Overall, this tour was a 5-star experience, exceptional thanks to the dedication and warmth of our guides.
Exemplary experience!

5.00The Mekong River was nothing short of wonderful. Our tour guide was not only funny and knowledgeable but also incredibly helpful throughout the entire two-day tour. Exploring the village on Coconut Island and navigating the canals left us in awe. However, the highlight had to be strolling through the local market in Can Tho, adjacent to the floating market. Moreover, the accommodations for our one-night hotel stay were exceptional—clean and conveniently located near the night markets in Can Tho. The fast WiFi was an added bonus, especially since I work remotely. Without hesitation, I would recommend this tour to a friend.
It's bittersweet to end this trip prematurely

5.00As we journeyed towards Chau Doc on the third day, we were treated to breathtaking views of lush rice paddies and verdant landscapes. Upon arrival, we embarked on a fascinating excursion to the Sam Mountain, where we admired ancient pagodas and panoramic vistas of the sprawling delta below. The tour concluded with a visit to a Cham minority village, where we learned about their rich cultural heritage and sampled unique delicacies.
