Mekong Delta tour 2 days 1 night - It was was our 30 years anniversary and we booked 2 days 1 night group tour. Our lovely tour guide Luan confirmed everything a night before and texted that he is waiting for us 10 minutes before the pick up time and said not to rush, just informed us that he is there. The car with the very courteous driver Thang was waiting with the air conditioner on, which was also very nice. Although we booked for a group tour, we were the only tourists there, so we had Luan and Thang all to ourselves 😊 Luan speaks good English and he told us a lot about history of Vietnam and about places we visited. The tour was very informative and interesting, easy to follow and no pressure at all. Overnight accommodation is very clean and setting is romantic. We are well travelled, but first time in Vietnam and loving it so far. It somewhat similar to Thailand 20 years ago, so if you think to explore it- now is a good time. Special thanks to our lovely lovely tour guide Luan who made our Mekong Delta tour so flawless ❤️

Must do trip with Asiana travels - This was my most wonderful trip with my son. very well organized around exactly how we needed our trip to be..I was keen to learn the local culture and see local village homes and cook and eat their food :) and my son was keen to cycle around the village and learn about village people. Seeing floating market , noodle factory and eating seasonal fruits was great. Night at bamboo eco village stay was luxurious and refreshing. Nam our travel guide took such good care of helping us understand about vietnamese culture, he is very knowledgeable , positive and full of energy :) and always smiling !! Thanks Nam and Asiana link for making our trip totally worth it !!

Thanks Asiana Link Travel for such a fabulous tour of the Mekong Delta - We wanted a small group tour that would give us a great experience and insights into life on the Mekong Delta - and that is what we got. We went with Asiana based on the reviews and weren't disappointed. The arrangements were impeccable - the contacts beforehand were good and we were collected from our hotel at the allotted time. The host (Nam) cheerfully introduced himself and off we went, collecting another 10 intrepid travellers on the way. After the expected 2 hour drive in a comfortable, air-conditioned, minibus we started to experience life on the Mekong Delta, in a series of ever smaller boats learning, amongst other things, how coconut milk is extracted and coconut candy made. The other guests were all engaged and Nam happily answered questions throughout. After a delicious lunch we said good-bye to the other travellers who had chosen the one-day option and continued on our adventure in Nam’s good hands. Having driven to Can Tho, we arrived at our home stay. We hadn’t really known what to expect but from the moment we met Mrs Hung we knew we were in good hands. After helping make some vegetable spring rolls we sat down to a simple but delicious spread of fresh, local delicacies - including the spring rolls. We asked Mrs Hung and her son (as well as our tour guide, Nam) to join us, and spent the rest of the evening getting to know them and (maybe) helping them learn a little more English. The accommodation was simple but clean and comfortable, with AC, and we slept well until our alarm went off at 05:00 so that we could enjoy breakfast before an early trip to the floating market. Getting there early, as Nam recommended, was the right thing to do, as it was much less crowded than it would be when we left, as would the visit to the Old House where we made rice pancakes. If you have time for the two-day tour, it’s worth it to see some of the less crowded sights of the area. We would highly recommend that you go with Asiana if you are planning a trip to the Mekong Delta. The more you are prepared to put into it the more you will get out of it, and if you are looking for a break from the hustle and bustle, or just trying not to stay in yet another hotel, then Hung Home Stay is the place for you. Thanks again to Asiana for arranging the tour and to Nam for showing us the Mekong Delta.

Great Mekong Delta tour - Excellent organized tour. Vinh answered all of our random questions and gave us a sense of history and culture of Vietnam, and he had a great sense of humour. The tour covered many things, locations, tastings, and we had a beautiful traditional lunch. We were so happy we went exploring with Vinh.

Mekong delta - James was our guide. He was always in a good mood and did his best to arrange everything perfectly. We gained a lot of impressions. I preferred the 2nd day: visit to the floating market, the market on shore and the bike ride. Our homestay was nice. The hostesses made a delicious meal and were very hospitable. Katie from sales informed us well in advance and also asked afterwards if everything had gone well.

Magnificent tour with super LOI! - I can only be so happy with this tour! First time in Vietnam, I read and studied the story before arriving in this beautiful country and I was very curious, but I can say that these 2 days exceeded my expectations! Beautiful landscapes, families and kind people, smiling and friendly, but the top of the top was our guide, Loi, super efficient, super nice and above all super helpful and prepared to answer all our questions and curiosity! We could not ask for better driving!! I rabbit this tour and I really hope you can do it with Loi!

2 day Mekong tour with Loi - We spent 2 days with Loi! He made us do everything that was in the program, entertained us very well, gave us a lot of information accurately and with so much passion. Although English is not my strong suit I felt involved in all activities. Available, organized, polite and present. He took care of us perfectly. Loi, top driver!

Great trip to the Mekong Delta - With our great tour guide Vinh, who really made an effort, we had an amazing experience. He made a lot of pictures for us and sent them to us on whatsapp. We were lucky as we were the only 2 people that booked the 2 day tour. On day 1 it was a really small group (2 other people). I definitely recommend the 2 day tour; do not miss out on the floating market on the 2nd day which was for me the best part of the trip! We saw and tasted some traditional food and drinks. You can buy everything, but never feel pressured or forced to do so.

Highly recommended - A highly recommended tour especially to disconnect a little from the city and see the rural part. Our guide, Loi is a charmer gives you all kinds of explanations and along the way he puts on entertaining games for everyone.
