5.00We had an amazing time with Mariah (she has a perfect english !). We were a small group of 5. We visited the floating market and had a very good breakfast on the boat 😍 then learned a lot about cocoa and visited the Mekong delta. I really recommend this experience. It is also vegetarian friendly 😉
Great tour with our young family

5.00Our guide, Thuy, made our day truly special by taking us out on the river and explaining the sights we visited and giving insight into Vietnamese history, culture and modern life. Our highlights were the morning markets, floating markets, local coffee, noodle breakfast. She took a lot of time to show and explain the manufacturing process on both cocoa and noodles. In addition, we got to see and taste new and exciting fruits we don’t know in Denmark. Thanks to Thuy for a fantastic day
Amazing experience

5.00Thank you Sasa for an amazing tour! Your careful planning and detailed explanations really helped us experience the best of Can Tho. Sasa was not only a great tour guide but an incredible photographer! She knew a lot about the place and shared her fun facts with us, and was very sweet. We loved the noodles and fresh fruit too! Hope to see you again!
Wonderful tour

5.00Thanks to Sasa, we had a wonderful time at the floating market and small canals. She helped us plan everything from arrival to departure to maximise our limited time and experience the most important aspects of Can Tho, all with a smile. We felt entirely taken care of and really enjoyed the tour. Thanks again, we hope to see you soon!
Amazing experience with our tour guide Hannah!

5.00Visiting the floating market in the Mekong Delta, Cần Thơ, was a truly memorable experience. The lively atmosphere, colorful boats filled with fresh fruits, and friendly local vendors made the early morning visit feel magical. Drifting along the river while watching daily life unfold was both peaceful and fascinating. It’s a wonderful way to experience local culture, taste delicious tropical fruits, and see the heart of the Mekong Delta in action. Highly recommended for anyone visiting southern Vietnam!
Beautiful experience

5.00Our guide Clara took us on an educational trip out on the Mekong. She has grown up in the area and knows really much!! We got delicious food and coffee and fruit. Visited a cocoa plantation. Very exciting. And also a smaller noodle business. Clara also took us aboard a local family. Very interesting. All in all a really good and educational trip. The only downside is that something really needs to be done about the challenge of garbage in the river! But Clara gets our best recommendation 🙏
Unforgettable day
