5.00This was a great experience. Everything was interesting and staff did an exceptional job. The accommodation was better than we had imagined, as the town is more like a city.

5.00We were lucky to come across a very humorous guide, Jimmy the 10. Visits and activities follow each other in a fairly rhythmic way, but we get to see a lot of things. The minibus is very clean and comfortable, and the driver careful. The hotel in Can Tho is very basic, but clean. For the price, we can’t expect more. All the agencies offer more or less the same route, we find the different groups at the different stopping points. For our part, we were lucky to be in a “small” group (8 people) and we had great meetings.
Great tour !

5.00The Two Day Cai Rang Floating Market and Mekong Delta from Ho Chi Minh City Tour is incredible! Our tour guide, Kim Sa Va Ry, speaks many languages impressively and communicates very well with our multilingual group. He is also really knowledgeable about the region and gave us insights we would have never had on our own. For example, he came prepared with maps of the full Mekong River and a close-up of the Mekong Delta in Vietnam so we could have a context. When he took us around to the different islands, he not only showed us how the people made coconut candy and noodles, but he also allowed us to try it ourselves! He was able to answer every question I had as if he memorized the encyclopedia, but he also gave a deeper and personal perspective making this tour truly unique. He was very mindful of the group's needs and appropriately scheduled time to rest, eat, and go to the bathroom. The driver was also very kind and accommodating and I loved talking to him when we were on the road. Personally, because of my faith, I do not like going to see the pagodas. But thankfully we had the choice not to participate. I really appreciated how respectful everyone was. What I value most about this tour is that it allows tourists to see a community in Vietnam that they may not get to see. For example, when we were in the Cai Rang Floating Market, we were welcomed onto a woman's boat to eat fresh fruit and we got to see how she lives and makes her living on the boat. Tour gives you time to shop and buy from the locals to support the economy. Finally, our group got to take a cooking class to learn how to make Bánh Xèo (Vietnamese pancakes) from a local. Overall, I thought this was a wonderful experience.
Awesome experience!
