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!

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!
Exciting and educational. Great guide

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

5.00We had a very wonderful day. We visited the Floating Market, cruised through small canals, saw how rice noodles are made at a noodle factory, and finished with a visit to an organic cocoa farm where we learned about local chocolate production and tasted some delicious cocoa products. Our guide Sasa was truly excellent. She was friendly, knowledgeable, and spoke great English, helping us understand the local culture and daily life along the river. She made the experience engaging and personal, sharing insights, pointing out interesting details and making sure we had fun and great photos.
Unforgettable Experience in Can Tho!
