We booked the private tour due to 2 small kids. We could see in the discription on whats’s included, we saw it was a minivan so that would have been perfect - so with no hesitation we payed the extra cost. Well.. it was not a minivan, but a regular car. We told the guide we had booked a minivan and it is stated through Tripadvisor. The guide said she would reach out to her boss, but nothing happened and for the rest of the trip, she said nothing. So we had to sit in a small car for 4,5 hours with small kids on our lap. The driver and the guide was really good, so hopefully they will receive our refund for the minivan in tips from their boss. The guide knew a lot of things and seemed really kind hearted. The driver and the guide is the reason why this get’s 3 ‘stars’. The trip was overall really good, but we will not give a more positive review, since we booked something Else than we revieved. The trip also included ‘bike tour’(?) which we did not do either. Do not book the private tour, if you expect a minivan - which is stated through Tripadvisor.

The tour was filled with numerous highlights, but it wasn't just the excellent guidance from our guide, Duc, that made it special. The lunch was a delightful experience, offering a true taste of Vietnamese cuisine that was both authentic and familiar enough for our kids to enjoy every bit of it. The scooter ride added an exciting element to our adventure, and the visit to the coconut candy factory was fascinating. Despite the significant travel time of 1.5 hours each way, the insights into Vietnamese culture made every moment worthwhile. It was a fantastic way to experience Vietnam, and I highly recommend booking this tour for an enriching and enjoyable family experience.

Positives: - we ordered this tour around 9 pm the day before on viatur, and they were able to organise something at very short notice Negatives: - One of the reasons we chose this tour was because our hotel was in district 2, and when we booked it online it allowed us to select our hotel as the pickup and drop-off location; we were supposed to be picked up at 8 am, and I received a text message at 7 am telling us we could not be picked up at district 2, and so had to meet them at a hotel in district 1. When I explained this was one of the reasons we chose them,.and asked for a cancellation and refund, they changed their mind and said we would be pickes up at 8:30 at our hotel. Having this as the start of our tour was not a good sign. - The entire experience felt like a massive tourist trap. Everyone expected tips, and you're surrounded by boatloads of tourists. With a private tour, I expected a more intimate / authentic experience, but we might as well have joined one of the bus tours - The Mekong Delta seems to have been destroyed by a combination of tourism and industry: I could not believe the filth everywhere - Our tour was supposed to include a lunch at the home of a local family, and we were supposed to learn how to catch our own fish. Instead, we were taken to a massive restaurant by the river with a fixed menu that was way below expectations To top it all off, our guide kept asking us if we were loving it or not; tried to make us wrute a review in front of her, insisting we had to give her the highest star rating (9 or 10) or she would get in trouble; when we kept telling her we would write a review when we went back to the hotel, she then tried to film a testimonial with her phone, asking us questions about the tour!! Worst than that, over the course of the night, I received over 10 messages/calls from her essentially demanding a good review. Overall, I would not recommend a tour to the Mekong Delta, or at least not if it is like what we experienced

Although the Mekong Delta Trip is more commercialised since our last visit, was still memorable. Would not recommend for the elderly. Getting in and out of the Boats was not easy. I am 62. Negative part I would say, everywhere you went everyone was expecting a tip, don’t like that, although I always tip. Tony the guid is a legend, he made the day. Big call-out to the driver too
