5.00We had a lovely experience with the Floating Market und Mekong Delta Tour. We spent our day with a small group of 6 persons and had a very good time with the happy driver and sunny the guide. We laughed a lot together and prepared even a traditional dish. The tour provides insights about the floating market and the local lifestyle. Overall we had a great time and the tour is very good value. Would recommend that to everybody who’s visiting can tho.

5.00Sophia was an exceptional tour guide and made our Mekong floating market and cooking class an unforgettable experience. She was incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and well-organised, and explained everything in a way that made the day both educational and fun. She took great care of the group, shared fascinating insights about local life along the Mekong, and made sure everyone felt comfortable and included throughout the tour. The floating market visit was authentic and vibrant, and the cooking class was hands-on, relaxed, and absolutely delicious. Sophia’s passion, energy, and attention to detail really stood out and made the experience feel special rather than rushed or touristy. I would highly recommend her to anyone wanting a genuine, well-run Mekong experience.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5/5 – Absolutely unforgettable!

5.00We had the best time exploring the Mekong Delta with our guide, Cory (yes, C-O-R-Y—remember the name!). From the moment we hopped onto the boat, he kept us laughing with his jokes and fun stories, all while giving us real insight into life along the river. The floating market was such a unique experience—colorful, lively, and nothing like anything we’ve seen before. Cory knew exactly where to take us to avoid the touristy chaos and still get the full vibe. It felt authentic, relaxed, and honestly just really fun. After the boat tour, he brought us to a local homestay where we got a behind-the-scenes look at Vietnamese cooking. We actually got to try our hand at preparing a few dishes, and the family there was incredibly warm and welcoming. It was one of those moments where you feel like you’ve stepped into someone’s real life, not just another tour. Overall, Cory made the whole day special. He’s funny, knowledgeable, and genuinely loves what he does—it shows. If you’re thinking about booking this tour: do it. And if you’re lucky enough to get Cory as your guide, even better. Highly recommended!
Best experience!

5.00The tour I can really highly recommend. Breakfast at sunrise on the Mekong was not only delicious, but also an unforgettable experience. The market and the insights into people's lives on the water were particularly exciting. However, I liked the boat tour through the small canals surrounded by lush greenery. A special thanks goes to our boatmaster, who guided us safely and confidently through all situations. The preparation of the traditional meal was also a real highlight. Our guide Cory was also absolutely great – entertaining, friendly and at the same time very informative.
A perfect day ok the Mekong

5.00100% recommended!! Real experience with Sunny, a knowledgeable and super friendly local guide!! You not only visit the market, but also connect with the culture there, visiting a rural non-tourist area and even a farmhouse, where you learn an interesting recipe. The price includes a traditional coffee in the market and a bowl of hu tieu, delicious soup that goes great! Then we also ate what we cooked in the cottage, with very rich local fruits. Highly recommended

5.00A wonderful experience with the most professional guide I have ever been with, is called Sunny. Very close, polite and explained with much humor the local life and history of the Mekong. We visited a local house, cooked and also stayed on a boat where they live. It's just been unique!
