Laid back Try not to let the guide control the agenda, just do what looks interesting (but be polite). Enjoy the river and take some beers!

This is one of the best tours we have experienced, I would recommend everyone staying in HCMC to put it on their must do list. The scenery, tranquility and beauty floating down the river was spectacular. We visited many islands on the way which showed rural life along the Mekong.

Our guide took us from Saigon to the delta. the car trip took about 2 hours. She arranged a Mekong Delta guide for us and a boat, all for our selves, so my hubby and I were the only tourists on board. It is affordable and relaxed. At the first island we visited we could taste all kinds of fruit that grows there. we got tea with it and listened to traditional Vietnamese songs, song by musicians. Our guide translated what the songs meant. Very endearing. On the second island they made toffees from coconut milk in different flavours.The process of making was shown and They were delicious, because you could try them, just freshly made :D. We could try making rice paper, but of course that was no success by our inexperienced hands. Handeling the snake went much better. On the third island we had the best Vietnamese lunch ever, with many dishes to try, in the middle of the bush. After lunch went on a pony cart and finished in a small boat that rowed us around the island. That peaceful and green tour was charming.
