Best trip we took in Vietnam! Grace was the best guide
Huong or Grace in English is amazing! This tour was truly the most positive surprize ever. As we did not expect alot from a tourist attraction but it was the best thing we experienced in Vietnam. 🇻🇳 Grace was so motivated light spirited and warm hearted. She explained more we could even imagine. She even helped with all our questions and I feel we really arrived now in Vietnam. Captain T was also a sweetheart. So patient and friendly. We had the best noodle soup ever, we are vegetarians and it was sooo yummy! I am speechless on many levels. We could see how a family lives on a house boat with their many pets and had fruits at their house. Dont skip this trip and especially ask for Grace!

Floating fabulous market
Vi was an amazing tour guide. We learnt so much. Was worth the early wake up! She was super friendly and knowledgeable.

Amazing Mekong Delta
Worth every penny, highly recommended. Thuy Tien (Jessica) our guide shared her culture and knowledge of the Mekong area. We enjoyed our morning coffee and breakfast on the water. Going to see the noodle factory and orchard was especially educating. I would book with their company again
C
Great experience
The tour was four hours, and our group agreed that our tour guide was excellent and that the tour itself was a fun and interesting introduction to Vietnamese culture in the Mekong Delta. We definitely recommend it!
B
Superb Mekong tour
Top-notch experience on the Mekong. The guide was really very good.
E
Awesome. Worth the 5:30 start. Thank you Vy
Vy was an excellent guide. We learnt so much about the area and the market. The life on the river, the food. We had coffee, breakfast and plenty of fruit snacks. If you only do one thing in Can Tho make sure you do this. The private tour was the real way to experience it all
B
Wonderful excursion to the floating market in the Mekong Delta
Huong was very communicative and showed and explained everything to us. It was very nice to talk to her and she gave us many insights into daily life in the Mekong Delta. It was a relaxed atmosphere with lots of humor and fun. Keep it up!!
C
The best tour in Can Tho!
Huong is a very good guide. She told us a lot about the locals and their traditions. We were able to gain insights into the life of a family on the water and were able to see and experience the craft of noodle making. Thank you very much for the great experience!
