Si vous souhaitez vous retrouver avec 40 touristes pendant deux jours, si vous souhaitez ne rien découvrir et être seulement pris pour un portefeuille embullant cette excursion est pour vous ! On vous vend un tour de barque qui ne dure en fait que 4 minutes montre en main, on vous arrête sans cesse dans des endroits, soit disant des fabriques mais en fait juste un endroit où acheter (du miel, des bonbons emballés par des enfants, des nouilles..) Vous aurez même la chance de porter sur vos épaules un serpent amorphe enfermé dans une cage toute la journee, quelle chance ! Vous ferez du bus toute la journée pendant des heures. Le seul point positif est le homestay si vous choisissez l'option 2. Évidemment on vous dit que vous allez pouvoir preparer le repas et manger avec les locaux, queneni. Vous mettrez simplement un pauvre nem dans une poelle et mangerez avec un autre groupe de touristes. Cependant vous dormirez dans un petit bungalow typique au bord du Mekong. Bref, amoureux de la nature, fuyez !douglas1928p

We did 2day/1night Mekong Delta on the Mekong cruise, visiting the floating market the following market. During the cruise we visited a popped rice factory and a noodle factory- interesting experiences in themselves. The floating market is an amazing demonstration of people’s resilience where they live aboard their boats, which are also shops. The boat ride across is easy enough and visiting the honey farm, local plantations and coconut candy factory have us a taste of local life, Local food. Well worth a trip and spending half a day to a day.Ignacio M

Ridiculo!! Resulta que lo que había contratado me daba alojamiento una noche en can tho con todas las respectivas actividades. Cuando cojo el autobús me doy cuenta de que ese mismo primer día vuelvo a ho chi Ming y al día siguiente vuelvo para hacer otra actividad con otro tour de día distinto. Vamos que me acabaron metiendo en dos tours de día distintos pasando casi más tiempo en el autobús que en el resto de actividades.
