If you don't want the tourist traps and want something very authentic, do this tour. The speedboat gets you up the delta in 1 hour and is a great way to see various parts of the city (you also get some nice fruit and pastries on the way). We got to meet the 'tofu' family and 'rice wine' family. What a great experience!

Helpful?

Our guide Vien (Danny) was very friendly. He picked us up at the hotel and we went to the boat. This is a tour away from masstourism, where you really get to see the farmers and their work in the mekong delta. All the People are so nice and it puts a smile on each facs if you greet them in vietnamese. We were on the tour for around 4.5 hours and did not see one other tourist group. If you are looking to see more then just the tourist-pathes, this is perfect. Would definately recommend it!
