Breakfast was available on the boat as well as unlimited cold drinking water. It was interesting to cruise along the Delta and Henry was a great, informative guide. We enjoyed all of the activities, particularly the rowing boat and walking through the fields finding out about farming life on the Delta. We were served a delicious, huge lunch at the home of a local family and also got to meet their pet snake!
Thank you, Henry and Les Rives, for a great trip! read less

Fresh fruit and drinks were provided throughout the day and we visited some really interesting places including an orphanage and a local family home. We loved the small rowing boat around the smaller tributaries. Special thanks to our great tour guide Kha. read less

In both cases the company provided an amazing service from the moment they picked us up from the hotel until they returned us safely back .
On both tours the staff were friendly and attentive ( the skipper of the speed boat and the attendants who continually ensured we had plenty of refreshments etc during the journeys)
On both occasions the guides were exceptional in both their knowledge and enthusiasm to ensure we had a full and informative experience

Highly recommended read less

While the tour is not overwhelmingly informational it does provide sufficient information to understand how people in the Mekong Delta live from day to day. The tour promptly starts from the moment you are picked up from your hotel with direct transfer service to the power boat. There are about 3 major stops along the way but I imagine that varies based on your itinerary. First you will visit a Buddhist temple, followed by a local farm and concluding with cau dai temple, orphanage, local market, and lunch (with local alcohol infusion tasting). Henry our guide was really energetic and insightful. His team and staff were equally as engaged keeping things organized and on track. In general, sit back and enjoy the ride. Also, don’t forget to be open minded and respectful of Vietnamese way of life and culture.

Happy travels. read less

We constantly were fed fruit, cold iced drinks and lots of wonderful food at lunch. I especially liked that they did not pressure and ask for donations to the orphanage because part of our ticket to this cruise is donated to the orphanage which I really like!! The 4 person crew took very good care of us! read less

Everyone was friendly, and our guide was very informative and fun. Our speedboat was very roomy and comfortable, and nicely shaded from the sun. It took about 1.5 hours to get to the Mekong Delta area, and was a very interesting glimpse of life on and around the river. Throughout this journey, we were offered a variety of water, tea, and soda, as well as pastries and fresh fruit. We turned and went up a tributary for about 10 minutes, then transferred into canoes and went even further up the tributary, to an area where we could get out and have a short walk to view a rice paddy, sugar cane field, tapioca plants, before a quick visit a traditional house of a local family. There we had a photo op with some pythons, and opportunity to visit the “happy house” (toilet) before getting back on our boat (no bathroom facilities onboard). Once back onboard, we continued back up the river to city, where we disembarked and walked through a local market, then on to a Gou Dai Temple, followed by an orphanage. Next it was back onboard our boat, and up another tributary to a restaurant where a traditional lunch was served. Back onboard, more fruit and drinks were served, and we began the 1.5 hour journey back to our dock at Ho Chi Minh City, and bused back to our respective hotels. It was a great day and I highly recommend taking at least one of the tours Le Rives offers. We will use them again on our next visit; they do it right! read less

There are a range of options and it was difficult to know which to choose and who are genuine operators or agents. Les Rives is the actual operator and offers a high quality worth the money experience. The whole trip is on the rivers, starting on the Saigon and travelling quickly on their well equipped boat to the Mekong. This is a river trip of 1hr 45min on the rivers passing the river traffic and many houses built on stilts along the river. Passing villages and interesting ferry stops.
We transferred to little traditional boats to travel to walk through traditional farming and a meal at a 'farm house'. On the way back we stopped at a village and visited a school and market.
Our guide David was really clued up and the information he shared with us made the trip really worthwhile. We came back having gained a real feel for life in Saigon as lived by the locals along the rivers. Really another view of the city.
This is not one of the cheap trips on offer but our view is that it is really worth it to actually travel along the rivers to get the real feel of the City.
Thank you to David our guide - well done. read less

The entire trip was brilliant with all the Les Rives team being extremely friendly and helpful throughout. During the 1.5 hour boat trip to the Mekong Delta, our amazing tour guide gave us heaps of interesting facts, while we were also continually given plenty of soft drink options, plus a breakfast banh mi or croissant. At each of the stops we made once we reached the Mekong Delta, our tour guide continued to be a brilliant fountain of knowledge and made the entire experience extremely enjoyable. The highlight for me was our lunch at the last stop. We were taken to a local family’s home and given several truly delicious dishes, including a whole cooked fish, prawn and pork rice paper rolls, sweet and sour soup and both braised pork and chicken in ceramic pots. They even provided beers for only $1 per can and gave us a tasting of the delicious Mekong whisky. It is most definitely worth making this trip with Les Rives! read less
