Authentic Mekong Delta Tour With Local Experts

Must do experience while in Ho Chi Minh City

Very enjoyable and interesting tour on the speed boat and authentic Vietnamese canoes exploring the Mekong Delta. Anna was lovely and very informative. Relaxing and fun cultural immersive day. Food on the trip was very nice. Would definitely recommend.

Amazing service and insights

Picked up from our hotel and brought to the docks to board the boat. On the way up had a nice, simple breakfast served, with lovely iced coffee. Anne explained lots of ins & outs of this tour, while the helmsman expertly maneuvered the boat through heavy cargo traffic and fields of water hyacinths. Each stop was enlightening and gave us more/better insight in rural Vietnam, it's culture and people. Every time re-boarding the boat another fresh fruit was presented by the very attentive and friendly crew. Keeping us hydrated and eager to see/learn more. After a delicious, farm stay, lunch we headed back to HCM. Looking back at a highly recommendable tour, with great people, taking care of you, your comfort and safety at every turn of the Mekong Delta.

Best tour of my HCMC stay!

This is a fantastic tour! Lucky, our guide, was lovely, and very knowledgeable about the areas we visited. The boat driver and other crew members were polite and helpful (I was the old person on the tour and they and Lucky took great care to make sure I was able to get safely on and off the boat at each stop. Travelling by boat through waterways was a great way to beat the heat, and the ride was smooth all the way. There was a nice breakfast, lots of tropical fruit to snack on, and plenty of bottled water to stay hydrated-all I needed to take was my phone (for photos), sunglasses and sunscreen. Even those cute woven hats were provided to protect us from the sun when we visited the sites on land. Lunch was plentiful and exceptional! It was a much better experience than tours that spend hours stuck on a bus in traffic being herded around tourist sites with dozens (or hundreds) of other tourists-we didn’t see another tourist that wasn’t part of our group of 13. If you want to see the Mekong Delta, this is the best way to do it!

Response from the operator: Thank you for such a generous and wonderfully detailed review! We especially appreciate you sharing what made the day comfortable for you. Our crew and guides know that everyone has a different pace, and we’re very glad Lucky and the boat team were able to give you a little extra assistance whenever you needed it. We want the river to feel accessible and enjoyable, not something you have to worry about navigating. It sounds like you made good use of our “everything but the phone” approach! Breakfast, fruit, chilled water, and even the woven hats are all there so you can spend the day exploring rather than thinking about what you forgot to pack. We’re also thrilled that the small-group experience stood out. One of the things we value most is being able to show the Mekong without the feeling of being moved from one crowded tourist stop to another. Having the waterways, villages, markets and local life unfold at a more natural pace makes the Delta feel very different. Lucky and the entire crew will be very happy to read your words. Thank you for choosing Les Rives and for calling it the best tour of your HCMC stay. That’s quite a compliment, and one we’ll gladly take back to the team! All the best from Les Rives Team!

The tour you should take

We really enjoyed the tour, starting from our amazing guide Anna! She is kind and she speaks english perfectly. If you aren’t a crowd lover and looking for authentic local spots then this is the right tour to book. The trip boat was pleasant with endless drinks and different type of fruits included. Worth the price indeed!

Response from the operator: Thank you for such a lovely recommendation! We’re especially happy that the quieter, more local side of the experience was what stood out to you. The Mekong is at its best when you can slow down, look beyond the usual tourist stops, and simply enjoy seeing how life unfolds along the waterways. And of course, Anna! We’ll make sure she sees your kind words. Her warmth and ability to share Vietnam naturally in English are a big part of what makes her such a wonderful guide. Thank you for choosing Les Rives and for saying it was worth the price. We hope to see you back on the river for another adventure one day. All the best from Les Rives Team!
