Cai Rang flytande marknad – cykla, laga mat och väv Mekong

Change the title because there was no bike or cooking class. Fortunately the ride on the river was great , our Phong Guide was really nice as well as Nhi who piloted the boat. Discovery of the interesting Noodles and orchards factory Rather Floating market and tasting would be more appropriate..

We only had a short time in HCMC, so we decided to do this tour in one day to explore the floating markets and the Mekong delta. We were picked up from HCMC and everything from booking to the trip itself went very smoothly. Especially our guide Trinh made the day special! We learned so much and she made it very fun! Thank you for the great tour!

It was a beautiful day with many different places, experiences and a very good guide! She took a lot of pictures of us and sent them to us, great!

Overall, a nice experience and slow ride down the river to see (mainly) Phong Dien and Cai Rang market. Phong Dien was a small market of less than 10 boats. But what it lacks in scale was made up for by the authentic environment. In some ways, it is rather sad and you wonder how long this market will survive. Catch it before it is gone forever! Cai Rang, was much bigger, and wasn’t that crowded when we arrived. Though there were many boats selling coffee and breakfast to cater to the tourists, there were still whole-sellers here paddling their wares. We also had tea and fruits on one ò the boats. We also visited a noodle making factory and a small fruit garden/farm. Interesting but not the highlight. Nga is a good guide that takes care of you. Overall, a good experience and (in my view) worth the effort to get wake up at 4am. If I can make a suggestion, I would say to take the car to Phong Dien before making the way down the river by boat. You will miss the sights in the morning of people getting ready but could get more sleep.

The organizer got confused hiking and only took us to Cai Rang Market, not Phong Dien Market. He gave us a partial refund of 57€ for having been wrong. But the opportunity to visit the 2 markets and lost time is not returned by anyone... I do not recommend it

It was a very nice tour overall. Especially our guide Nhung was very nice and gave and many explanations about the country and people in very good English. The tour can definitely be highly recommended.

We had a great time with Phong. We really appreciated his kindness and patience in explaining the history of the area and its culture. A very good fruit tasting awaits you with him! I highly recommend

We had a great experience. This tour requires you to wake up earlier than most, but it's definitely worth it. You get to see the sunrise over the Mekong River and the floating market.

If you want to experience the true spirit of the Mekong, Phong is the perfect guide! With passion and warmth, he took us through the floating markets of Cai Rang and Phong Dien, immersing us in local flavors and daily life. The visit to the noodle factory was unforgettabl! We watched the traditional process and tasted incredibly fresh noodles. And the fruit? We enjoyed mango and pineapple, freshly picked, sweet, and juicy. With fascinating stories and breathtaking landscapes, Phong made this tour truly special. If you're in south Vietnam, you can't miss it!

This trip was just what we hoped for visiting the quieter Phong Dien Market first at sunrise, seeing the local ladies on their boats selling their produce. We were able to take many photos of the authentic setting without being obscured by other tourists in bright orange life jackets. Tasty breakfast of noodles overlooking the river and we tried many local fruits. Phong was a great guide and Meen(?) a skillful skipper. We helped make noodles and tried a plateful. The last stop was Cai Ráng market where we were still able to appreciate the market after the majority of other tourists had left.
