5.00We were allowed to witness the sunrise at the Mekong Delta. The entire tour was a highlight. Nga the tour guide was very friendly and fulfilled every wish. During the tour we got to experience various things, eat the rice noodle factory, noodle soup at the Floted Market, fresh pineapple and other fruits at locals and we were driven through a beautiful canal. We got a great insight into the lives of the local people. In addition, Nga speaks very good English, we were able to communicate very well. The boater has and guided very safely and pleasantly through the Mekong Delta. Many thanks Nga for the great experience, we will never forget that.

5.00Had a great tour of the small canals ( and sunset) with Nga. The tour started at 2pm and ended at approximately 6.30 pm … absolutely loved seeing the plants and wildlife in the small canals, plus we had a great stop on the riverbank where we had a tour of a farm growing corn/tropical fruits… I found it really eye-opening. Nga was a lovely tour guide and I feel so lucky that we had her delivering our tour.
What a lovely afternoon!!
