Excellent day tour to the Mekong Delta!

Published on Dec, 2024

Amazing tour with Luc. Very clean, modern vehicle and Luc is an excellent, safe driver. Luc speaks very good English and was able to tell us so much about the Mekong Delta, its history, the people who live there, along with lots of other information about Vietnamese life and culture. We highly recommend this tour, which included a delicious lunch by the Mekong and our driver/guide Luc.

Mekong Delta Day Tour

Published on Nov, 2023

Mekong Delta, Vietnam 11/1/2023 We had a fantastic guide! That made our day tour to the Mekong Delta extremely special and memorable. I traveled with my 90 year old active mom. Our lovely guide Cong Thanh (Travis)was considerate and accommodating when getting on and off boats and vehicles. He spoke perfect English, which made the 12 hours we spent with him interesting and exceptional. Visiting the local communities around the Mekong Delta was colorful and educational. We learned a great deal about the history, religion, education, government, economy and the culture! Riding in the Sampan Boat was a thrill for both my mom and me. Absolutely highly recommend this tour with Travis! We think he was a 10 star guide!

Service Rendered for Classic Mekong Tour.

Although the Viator Travel has disappointed me for the arrangement of the pick-up & drop-off point which agreed upon the payment for the Classic Mekong Delta Private Tour. Nevertheless the tour guide Mr Ho Throng Luc has indeed provided us a fruitful information the tour, my wife and I really appreciated for his rich knowledge, therefore my wife tipping him and also the driver for taking care of our luggage throughout our tour.
