I went on this tour with family, and it was the perfect way to explore the Mekong Delta in just one day. We started at Vinh Tràng Temple, which was absolutely beautiful with its huge Buddha statues and peaceful atmosphere. From there, we visited several spots around Bến Tre and the surrounding villages, where we learned about local crafts and traditions—it really gave us a taste of authentic Vietnamese culture.
One of the highlights was trying unique drinks: a honey green tea that was super refreshing, and even a shot of honey mixed with snake inside the jar (such a once-in-a-lifetime experience!). We also took a relaxing boat ride through the Delta, saw charming cottages, and walked through lush gardens.
Our guide James made the day extra special—he was so kind, fun, and full of knowledge. He answered all our questions and kept the group engaged the whole time.
The trip was packed with things to see and do, but it never felt rushed. It was the right mix of adventure, culture, and relaxation. Definitely 100% recommend this tour if you want to experience the beauty of the Mekong Delta in a day.
