Great tour with Ruby

5.00Our guide Ruby made our sunrise tour to the floating markets a really wonderful experience. We booked a private tour because we wanted to focus only on the floating markets and the small canals. All of our wishes were considered during the booking process and everything was exactly as we had hoped on the day of the tour. Before going to the floating markets, we made a short stop at the land market and got some fruit to enjoy later on the boat. During the tour, we also received a drink, a tasty breakfast soup, and fresh pineapple while being on the water. We had plenty of time at the floating markets and in the smaller canals, which made the whole experience feel very authentic. Ruby was very sweet and fun, shared a lot of interesting information, and took great photos of us. 😉 A special thanks as well to our captain, who was always friendly and drove the boat safely the entire time. We would highly recommend the tour.

5.0010/10 tour. Already at the meeting at the market I felt in good hands. Hannah designed the tour with so much heart, knowledge and enthusiasm that every moment was special. The insights into life on the floating markets, the visit of the old trading boat and the delicious breakfast on the water were real highlights. The drive through the calmer canals with their lush plant life was also beautiful. I especially loved how much effort Hannah put in – with exciting background information, patience and even full commitment as a photographer. The stops at the cocoa plantation and the pasta factory have rounded off the experience perfectly. So Tour would definitely recommend you. Here you can have a great experience in Vietnam while supporting a small motivated team!

1/2 day on the Mekong

4.00Ruby was adorable throughout the visit. Clearly explained, she answered all the questions. The morning was pleasant, visit the land market then floating with tasting full of fruits and a very good soup. Visit the cocoa farm and the noodle factory. Very interesting. I removed a star because of the pollution that is impressive and would need to be really taken seriously by the Vietnamese people.
