About Mekong Tours

1. Night first. We decide where you sleep from the mornings you want: Cai Rang needs Can Tho the night before; Tra Su and the boat to Cambodia need Chau Doc.
2. One town per night at most. No sleeping somewhere you only see in the dark.
3. Long legs in daylight. The longest drives are placed so you arrive before dinner.
4. The honest version. We tell you the floating markets are smaller than their photographs, which day is a long drive, and which month the forest is low.
5. Facts with dates. Fares, opening hours and border rules on this site carry their source and the date we read it, because they change.

• Single-day trips. We do not run them. Every route has at least one night in the delta.
• Homestay trips. We do not build routes around a night with a family. Our nights are in hotels.
• Luxury. We book 3–4 star hotels. If a resort or a high-end hotel is the reason for your trip, we are the wrong people to plan it.
• Large groups. Our largest vehicle carries a party of about eight comfortably. Bigger groups need a coach and a different kind of operator.
• Cambodia beyond the boat. We get you to Phnom Penh. Your Cambodian hotels and onward travel are yours to arrange, or another company's.
• Languages other than English. Ask, but we cannot promise a guide in another language.

Every fare, opening time, distance and border rule on these pages comes from a published source, named under the section where it appears, with the date we checked it. Road times are planning ranges built from route distances, and say so. Where sources disagree, or where we could not confirm something from an official source, the page says that too, and tells you to check before you travel.

Prices of our routes are not published, because they depend on your party size and dates. The pricing page explains how a quote is built and lists the local prices we can state.
