Amazing experience with a personal touch - This tour was simply amazing and exactly the Mekong experience that I had been looking for. The tour guide Ann was great as well as the boat guide Txuy. They took me early to see the floating markets and I really enjoyed watching the traders in the little boats for a good while. We then went into small canals with true Mekong feeling savoring small fruit on the go. Txuy made some lovely items (for example a cute grass hopper) from leaves for me (what great skill). I particularly enjoyed breakfast on one of the larger house boats and being treated to authentic and delicious soup and other food. A brief stint at a nudle factory was fun and interesting. We then went on to a local market to see how goods from the water transitioned onto land. I was offered to taste a variety of things that all were really good. I can fully recommend this tour to anyone seeking a great experience with a very personal touch.

Great immersion into life in the Mekong Delta. - We booked our tour the evening before and were promptly picked up by Nhu Y the next morning. It was a beautiful experience to witness the history and life in the Mekong Delta. Nhu Y was super accommodating and explained everything very well. The floating markets were very exciting to see. We helped in the making of rice noodles. Then we went to a fruit garden where we also got to taste. After that, we returned to the floating market to eat a pineapple on a local's boat. Thank you very much for the experience.

Make the effort to get up early for this! - What a fabulous day with our lovely guide An. It was a very early start in the dark and we were a little trepidatious but once in our boat and quietly motoring down the Mekong, any concerns soon disappeared. An was knowledgable and so friendly and we had the best day seeing the markets up close and personal (even going on board a boat!), as well as seeing the noodle making and trying milk apples that An picked from a tree we floated past! It was totally worth the journey and two nights in Can Tho - just to do that trip Thank you so much

Fascinating Trip along the Mekong Delta - Lovely trip along the Mekong Delta River, fascinating to see another way of life. It's quite a journey to get to the Phong Dien floating market but its great to watch the sunrise and have breakfast amongst the local traders. On the return leg you get to see the Cia Rang floating market. This is away of life that is slowly diminishing. You should see before it disappears. Our tour guide Nhu Y Le was was fulll local information along the tour. Would highly recommend.

Great experience - I had a great time experiencing the Mekong Delta with our guide Nga. It was a very small group, just me and two other people. Nga was very caring, got us coffee and breakfast in the morning. We visited a floating market, that was not touristy at all, were were almost the only foreigners. After enjoying Pho on the market we visited a Dragonfruit Farm and learned about the production of rice noodles. After that we visited a local family living on a house boat. Overall a super special experience, would recommend to do if you stay in Can Tho or Ho Chi Minh

Great tour on markets - We were lucky to have a private tour as other people missed. And An was a great guide. She explained everything and although we did several stops, we were not pushed to buy anything. But she was supportive of the community. Would recommend.

Beyond expectation - As our first stop for our month long vietnam trip this tour really set a high expectation. Our tour guide phong was phenomenal, picking up from airbnb, knowledge about the area and culture. He also shared with us other must see locations when we told him about our route. To top it off he recommended us a local specialty restaurant to visit, absolutely delicious.

Unique tour! - We had Phong as our tour guide. He was very informative and passionate about the area. Learnt lots about the culture and ate some delicious noodles and local fruits. You’ll definitely be very full after the trip. Only thing I’d would say is to skip the first 2 markets. Not much to do as they weren’t operating. Everything after the dragon fruit farm was great.

Expensive tour - The tour to the floating market was great and it was worth getting up early. Pick up on time, small group of 4 people and a dedicated, friendly Nga as a guide. Delicious sticky rice and coffee enjoyed in the middle of the market with the sunrise. Unfortunately, you tend to quickly miss the other points such as the village, local life, orchard and rice noodle farm. And I find the price of the tour at €63 to be much too high. I wouldn't do it again.
