5.00The tour with our guide Sasa was unbeatable and wonderful. We enjoyed her storytelling; she knew so much that we couldn't believe it. She is a super kind and energetic person who is definitely in the right place and knows what she is doing. Thank you again so so so much for the amazing morning, all the information, for the fruit etc. We simply loved it and could not recommend it enough.
Great experience full of good mood, information and food for a good price

5.00Our guide Sasa was absolutely amazing! We were lucky enough to have the boat just for me and my girlfriend and one other person, which made the experience even better. Sasa took lots of photos of us and shared many interesting insights – not only about the floating market and the other stops, but she also happily answered many of our questions about Vietnam in general. We were offered delicious fruit on the boat, visited a local farm and several other attractions. This tour is definitely worth it. Many of the experiences are similar to those offered by other boats and tour groups, but when we looked around, the prices elsewhere were higher. Here, for a very reasonable price, you get truly great service which, in terms of content, is comparable to more expensive alternatives. Thanks to Sasa, it became an unforgettable experience with great atmosphere and one of the best days of our Vietnam trip so far. Trip was app 5 hours long.
Half a day on the river!

5.00A wonderful tour with Sasa! I really enjoyed this tour and really got a great insight on how the locals live on the Mekong river. Sasa was a great guide and answered all our questions. We had some Hue Tieu noodles (absolutely amazing) coffee on the boat. Followed by a visit to a local rice noodle factory where we got to see how it was made and we also had a go ourselves! We also visited a lovely cacao farm and got to try their delicious chocolate 🍫😍 Sasa also had loads of fruits to share and they were absolutely amazing! I really enjoyed the milk apple one! I highly recommend this tour. Thank you Sasa for such a lovely experience!
