カイラン水上マーケットとHCMCからのメコンデルタプライベートツアー

The tour was pretty amazing, we were quite sceptical of the price at first as there were many other tours a lot cheaper, however this is a completely private tour of both the floating market (at peak time) and Ben Tre coconut forests along with the obvious row boat along the mekong plantations with hat included. It is worth it as there are many other interesting things to see in between that are not mentioned on itinerary...with lots tastings/samples. The endless amounts of fruit and shot of snake venom spirit was a particular highlight. Our quide Phong was fantastic and very enthusiastic about is job and no question went unanswered, even with an hours delay d/t traffic he still made sure we saw everything.....ask for him would be my advise.

We were picked up by Fong at 4am in order to make it to the Floating Market by 7am. From the time we got to the boat to the end of our trip nearly 8 hours later, we had the most amazing time! We had a wonderful breakfast at a local restaurant on the river, had fresh pineapple from a merchant boat, rode bikes through Ben Tre, visited a coconut candy factory, rice paper factory, brick factory, learned how to climb coconut trees (while others laid in hammocks enjoying fresh coconuts :) ) and enjoyed another wonderful meal at a local restaurant in Ben Tre. The tour was amazing and worth every penny. Our whole group marveled at the lack of tourists we saw during our tour. This was a real authentic experience! I would recommend Fong if you choose this tour. He is so sweet and informative. Thank you, Fong!

<p>All in all the tour was fun. The Cai Rang floating market part was great and is highly recommended even if it is a long drive to get there. The Ben Tre part was much more touristy and fun but not outstanding. The cycling was not nearly the 15 km advertised must have been more like 2-3 km, there was no coconut tree climbing, no pottery shop etc. Also the ride in the Sampan was very short must have been 10 minutes. The guides English could have been better, although he was very nice. Altogether still recommended especially because of the Cai Rang part which very few other tours offer.</p>
