ThanThank you, Henry, for a lovely morning. The tour was fantastic and covered everything I wanted to see. Henry was a great guide, showing us the Floating Market. Breakfast was delicious, and we even visited a local family’s rice noodle business. A great morning on the Mekong River. Highly recommended.

The floating market trip really interesting and informative, and excellent value for money as you get Vietnamese coffee, breakfast and fruit platter all included from different boats ! Jane is an excellent guide, she studied english linguistics and her english is excellent and can answer any questions you have, and makes the trip worthwhile with her humour and good attitude to tourism!

It was a very uniquely different experience for us. The boat ride on a wooden boat to the market along the tributary of the Mekong river, having to experience partial sunrise. And to savour the sights, sounds and smells of the living boat life and floating market is one of the highlights of this region. Our guide, Phoenix was punctual, shared a lot about the contextual aspects of life, food, culture. We really enjoyed ourselves and recommend this trip!

Phoenix from floating market tour was an amazing host and guide. He spoke great English which helped us understand all the local customs and traditions. I’ve seen this many times on documentaries and Instagram but to experience it in person especially with such a knowledgeable guide was a bucket list moment in time. Highly recommended
