From the outset Jimmy our guide was so helpful and friendly. With Mr Dung at the wheel we felt very safe on what was a long day. The Mekong delta tour was tailor made to our liking and, including the tour s and travelling was 9 hours. Of course probably 2 hours in the Saigon traffic! We stopped at Vinh Trang Pegoda, then onto the Mekong delta, brick making kilns, coconut manufacturing, next coconut sweet making via long tail boats I believe, then lunch via bicycle rides at a small family restaurant followed with a long bike ride to the small hand rowed boats, possibly sampan, then back to our hotel. So much to see. So much to take in. Jimmy was so informative throughout and his English was excellent. Every time we stopped Mr Dung seemed to be waiting straight away for us. His presence on the road was excellent and we felt so safe. As you probably know Saigon roads can be an eye opener but not once did we feel any unease. Every part of the trip was relaxed, no pushy sales people, no begging or feeling we had to buy anything. What a great day. If you book with Gingko please try to get this couple of guys. Enjoy

Recommend if you want a quiet day. We joined the Ben Tre full day tour and really enjoyed it. The ride to bentre was a bit longer than I expected due to traffic but the van was clean and comfortable so it was fine. Our guide kept us entertained the whole time. The boat rides through the small canals were calm and gave us a real look at daily life by the river. We got to try fresh fruits and see how coconut candy is made. Lunch was simple but very good and filling. The whole trip felt easy and well arranged, nothing rushed.

I have read and watched a lot about Vietnam but this is the first time I have been there. It is exactly what I expected for a relaxing trip in the Vietnamese countryside. The scenery in Bentre brings a slow relaxing vibe, rowing a boat under the coconut trees is very chill and cool. I also had the opportunity to explore traditional craft villages and enjoy local food. What I love most is the Vietnamese people, the guide is definitely fun and extremely dynamic, in addition, the people I met along the way were very open and welcoming, making me feel that when people say Vietnamese people are very sincere, it is not an exaggeration.

The authentic Ben Tre experience I went to the Mekong Delta for the first time. Ben Tre is a very quiet and laid back place. It felt good to ride a small boat and go slowly along the river. It was fun to watch coconut candy making. Lunch was also delicious with Vietnamese home cooking. I'd like to come with my family again.
