This was our third time on this tour and each one was different. Our guide was Hang who was informative and provided a great insight into river life. The boat was smaller than our last tours, but it made a more intimate trip and they were fast and clean. Food was provided throughout the trip and I found lunch very tasty and was plentiful. Hotel collections were on time and all in all the tour was very well organised. This tour was a great way to get out of the city and enjoy the way of life of the locals.

We had a fantastic one day tour with Hang to the Mekong Delta region. Hang so enthusiastic and knowledgeable about the culture, people and places of the Delta, she really brought it alive for us. We also liked the small group feel of our tour - just 10 of us in total which makes this a much better tour than Saigon River Tours in my opinion 😊

Best one day tour ever! We were in easily accessible but remote areas and never saw any other tourists. Huyen (sp?) was our tour guide, spoke perfect English and answered all of our questions. Her team on the boat and was great and the food they serve was excellent. We made the mistake of eating breakfast at our hotel not realizing they had breakfast sandwiches on the boat. The lunch was simply over-the-top. I would definitely recommend this tour to family and friends without hesitation.

Great trip, our second with Les Rives, after Chi Chu tunnels the week before. Again, travel by speedboat is much nicer, and gives a different perspective on the city & countryside. Our guide was great. Strongly recommend this tour!

I've taken the tour twice - once in 2019 and again with my family a few weeks ago. Really enjoyed both times. A great overview of life in the Delta and what better way to explore than by boat!
