5.00Trang and her boat captain gave us a wonderful experience and I can truly recommend it. We realize that we never really knew what cocoa is until now😋

5.00This tour really made our stay memorable in Can Tho. The breakfast soup and fruit you eat on the boat were all delicious. We had a group size of 4 which made it a really fun and intimate experience. Our tour guide Mariah was lovely, she helped us learn a lot about the culture on the Mekong and even continued giving us recommendations for food and activities after the tour. The tour was well worth the premium price relative to finding a water taxi by the river. Highly recommended.

5.00Ruby was our fantastic guide for a couple of hours. She picked us up very early by boat and made my husband and me enjoy a very authentic experience with amazing insights and endless good foods and drinks, everything included in the prize. I absolutely recommend this tour as well as the lovely guide.
Ruby is the best !

5.00We had a very nice tour with a singing boatman and our great tourguide Ruby. She spoke passionate about Vietnam and the Melong Delta. We learned a lot and it was the best tour we had so far.

5.00Very nice excursion and especially very well organized. The guide was perfect. We had a very pleasant time. And breakfast on the Mekong was an excellent passage, especially since the pho was delicious. An outing you can't miss.
