5.00Enjoyed the whole experience! Breakfast on the floating market was delicious and we loved seeing all the different boats selling their wares. We even got to climb onto one of the boats and see how they live aboard. The noodle factory was a hands on experience and very interesting. We were able to take part in some of the steps in cooking, drying and cutting the noodles. Then we visited the cacao garden and were shown the steps in making chocolate. The iced chocolate drink was so good we had two! This is definitely a tour I would recommend you do when you visit Mekong Delta. Our guide Hannah was wonderful and we learned a lot about local life on the river.
Best trip of our holiday!
