Sealed water market, river powder workshop and cocoa farm
My guide is Mai, very carefully introducing the traditional water market of celery, river powder workshops and cocoa farms, in the process of helping to take photos and recording activities will also chat with everyone, very dedicated.
Q
Beautiful excursion for a glimpse of the Mekong.
Very beautiful excursion with our guide Mai, who was very friendly, spoke English very well, and gave us interesting explanations.
E
Floating market and immersive trip in the nature with breakfast and lunch
The overall tour was a great dive into the floating market with many details about the production of local products as well as the life of traders and farmers. The tour also got us to the Mekong delta canals and natural reserve on boats and it was a very immersive experience of Vietnamese jungle. Trang was an excellent guide, she loves her job as much as her country and it shows, she is very knowledgeable and explains very well.

Great tour!
Great tour with Clara! Very knowlegeable and enthousiastic, great conversationalist! She was eager to answer all our questions even those not related to the tour.
C
THIS is the PICS you see of Vietnam! Learned/experienced tons! Mai shared lots of PICS after too!
This was the BEST tour we took in south east Asia (we’ve been here a month!) all because of Mai! She was so energetic and knowledgeable and great with English. She added so many details and extras to the tour! We got ten times what we expected. We were very well fed too!

Hands down the best tour! Mai was absolutely incredible! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
We did the River Market and Reserve tour today, and it was the highlight of our trip. Our guide, Mai, was absolutely incredible from start to finish. She was so cheery, energetic, and made the entire experience deeply engaging for everyone. Mai taught us so much about the Mekong Delta, sharing fascinating insights with so much passion. If you are booking a tour, look for Mai, she is truly the best!
R
A must in the Mekong Delta.
Very exciting and educational tour, where you get a good insight into how the local merchants live. Also a nice experience-rich trip to the nature area through exciting and beautiful canals that end with a lovely lunch. Our local guide Ruby was absolutely fantastic in telling you about both the area, the local culture and fauna.

Wonderful day
A wonderful day with our guide Mai, which was perfect. Family of 2 adults and 2 children, the excursion was adapted, interesting and rewarding. It was great. I highly recommend it.
