She is extremely knowledgeable, especially when explaining the different plants at the tropical garden and the traditional ways of life along the Mekong. Her passion for her job shines through in every detail, and her strong English skills make the experience accessible and engaging. I highly recommend Nga to anyone looking for an authentic and insightful tour.

She not only managed to share a lot of factual information, but also provided context and background that really deepened the experience. In addition, Nga speaks excellent English, which made communication smooth and pleasant. She took the time to answer questions and made sure we felt comfortable throughout the day. Thanks to her commitment, knowledge and enthusiasm, we look back on this trip with great pleasure. Definitely recommended for anyone considering this experience.

Authentic Cai Rang Floating Market Tour Without the Tourist Rush

5.00We did a 3-hour boat tour to the Cai Rang floating market and had a really great time. Nga was a fantastic local guide who made the whole experience feel relaxed and authentic. She timed the trip perfectly so we arrived after the big tourist rush, which made everything much calmer and more enjoyable. We visited a small local noodle factory which was very interesting to see, and it never felt pushy or like a typical tourist stop. At the market we tried delicious Vietnamese coffee, pho, fresh fruit and even got some chips directly from the boats. The whole tour felt very unhurried and personal, and Nga clearly knew the best spots and people along the river. Highly recommended if you want to experience the floating market in a relaxed and authentic way.

5.00We were the only couple on the Cai Rang tour this morning and it was amazing. Our guide Nga gave a lot of explanation and spoke very good English. The boat sails past the floating market, then walk past housework in a village, then eat noodle soup from the boat and finally sail into a small canal. Highly recommended and value for money. Our guide Nga made the getaway unforgettable. Many thanks for it!
