To do without hesitation! - I spent an exceptional day, rich in discoveries and far from the beaten track! The ride on the Mekong was magical, very peaceful and rejuvenating. My guide, An, was great from start to finish: super friendly, caring, and always willing to share his knowledge with passion. I learned a lot about local traditions, industries like coconut or sugar cane, the use of palm trees, life on the Delta... A real moment of exchange and authenticity. I recommend this excursion with my eyes closed, it is an unforgettable experience. Thanks again!!

Unique experience - The tour was great! Mega exciting and very varied! It was great to talk to Dzung and Truc and learn more about Vietnam from locals. Much learned, delicious food and lunch break in the hammock a dream! Then relax in beanbags on the river and taste new fruits, great experience! Dzung and Truc are very friendly, thank you for the great day!

A memorable experience - Overall, if everything goes well, a Mekong Delta family trip with tour guide Dung can be a great experience, learning a lot, relaxing and enjoying the natural beauty of the Southwest.

10/10 would recommend - This was so worth it! It was awesome to see smaller villages and see how some of the people there live. It was also great to do things besides float down the river. But mostly it was wonderful to not be completely swarmed by tourists. The guides were fantastic. We had such a good time and really enjoyed the scooter rides and food.

Happy in Ben Tre - It was a well done tour from start to finish which we can highly recommend. Chie our tour guide was really very accommodating, she and another rider were great. We never had an uncertain feeling. The boat tour was really exceptional, the homestay where we could pack our own candies, very nicely located in nature. The subsequent Local Food Tour was the icing on the cake. We would recommend this tour wish you dear team all the best for the future. As they say, you always win twice in your life.....until then stay healthy.

Personal and close to country and people - I decided spontaneously to change the itinerary via Ben Tre and to go on tour with Chi. It was one of the best I did in Vietnam. I was lucky and was the only one in the tour. CHI picked me up from the bus station directly with a tuktuk giving it from the city and the suburbs to the first destination of the canoe tour. The trip on a beautiful old sailing barge on the Mekong Canals was exactly what I wanted away from the typical tours. Relaxed enjoying nature. Just as personally as the tour started we went for lunch at their homestay. After the break, if you want to in the hammock, you can also try the in-house coconut candies. My favorite is cocoa. On the way to Coconutplatage and a coffee shop, Chi made me some wishes like trying Banh Bao, whipping Coconut Juice fresh myself and sugar soda from bamboo-like canes and Vietnamese pancake. The tour ends with a ride home to the hotel. I really enjoyed it and can only recommend the very personal tour.

Best experience in the Mekong Delta - I recommend 100% this tour! If you come to Ben Tre you must definitely book a tour with Mekong ZigZag. We got a glimpse of life in the Mekong Delta. We saw how coconuts are picked and used, how coconut candy is made, a delicious meal, a boat ride on one of the tributaries of the Mekong River and a delicious traditional street food meal! My mother and I are delighted with the day with An our guide ☺️
