5.00We had a great tour. Our guide Sophia gave us lots of information about the floating market and also about the flora and fauna in the Mekong Delta. The rest of the programme was very authentic and showed us the life of the people living along and on the river. Sophia was a very funny guide with excellent English. Thank you very much! Highly recommended!

5.00A fun, educational and honest discovery of Melong Delta with guide Corry. He gave us a glimpse into the history of this place and contemporary life. The cooking workshop that came with it was also very nice and tasty. I would recommend this tour blessing
The one thing you have to do in Can Tho!

5.00Must see when visiting Can Tho. The floating markets are an impressive place and you learn a lot about the market. At the same time, however, you also notice that tourism has become a very important part of the wholesale market. After the market visit including breakfast we went to a side arm where we prepared hearty mini pankes together in a lodge. The end of the tour was around 11:30 and due to getting up early you were really very knocked out - I wouldn't plan on doing any more major activities that day. Big praise to our guide Lucia!!
Fun morning with Sophia

5.00Excellent day with our guide Sophia, who was super friendly and accommodating for everyone. The tour had a nice mix of activities including the market, food/snack stops, cooking, etc. which made it fun. Communication regarding meeting point was clear, good for a 5:30 start. Definitely recommend with Sophia!
So glad I got up early!

5.00It was so lovely seeing the sunrise from our little boat. Breakfast on board was really delicious. Fun to see how the trading happens. A little sad these markets are dying out so would recommend visiting while they are still operational. The biggest treat of this tour was my guide Clara. She gave such amazing insight to the lives of the people in this area. She was incredibly open about her own experiences growing up here and honestly, if the tour was just having a coffee and chat with her, I would do it all over again!
Great tour of the floating market without any sales pitches, factory visits!

5.00Great tour, fantastic guide (Quyen)!! Got all I wanted from the tour without any touristic workshop/factory/shop visits. Fully in nature, chill day. Quyen is a sweetheart. Very friendly, good natured person. Highly recommend both the tour and the guide.
So worth it!!

Authentic Tour

5.00I wasn't very convinced to go to Can Tho because I had read that the floating market is not what it was before but thanks to the insistence of my girlfriend who found this tour we decided to go. Our stay was short only one day, so if you only have that time I highly recommend doing this activity. We started very early in the morning and it was great because we did a lot of activities and didn't even notice the time. Our guide Song (Sunny) was a fundamental part of the tour, his grace and personality gave the special touch to everything and made us think that while the market is not the same as before because time and modernity advance, this is part of the culture. I thank Sunny for the experience!!
Wonderful tour of Mekong lifestyle
