Explorer along Mekong Delta of Vietnam to Cambodia

We booked a 2 days and 2 night tour from Ho Chi Min City to Can Tho and then travelled to Phnom Penh. We had an absolutely wonderful experience with Asia Tour Advisor! They picked us up at our hotel in Ho Chi Minh City with a private car and the tour guide gave us a hearty welcome. We did a tour on the Mekong to the floating markets which was a great experience because our guide is a local and we could have breakfast (pho) in our boat from a floating restaurant. We also had the chance to eat pineapple right from the trading boat from the floating market and also to go on the pineapple boat and experience the floating market. Our guide spoke very well English and explained the floating market and the local life to us. We then travelled to a homestay where we were spoiled with wonderful and tasty food from the hosts. The homestay was in the countryside right at the Mekong and it was a nice break from the busy cities of Hanoi and Ho Chi Min City. We also did a cycling trip through the nature and we were introduced to different local factories and farmers which was very interesting and which is also a great thing to support the local people. The homestay only had a fan in the bedroom and no A/C which made it a little difficult to sleep because it was so hot – however, we travelled in April which is apparently the hottest month there – so in the high season it may not be as hot 😉 and for a homestay it was also ok. On the next day we travelled in the sunrise on the Mekong to another floating market to have breakfast which was absolutely beautiful – seeing the Mekong in the dawn was absolutely breathtaking. This tour was really fun and interesting. We again visited local manufacturers and farmers and got again a taste of the tasty local food and a great experience. We slept in a very luxurious five star hotel in Can Tho and slept really well – only a shame we had to get up at 3 o’clock already because we then travelled on to Phnom Penh. Even thought the travel to Phnom Penh did not belong to the tour we booked with Asia Tour Advisor. So, overall, we had a really wonderful experience with Asia Tour Advisor’s tour – the guides spoke very well English and you get really a good insight of the local life (something I find quite difficult to provide and haven’t experienced in other tours). I can recommend Asia Tour Advisor’s tours to everyone and will definitely advise my family and friends to travel with them if they have the chance.

It was a very fun experience to visit the Mekong Delta with our tour guide Tuan. He was very friendly and kept the group engaged. We went by boat along the Delta into a small village, where there were singers/performers. We were shown local food and there was a large meal prepared. Tuan was so helpful and I would recommend this trip to anyone in Saigon.

The trip to the islands in Vietnam were enjoyable with the fruits were offered to us to taste. Great to see a rice field and some closeup of farm lands in Cambodia. I love it.

The tour was perfectly fine with all the accommodations with a nice tour guide. It was so much of what I expected since I was excited to learn about the history and the culture of the places we were visiting. Also, the scenery was beautiful.

We have a few ways to travel from Saigon to Phnom Penh. Firstly, we visit Ho Chi Minh & Cu Chi Tunnels. The trip to the Cu Chi Tunnel is, as expected, fairly touristic with limited freedom to roam around. Then we have 3 days in Mekong Delta with the first night stop over in Can Tho where you can visit the floating market of Cai Rang, Then the last night in Chau Doc where you will get the speed boat to Phnompenh. The speed boats start around 7 am in the morning, price around 25 USD per head and it takes about 4 hours from Chau Doc to Phnom Penh. You can easily do this way by yourself by using public buses if you are on budget or you can take the private trip if affordable, This is a very easy, interesting way to explore the Mekong Delta and great connecting way to enter to Cambodia as well.You will take more photos than you ever have before. Very few restrictions and the local people love posing for you. Happy and safe travels!

Four of us took the 7 hour tour that went to Mekong delta and then continued up river to the smaller and more intimate Ben tre followed by a trip through back canals and a brief hike beside a canal, to a boa constrictor farm and a noodle factory. We all loved every bit of it.
Our guide, Huy was affable, knowledgeable, articulate and spoke excellent English. We had a breakfast at the homestay in Ben Tre and then an early lunch near the noodle factory.
Highly recommended.

Thanks guys, you were just great. Always a bit of a worry when you book online from a different country, but you guys rocked it. The Vietnamese people were amazing, they kept wanting to touch our hair. Not creepy just really interested in us. Everywhere we went people shouted hello and how are you. We weren’t hassled anywhere we went and for two blonde girls traveling alone that makes a nice change. Vietnam is so much more beautiful than I had expected. I really enjoyed The Mekong Delta with its floating markets and also Saigon, or Ho Chi Minh as they now say. Can’t wait for the next adventure.

Asia Tour Advisor provided us with a very good service, and a top sales-consultant, who was very nice to us, she helped us in every moment and prepared a tour which fit perfectly with our expectations and budget. Her English level was top-level, and she managed to keep us informed at any time, solving your problems and asking for feedback and well-being with the product purchased. If I ever come back to Vietnam I will not hesitate a moment in choosing Asia Tour Advisor Co and ms. Huyen to organize any tour or activity
