    I did both this tour and Cu Chi tunnels/Mekong Delta. This tour definitely wins! Although you have to wake up very early, it is totally worth it. The floating market is suc a unique experience! And we were fed really well: only at the market we had full breakfast, fruit, and coffee. Then, we also ate at the fruit farm and rice-noodle factory. The fishermen villages were very cozy and picturesque with a lot of lovely places to stop and make photos. Our guide, Phong was very caring and attentive. It was a great day to spend outside Saigon and see more of rural Vietnam.

    This was a wonderful tour! We agreed it was an excellent way to get outside of HCMC for a day to experience a different style of life in Vietnam. Our driver arrived precisely at our arranged pickup time and we had a comfortable, safe drive to Can Tho. We had to wake up early, but we agreed it was worth the early wake-up to see the market in the morning when it is lively. Our guide Nga was charming and knowledgeable, and she welcomed us as though we were old friends. We did a variety of activities after the market, such as visiting a fish farm, seeing a rice noodle factory, and going to a local restaurant where we made jackfruit cakes. It was a busy but entertaining day. A few things of note- first, we feel that this was as much a food tour as a sightseeing tour. We tried a variety of different fruits, soups, and cakes. We were very full when we were finished, and also took some fruit back to HCMC with us, so arrive for this tour with an appetite! We would also like to mention that this tour requires guests to step in and out of boats on multiple occasions, and guests who have issues with their knees, backs, or balance issues may have a slight amount of difficulty with this part of the trip. Our guide was very helpful, but this trip may be uncomfortable for some. There was also a small amount of walking, maybe 1km or 2km total or so. Overall, we were thrilled with this tour. We thought we paid a fair price, and we did a lot for our money. We left the city at 4:00am and arrived at 4:00pm, so we still had time to enjoy an evening in the city upon our return. Thank you for a wonderful day!

    Our Guide Nga was very good. You can see, she loves the countryside. She showed us the plants, the life of the fisherman and the floating market. It was amazing to see and taste all the fruits, the pho (the traditional soup) and the hot pot. We went to a family, where we got the hot pot and we baked our own cake. We saw the jumping fish and other different fishes at the fishfarm. The noodles factory was ok, but the break on the boat of a fisherman, who served us fresh pineapple was great. Overall we loved the one day tour and we can warmly recommend Nga.

    The simple life the people of the villages near the markets live, how they survive on the very basic life has to give. Exchanging raw produce from farms, loving on boats and only having river water to use for every day needs.
