. Step ashore and go for a stroll in tranquil village paths while witnessing fruit plantations of the Delta region. Walk inside a garden to savor fresh fruit and perceive the quintessence of Vietnamese traditional folk music through songs performed by local people with the classical instruments. Step onto small rowing sampans and submerge into the breeze with the cool shadow of above palm tree vaults while being rowed through narrow canals. After that, stop at a bee-keeping farm and sample a tiny glass of honey tea & pollen. Also, visit a family coconut fudge mill to see how mighty the locals’ business is. Have lunch with culinary delights at a local restaurant. Return to the boat for Ho Chi Minh City and end the trip. ***Please note: - Because of the increasing spread of the COVID-19 in the world, the Vinh Trang Pagoda are closing temporary From 14th March 2020 - Activities may be done in a different order, compared to the brochure, but we ensure adequate supply of services as indicated in there. -Drop off time is subject to traffic, weather...so the finished time could be later than expecting.

The trip was really a great experience overall especially with the help from our tour guide Danny. He is very informative, entertaining, approachable, and a good communicator to us tourists. I really liked how he is still very optimistic even after the trip, he still smiles, entertain us, and also accomodate us properly until the end.
Would definitely recommend this and comeback again!

The trip was very nice and our tour guide Hien helped make it even better with her humor and lessons in the Vietnamese language. It is a bit touristy with a lot of small places visited that are selling things, however this is how they make their living and in no place did we feel preasured into buying things we didn't want (the coconut candy, though, is to die for, so we bought a lot :-)). The pagoda is nice and the village with local music and fruit sampling was good. We aslo went to a bee farm where we were served honey tea with some dried fruit snacks, where they of course sold different products related to honey. There was one strange thing though and that was behind the small cocoa factory there was a stop where one could take a picture with a python, I do not like these things where animals are caged and used for human entertainment, so of course I did not take a picture with the snake, this was my only dis-like of the entire tour, and for the sake of the animals I wish this to be removed. The trip up a small canal in a hand rown boat was very tanquil and serene, and then we had lunch, which consisted of several dishes which we had not tried before, great! The bike ride was maybe a bit overrated, the bikes in quite poor condition but anyway, always nice to move around a bit. After that there was some time to just chill in the area where hammoks were provided, and then we got on the boat back. All in all a good day!

Our group had 10 people and we had a great day. Our guide for the day (Peter) picked us up with a small delay. The activities were fun and we tried loads of local foods like coconut candy, snake liquor, honey and fresh fruit. The stops were all very interesting - mainly because Peter explained everything in great English. The only part we didn't like was the attached 'zoo' at the Viet Nhat lunch restaurant. The crocodiles and the porcupines are in a very tiny space.

We wanted to do a day tour to the Mekong and our hostel offered this one. Definitely not disappointed with it! The pagoda was super nice and the slow boat was refreshing. Included meal at the restaurant (and it was good!)! The tea time with honey was also super entertaining thanks to the band that was playing music. Forever thankful for our guide Natalie! Her explanations were a very nice addition to the amazing scenery and overall great day! Would do it again! Thank you very much for this amazing day!

We joined this tour to see a bit of the natural beauty of the Mekong Delta. Unfortunately we were disappointed in the end.
Organizationally, everything went very well. Confirmation, communication and schedule worked flawlessly. Our guide Thuing had everything under control very well. She was friendly and informed us about different things. I found it really nice that she tried to teach us the Vietnamese language.
Now to the tour: the whole day was very busy. An attempt is made to show tourists as much as possible in quick succession. Unfortunately, the focus here is not on nature, as we expected, but on visiting various sales opportunities. So you are shown a chocolate factory, a candy factory, you drink honey tea, you eat some fruit and local people sing traditional music (very listlessly), then lunch and afterwards you take a short bike ride through the next village. At none of these points you have much time to just linger and take a good look around. In between, three different boats take you from one place to another. With the smaller boats, however, you only go for a very short time and accordingly see little of the canals, etc., which you connect with the Mekong Delta, which was disappointing. The small boats are driven by locals. Although it's included in the price and Thuing assured us that you don't have to feel obligated, the oncoming boaters always make it very clear that you should tip later. That was very uncomfortable. The worst part, however, was that the restaurant (a huge, uncharming facility with many tables) also showed animals in cages. We booked this tour specifically because the description - unlike other tour operators - did not state that snakes were to be viewed. So we were very unpleasantly surprised that we suddenly had to see snakes, crocodiles and other animals in enclosures that were far too small and not at all species-appropriate. We hope that the organizer will change that, because for us this was kind of unacceptable.

My Mekong Delta tour was with Ted (Teddy). Of all the tours I have done since being in Vietnam, he is the most personable guide and has the best understanding of a Western sense of humor :) He definitely made the full day trip more enjoyable and I'm glad I did the tour. There was a lot packed into one day and I feel that the price was well worth it! It's about 1.5 hours on a small bus to Mekong, with a pit stop to see a Happy Buddha on the way there. Lots of activities and things to see once you get to the Mekong. The many boat rides were enjoyable and relaxing.

Min is a very funny tour guide. We enjoyed our tour with him. We tried honey with lime, local fruits and enjoyed the local live performance. Got to know how coconut sweets are made. Lunch was good, we ordered additional dishes - fried elephant ear fish, wrap with rice paper. Overall trip is good, relaxed, not too rush.
