Private 3-Day Mekong Delta River Tour from Phnom Penh to Ho Chi Minh City

VIP so no hurry

Two days of an amazing drive through real Vietnam. The accomodation was top class with quality restaurants on site. The activities are unique. Not many birds at the sanctuary but I was pleased with the venue, boat ride and gardens. As you visit the market gardeners bringing their produce buy an authentic coffee and breakfast from the vendors. Try the tastes on offer. Crazy drivers here but had a safe driver and good guide. Remember your e visa before ferry trip.

Overall, it was a great trip

Overall, it was a great trip, although slightly marred by Cambodia unexpectedly closing the river border on the final leg to PP. However, our guide, 'Tri,' was excellent throughout, which we truly appreciated. While a couple of activities didn't quite capture our interest and felt like filler, the enjoyment we experienced from the others more than made up for it. The hotels exceeded our expectations and were conveniently located. Although the lunch on the first day was not impressive, the second-day lunch made up for it. Given the considerable time spent on the coach, it's advisable to bring along some entertainment to pass the time.

Wonderful Guide and Bike Tour of Mekong Delta.

A wonderful trip! Hai Le (our guide) is top notch. Very professional and knowledgable. We learned a lot about the country, the history, the people, and ate wonderful food. Hai knows many good restaurants along the way and he ordered for us so by the end of the trip we had tried many local dishes. He was very accommodating to the variety of fitness levels of folks in the group - and gracious with the locals whom we stopped to chat with and learn from. Communication with Bravo could be improved by sending a packing list along with the itinerary (highly suggest padded biking shorts and gloves) as well as details upfront regarding airport pick ups etc. The trip was wonderful and just as advertised.

TLDR: Sounds like a scam, did not go

I have contacted the company about their Mekong delta tour from Phnom Penh to Ho Chi Minh city, trying to avoid the middle man a book directly through them. While the Google search found many companies that facilitate the booking, there was no sight of the tour on the official site. Therefore I sent them an email about my inquiry and they sent me a link to a secret australian website where the tour was available. Sounds weird, but okay. I went ahead and asked whether it would be possible to pay for the tour in cash upon boarding, with a deposit beforehand. They said it was possible and when I went ahead with the secret Australian listing, selecting Pay cash on departure from the options. I expected a pay gate to show up, to pay for the deposit, but nothing came up. I got a confirmation in my inbox. Later the company contacted me about my passport information and I responded, as well as asked some questions about the departure (as the booking/website stated 12 AM which seems unlikely - but I thought it was an honest mistake). They responded quickly. 10 days since my initial booking have passed and suddenly I received inbox for the full price of the tour and an email that clearly stated that I need to pay the whole balance (almost 700$) withing 48 hours or my booking will be released. I responded asking them about it and the conversation turned sour real quick. I asked why they didn't contact me immediately upon receiving my booking that they require it be paid in full (because of the high demand season, as they stated) or invoiced me for the deposit during the 10 days. I obviously refused to pay the whole amount, reffering back to the booking and our previous conversation. The last email I have received from them was extremely rude and unprofessional, short of calling me poor and irresponsible, because I refused to pay all of the money. They set they would settle for 50% deposit (more than 350$) and I can pay the rest upon boarding (cash???). We've decided to forgo the tour, because it has all the tell-tale signs of a scam. I am not getting peer-pressured into spending my money on this.
