I know there are so many tours to Mekong Delta, but I would like to show you some reasons for choosing my trip.
- I and my family are local family in Mekong Delta. My parents are living there as farmers with a small bread store in the morning and a grape fruit garden, so what are more exciting than the experiences with local's life style? We are welcome you as a member in our family and of course, we always have a room to share with you in our home.
- I would like to offer you two ways to get there, by BIKE or LONG BUS. I am always willing to be your driver :D because I drive back there every weekend, you can enjoy the views on the way better. Bike will be a good choice if you would like to stay one day and one night there, but if you only have one day, I highly recommend you a very comfortable long Bus, then I will still have a Bike to drive you around there.
- If you would like to taste some traditional Vietnamese foods or you are gonna to join a class here, so now you will not need to do this if you book my trip. It's great if you can get up early to go to local market with me, pick up some materials and learn how to cook these tradition foods with the chief is my Mom and your assistant is me :D I get a menu for you as below pics
- My trip is the best way for you to get away from a trip with many other tourist and follow the tour guide during your trip. No, I am not your tour guide, I am your local friend, so I would like to experience with you on sailing boats to the islands, sit back on the horse wagon, visit coconut candy mills, selling breads, etc, All things I can do my best to show you
- This is ONE DAY trip, but I really recommend that you should spend 2 DAYS and ONE NGHTS here to enjoy the peaceful atmostphere as long as the traditional cuisines of local. So please contact me to get more info about the accomodation at my house for your best choice :D

Reviews
Vyacheslav Byelyayev(12/04/2016)Good triip overall. Duyen is very friendly and enthusiastic about her tour. I liked individual approach. She customized a trip and a timeline to fit my interests and needs. As described, the tour started with a scooter ride to a bus station. Tgen a public bus took us to Duyen's home town in the Mekong Delta just across the bridge from My Tho, where we had a coffee in a small local cafe under a giant step tree, followed by a breakfast at a local nuddle place. Then she took me on a scooter to the boat station to take a private boat and head to one of the islands which looked completely dedicated to tourists with coconut candy factory, fruit cafes with singing performance and a traditional boat ride in one of the canals. I feel that Duyen is trying really hard to make the tours pleasant and memorable for her client. A couple of advices for Duyen. She could benefit from improving her English and navigation on the streets of HCMC. Sometimes it was difficult to understand what she was saying, and sometimes she was getting lost in Saigon. If you are young and looking for adventure I'd recommend to take a triip with Duyen :)
