Reviews

"We had a great time on the Mekong Delta Day Tour. It was a great way to see a part of Vietnam that we wouldn't have had time to see otherwise. We went to the markets, tried rice wine, and did many other Vietnamese things. We went to places where few tourists go and saw how people living close to the delta make a living. I don't remember what I ate, but it tasted great with a cold beer. We went on a tour of a family-run business that made sticky rice and another that made incense. We saw many interesting people and places, like churches and shrimp farms. We learned a lot about Vietnam's culture and way of life. A wonderful experience."
