great experience! - We had a great time on ourTour! Our tourguide Nick was great and explained everything to us. We loved the experience and definitely recommend it! The activities included were really cool, we especially liked the cacao farm. Everything was already included in the price and Nick even bought us drinks before we got on the boat. We came from Ho-chi-Minh but I would recommend staying in Can Tho for one night if you have more time than we did, because the tour starts very early. We could leave our luggage at a hotel which was perfect so we didn’t have to take it on the boat.

Friendly guide who made every detail feel special—best way to see the Mekong! - This tour was the absolute highlight of my time in Can Tho! Having breakfast at sunrise at the Cai Rang Floating Market was so neat—such a vibrant and authentic glimpse of river life. And I loved cruising down the small, peaceful canals where we escaped the crowds and got to see a quieter side of the Mekong. The stops along the way were also fantastic: the noodle factory gave me a real appreciation for how much work goes into something so simple, and the cacao farm was delicious—I still can’t stop thinking about the fresh hot chocolate! What really made the experience special, though, was my guide. He was incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and truly brought the culture and traditions of the region to life, while also sharing personal stories that made everything feel so much more meaningful.

Day in the real Vietnam - A unique and engaging experience. We chose (thanks to Nik's really super advice) a private tour. This allowed us to get in touch with local realities (noodle producers, dragon fruit grower, cocoa farmer) and talk to them thanks to the very prepared and sweet Huong. We visited the floating market, enjoyed delicious fruit and visited the home of a family living on boats. We concluded with a typical lunch, understanding how the dish was consumed, seen many times in our holiday but never tasted, again thanks to Huog. We really recommend this experience.

Authentic tour of the Mekong Delta - Beautiful and authentic visited places. Nick, our guide was really nice, kind, attentive to our needs and very prepared. He took us on several stops during the tour, one more beautiful than the other, one above all the Cai Rang floating market.

Great, all included and smooth experience - Nick and Grace nailed it. Everything ran like clockwork, and while some spots might be reachable on your own, the way they tied it all together made the difference. They even threw in some extras that day because they had the option — not something to count on, but it shows they care and stay sharp. Would 100% go with them again.

Perfect experience - ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The experience with Nick was fabulous! We get up early in the morning to enjoy the sunrise and visit the floating market. Inside you will taste really all the local specialties (banh mi, bun bao, all the fruits of the region). Then we go to beautiful little canals that run along the Mekong, ending up at the cocoa farm. At each site, Nick takes the time to explain the story or annumectodes. His English is perfect so feel free to ask him any questions you want. We recommend with eyes closed!!
