"Four of us stayed on the Mekong Eyes riverboat, which is a beautifully converted rice barge, for two nights. A great way to see the Mekong Delta, stopping off for bike riding, village visiting etc. The staff, & service was great. Smallish cabins, but to be expected on a boat. Good sized bathroom with full size shower. The food was excellent & plentiful. Vegetarians well catered for too. WiFi patchy & only available in the lounge, but perfectly OK for general use."

"We went on a two-day cruise to the Mekong Delta during our trip to Vietnam in January 2018. The tour was fantastic! The boat was nice and clean, the cabins very nice and comfortable, the food was delicious. We really enjoyed the excursions, it was very nice to walk in the nature and visit local villages by bike. We strongly recommend this tour!"
