5.00This trip has been my best experience in Vietnam so far! Sasa is an amazing guide and such a kind, passionate person. She truly loves what she does, and it shows in every detail. She went above and beyond to make our trip both exciting and comfortable. Her knowledge of Can Tho is impressive, and she thoughtfully adjusted the trip plan to fit our needs perfectly. Memories of today will stay with me forever! Cảm ơn!
Quality local Vietnamese experience.

5.00Amazing experience, made possible by kind and friendly people. Our tour guide Sasa had a lot of passion, wide knowledge and fluent, communicative english speaking skills. She created a very enjoyable and friendly atmosphere. We were able to see the floating market, local noodle and cocoa factories (we were able to buy something for ourselves there), and much more in approximetly 5-6 hours. I highly recommend the whole experience and Sasa as a tour guide. Much quality for a really low price.
Brilliant!!

5.00We had a great day with Hannah! She gave us lots of very interesting explanations about the Mekong River and how all this trade was going before! We had a good chat about Vietnam and we really loved it! The noodle breakfast was very good 🍜 Hannah is charming and adorable ☺️ The activities are top and in addition we discover family businesses settled for a long time, we don't think of all this work behind when eating noodles or chocolate!! Cam onnn I recommend 100%

5.00🌟 An unforgettable excursion thanks to our extraordinary Sasa! From the first minute we were welcomed with a warmth that goes far beyond the usual. Our guide Sasa was not only well prepared and professionally competent, but above all a person with a big heart. With a lot of warmth, humour and attention she made sure that every participant felt welcome. Her ability to create an atmosphere where you felt like you were among friends was particularly impressive. We have never been to Vietnam before and have had a wonderful impression of the mentality, customs and everyday life on the Mekong. It wasn’t just a trip – it was an experience full of hospitality and real connection. We are grateful for this special encounter and can wholeheartedly recommend this trip. If you not only want to discover sights, but also to experience genuine warmth, this is the right place!
Highly recommend this Mekong tour!

5.00Me and my friend were a bit worried about finding a good and real tour, because we heard there are many scams around. But this one was real, safe, and very well organized! Everything went smoothly from the beginning to the end. The boat ride, the floating market, and the small canals were amazing and peaceful. We really enjoyed every moment. Our guide Sasa was the best — very friendly, smart, and spoke excellent English. She told many interesting stories and made us feel very comfortable during the whole trip. If you book this tour, I really recommend asking for Sasa as your guide. She made our day very special and unforgettable!
Authentic experience!!

5.00This experience was memorable!!! Our guide Sasa is kind! She is very competent on many subjects that concern Vietnam which guarantees an authentic experience! There were only 6 of us, we could ask our questions in a small boat not touristic like the others we saw on the floating market! You will discover the market but also a noddle factory and a local cocoa eco-farm. In addition you can participate Great experience
Great time
