Excellent experience of real life on the river

5.00Clara was an amazing tour guide and Auntie 7 steered our boat expertly. Clara shared so many stories with us and experiences of life in Con Dao and on the river and of the history of the area; it made for a really memorable experience. As well as an excellent breakfast of noodles and coffee on the river Clara showed us how the people live their daily lives and we met a family who still live on the river. My husband and I would highly recommend it.
A must do, highly recommended tour of the waterways.

5.00A must do, highly recommended tour of the waterways. Great experiences along the way including a tour of a water based homestead, drinks, fresh noodle dishes and amazing fresh fruits. The noodle and cacao factories were fantastic and be prepared to get hands on! A special mention to our kind and friendly guide Sasa, her local knowledge and enthusiastic personality made the trip all the more enjoyable.

5.00The experience was amazing. Tour is very complete, was almost privated, just three people and guia tour. The place that your visit don't have a lot of turism and y it was a real experience visiting floating market, canals and local places. Before doing the tour, the contact with company was fluent, always avaiable for us in different things that we ask or help that we need. Our guia Thuỷ is super kind, telling us many interesting thing during the tour, not jist for the things that we were wathching, also about style life in Vietnam. Her English is really good. I really totatily recommened her and this tour.

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!

5.00This tour was one of the highlights of our trip! Everything was very well organized from pickup to drop-off. Our guide, Sasa, was very friendly and knowledgeable, and shared lots of interesting stories and history about the floating market, rice noodle factory, and cocoa farm. The boat ride was peaceful and scenic, and it was fascinating to see how people live along the river. I would highly recommend this trip — and especially our guide Sasa — to anyone who wants to explore the Mekong Delta area!
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!!
