Cruising the Mekong Delta by Speedboat - Thoroughly enjoyed this river cruise from HCM to the Mekong Delta. The commentary by tour guide Anna was excellent, she has so much knowledge to share with everyone. We visited many places in local areas including a farm where were able to see the rural life of a local family. We were treated to an amazing lunch in an authentic location under a thatched gazebo overlooking the fields. I would like thank Anna and also Quynh, who kept all the passengers treated with tropical fruits and drinks, for a fantastic day out in the speedboat.

Enjoyable tour, with friendly & knowledgable guide. Bonus overnight stay at the beautiful Island Boutique Hotel, - Really enjoyed the tour! Everything was super organised and our tour guide, Lucky, was friendly and very knowledgable. It was good to be off the tourist trail and to see real Mekong Delta life. The Island Boutique Hotel was a true hidden gem on the river, a perfect oasis of peace & tranquility which was just perfect after a busy tour in the morning - would definitley like to go back and stay there.

Les Rives delivers on this tour again! - This was our second Les Rives tour that we booked this week, as we couldn’t fault them after our first trip to the tunnels. We were impressed yet again.. our tour guide was called Lucky who we also had for our first trip. She was great professional knowledgeable engaging the trip itself was the perfect number of us. The boat was clean. The refreshments were great. The lunch was spot-on and the tour itself was personable and we didn’t see any other tourists whilst we did it. Thank you so much yet again, lucky thank you very much. Highly recommend.

Mekong by speedboat - We are so glad we chose this tour to see the Mekong.Anna was an exceptional tour guide, being very informative, funny and caring for our wellbeing. The young girl with the beautiful smile who looked after the drinks and fruit did her job to perfection. We never needed to ask for anything, it was always there. Speeding along the river with no traffic and lots to see is the best way to go. The home visit and the pythons was a highlight and seeing the church and boarding school an in sight to life in Vietnam. Highly recommend this tour and tour company.

Fun, informative, authentic tour away from the tourist routes. - The tour with Les Rives was excellent. Our guide Lucky, was enthusiastic and knowledgeable. We experienced an authentic look at the people and culture of the Mekong Delta region. Travelling by speedboat was comfortable and allowed us to see a different view of the river. Lunch was delicious at a local restaurant.
