5.00We had a wonderful experience on the Mekong Floating Market tour! Everything was well organized from beginning to end. Our guide, RUBY, was incredibly kind, friendly, and helpful. She made sure everyone felt comfortable and truly enjoyed the trip. Seeing the Floating Market early in the morning was a very special experience. The atmosphere on the river, the boats full of fresh fruits, vegetables, and local food, and the beautiful scenery made it all unforgettable. We also loved learning more about local life along the Mekong and how people trade and live on the water. During the tour we also visited a rice noodle making place where we could try how the traditional rice noodles are made. In addition, we went to a cacao farm where we could admire how cacao beans are processed from harvest to production. Everyone we met during the tour was kind and smiling, which made the whole experience even more special. If you visit the Mekong Delta, this program is definitely something you shouldn’t miss! We highly recommend both the tour and RUBY as a guide! ⭐
