Fantastic tour packed with activities, never a dull moment. Highly recommend, great experience with stark contrast to HCM and Northern Vietnam. Great communication (through whatsapp) for pickup and drop off directly to hotel.

It was a very satisfying tour. The guide tried hard to tell us about Vietnamese culture and local information in Japanese, and the food and jungle cruise were fun and made for a great memory. And the cost performance was excellent for the tour content. It was a tour I would recommend if you go to Ho Chi Minh City. I would like to go again if I go to Ho Chi Minh City again.

The Mekong River Day Tour was an incredible experience, well-organized and perfect for a one-day trip. Booking through Klook was seamless and hassle-free. Our guide, RICK (SST Travels), was outstanding, super friendly, fluent in English, and incredibly knowledgeable about the Mekong River and its culture as it is his hometown. He made the trip fun, engaging, and highly educational. We truly enjoyed spending the day with him. The itinerary was packed with activities, giving excellent value for money. From learning about local traditions to experiencing multiple boat rides, the tour provided a rich and immersive cultural journey. It was both informative and enjoyable, with the tour guide ensuring our safety and making the experience even more memorable. The group dynamic was another highlight. Despite being part of a large group (25+ people), everyone was kind and respectful, creating a welcoming and safe atmosphere. Even though we didn’t talk to everyone, it felt comfortable touring together. We even made some new friends, which added to the fun. The food provided was decent and satisfying, with portions large enough to share among eight people per table. The tour also included fresh fruits, honey tea, and coconut juice, which were thoughtful touches. Considering the price, the inclusions were very reasonable; a round-trip ride, multiple local experiences, and plenty of activities on the Mekong River. Overall, this tour is a must-do if you’re visiting the area. It’s informative, entertaining, and offers great value for money. Highly recommended for anyone looking to explore the Mekong River and its unique culture.
