Both my wife and I thoroughly enjoyed this trip. Taking the speedboat is a great experience in itself and allows you to see aspects of HCMC that are in accessable by other means. The staff were were very professional and provided a great level of service. The tour of the countryside was very informative and gave your a great insight into life in rural Vietnam. Breakfast is provided on the boat so I'd recommend skipping breakfast before you go. Lunch is also provided which was delicious and plentiful.

Visiting the Mekong Delta by high speed boat is a must - getting there is really interesting as you pass by lots of different suburbs of Saigon (some of the poorer areas are an eye opener). The small group was great and we were looked after really well by our two hosts (who both spoke good English). The snacks, drinks and lunch was all excellent and the stops we made were informative and friendly - well worth the money

Our tour guide arrived to our hotel on time. He was very knowledgeable about the people, culture & area in general. He also had a great sense of humor. We were well fed & had plenty of cold water, sodas & ice tea to drink. They even provided rain ponchos for us when it started to rain. The whole experience was wonderful & the attention to detail was much appreciated. We would highly recommend this boat tour experience.

This is an excellent trip. You can do the same thing much cheaper by taking the bus tour but this was a lovely way to travel by river and see the sights and no traffic hold-up. The boat goes quite fast so staying cool is not a problem. You are pampered with light refreshments while in the boat. Our guide was excellent.
