My brother and I recently took a guided trip along the Mekong River, and it was truly one of the highlights of our time in Vietnam. From start to finish, the experience was seamless, enriching, and full of surprises.
Our guide, Dana, was absolutely fantastic. She was funny, knowledgeable, friendly, and full of insight about the culture, history, and daily life along the river. She made the entire journey feel personal and engaging.
The trip included a stop at a lively wet market, where we had the chance to where we got to see the bustling local trade up close—fresh fish and everything in between We also visited a small village where we got a glimpse into traditional Vietnamese life. A scenic bike ride through peaceful paths gave us a chance to soak in the natural beauty of the region.
One of the most memorable moments was enjoying an authentic Vietnamese singing performance—raw, soulful, and deeply moving. And of course, the food! Every dish was fresh, flavorful, and served with generous hospitality.
If you're considering a tour on the Mekong, I can't recommend this one enough. The pace was perfect, the experiences felt genuine, and Dana made the whole trip unforgettable.
