5.00I went on the food in Can Tho and the experience was great! They brought us to different parts of the city center to eat local specialties that I never heard about and also brought us to a very nice and quiet pagoda that I didn’t know about!
Test special dishes with friendly people!

5.00The local food tour was very nice, all the adresses served delicious food, the guides were very friendly! We were with Daisy and she made sure we tasted a lot of different and particular dishes. We also booked the tour very late so a place was closed and she found a way to make us taste the dish anyway somewhere else! It was a very cool evening, thank you!
Great experience

5.00Great tour to do on your first day in Can Tho as it shows you different areas that you might not get to see Our guide was Thi, her knowledge of the food and the local area was excellent and made it a night to remember. We were introduced to food we might not have tried on our own ( rat isn’t as bad as it sounds) and saw the city at night with all the bright lights. Thoroughly Recommend the tour and ask for Thi to be your guide.

5.00How I enjoyed this Food Tour! I went out alone with Chef Thi. She waited patiently for me even though I was a little late for our appointment. I thought the dishes I would try with her were very special and exciting at the same time. Some of the dishes were really strange to me. She left the choice up to me to try the daring dishes and I must say that they were not disappointing. I often hesitantly took a small bite at first and ended up licking my fingers. I looked at Thi in disbelief and was amazed. me that it was so tasty. I expected something completely different. Chef Thi laughed and said something along the lines of: "You see, it's not that bad, right"? Very nice, cheerful young woman who knew very well what she was talking about. Passionate as she was about good food, she wanted to convey this to ignorant people like me and she succeeded very well! So don't hesitate and take that leap into the unknown with Chef Thi, she certainly won't disappoint you!!

5.00I had a wonderful time on the Can Tho Local Food Tour by Motorbike with FME Travel. The tour guide, Kiet, was very friendly and knowledgeable. He took me to some of the best places to try the local cuisine, and explained the history and culture behind each dish. I enjoyed every bite of the food, from the crispy and savory Banh Xeo, to the exotic and spicy Frog and Rat fried, to the succulent and tender Pork BBQ rolls. The Eggplant in clay pot was a delicious vegetarian option, and the Papaya salad and soya milk were refreshing and healthy. I highly recommend this tour to anyone who wants to experience the true essence of Can Tho and its amazing food. Thank you FME Travel and Kiet for this unforgettable adventure!
