Full description
Your tour begins hotel pickup in Ho Chi Minh City between 7:30 AM and 8:00 AM. Travel by minivan or bus to My Tho, a city situated on the Mekong Delta. Take part in a variety of activities that will offer you the chance to get to know Vietnam. Hop aboard a horse-drawn cart and admire the coconut trees that dominate the landscape. Row down the canal in a small boat, then cycle down provincial roads to see the rice fields, pineapple plantations, orchards, and small hamlets. Ride a motorboat down the mighty Mekong River and see Dragon Island, Phoenix Island, and Turtle Island. Stop at the famous Unicorn Island and visit a local bee farm. Taste natural honey along with honey wine, rice wine, and banana wine. Walk through the village, then visit a coconut candy workshop and learn how to make coconut candies. Hop back on the motorboat and travel along lush green canals to a local restaurant where you'll enjoy a Vietnamese lunch. Venture to another part of the island and enjoy tropical fruit as you listen to traditional south Vietnamese music. If you choose the "Luxury Tour Group Tour" option then after this delicious snack, you will take you back to My Tho to visit the Vinh Trang Pagoda. Enjoy the convenience of hotel drop-off once the bus has returned you to Ho Chi Minh City.

We had an amazing day exploring the Mekong Delta with our tour guide, Tommy! He was very knowledgeable, friendly, and helpful! His English was excellent (a plus for my English speaking husband) and he also communicated in Vietnamese with my Vietnamese speaking parents. Tommy even took photos for our group (and other groups on the tour) and offered to share them with us which was greatly appreciated! The food was good and they were able to accommodate my husband’s diet request of no seafood. This was the first tour in Vietnam where we were actually picked up from our hotel on time! Other group tours we have booked were up to an hour late picking us up. Fun day! Excellent service!

Our tour guide Niem was great. He gave lots of information throughout the day. There was so much to see in one day but we didn't feel rushed. We enjoyed the traditional boats and seeing how all the local products were made. So much food and drink was included in the tour as you got to try all the products and also stopped for lunch.

Overall, the tour was good but I noticed one thing. There was an elderly couple who had a hard time getting in and out of the boat. The guide did a good job helping the couple, but the boat started moving before one of the elderly couple was seated. The boat operator and the guide should have communicated better to make sure everyone, especially the elderly, is seated before moving the boat.
