Discoveries and pleasures assured - Even if there are not many merchants left, the visit is still worth the cost. Excellent breakfast in the Boat and fun to participate in the making of noodles. A very nice and careful boat captain. A very interesting young guide with a very good French vocabulary.

Magnificent experience in Can Tho - The thunder started at 5:30 so you can admire a beautiful sunrise. Then we left to arrive at the floating markert of Cai Rang, which is the largest in Vietnam, where we saw the buying and selling of local products and we had breakfast with Pho (unusual for an Italian but really good), coffee and pineapple. Later we saw the production of handmade rice noodles from a small local company, navigated a small channel between coconut and mangrove plants and finally learned how cocoa is produced on a 100% organic plantation, tasting their delicious products as well. A special mention goes to our guide Edward who involved us explained every single detail and responded promptly to our requests. I highly recommend this experience, you will not regret it!

Exciting experience in Can Tho - Beautiful experience, extremely local market. We had breakfast with pho and coffee directly on the boat. We were then able to observe how rice noodles are created and visited a local cocoa production reality. The hours flew by. The guide Edward was helpful and kind, as well as nice. The tour between the canals was nice. Doing this tour with a private boat makes the visit not only private but just tailored. Experience extremely recommended!

Very interesting tour - Boat tour along one of the rivers of Can Tho very interesting and particular. The boat is comfortable with a awning to protect yourself from the sun and rain. Our guide Edward was very friendly and explained many interesting things about the various stages of the trip, from the floating market to the noodle and cocoa factory. Recommended

A must of Can Tho - Important experience that condenses in one morning all the main attractions of Can Tho. Personally, I did not know that cocoa was grown in Vietnam and it was very particular. Important mention for our guide Edward, who with a very fluent English and considerable sympathy guided us throughout the tour being always exhaustive and proactive.

An unforgettable morning. - We were taken round the floating markets and further inside through the canals by our guide Think. We had a fantastic experience and Think took time to teach us all about the local culture. It was an unforgettable experience and I would highly recommend anyone who visits Can Tho to try this. You start early in the morning so you have the rest of the day to yourself. Thank you Think for a fantastic experience
