Nice tour with a lovely tour guide!!!

We were the only two people on the boat and Quyen took care of us. She did an outstanding job in giving us all the information about Can Tho and the floating market and made sure we were always well fed 😊 it was really nice trip and I would recommend it to every friend and family member

Cannot miss this tour when visiting the Mekong Delta!

I've done this tour over and over because I enjoy it so much. Most of the times I've done the tour is part of a larger open tour group. But have done the private tour twice, which I prefer. This year I had some family with me and they really enjoyed it as well. Our guide Phong was very helpful and friendly. He helped me before the tour by assisting with confirming w dinner reservation and after the tour with providing some local recommendations for dining and shopping. I also wanted to visit a specific noodle factory, which he was glad to accommodate. The breakfast on the boat was amazing. The banh mi, probably the freshest bread I've had. The Hu Tiêu was very good!! As was the Cà Phê Sữa Đá When I return, I'll be sure to request Phong specifically as my guide. The boat driver Min, was also very lovely and was delighted to have her as our boat operator. Highly recommend this tour.

Best tour I've ever been on. Can ot recommend higher

Antran is such an incredible person! I had a few tours in Vietnam but this was by far the best one. She is knowledgeable, funny, and this was an absolute highlight of our trip. If you're thinking about doing the floating market I highly highly recommend using her and the tour is great. The markets won't be around forever sadly.

Great and educational Mekong tour

After being picked up at the hotel at 5.30am we could see the sunrise from the motorboat on our way to the Floating Market in Cai Rong. Of course, some tourist boats are on the way, but mostly locals were on their small and inhabited boats to buy and sell goods. Thanks to the interesting explanations and stories of our very competent guide An we got a good insight about life on/on the river! During our stops on the Mekong as well as later ashore in a cocoa plantation there were various tastings: Soup, juice, tea, coffee, dried fish/frog, homemade noodles, fruit as well as cocoa and chocolate. An all around great trip with a nice group and An, our great travel companion!

I had a great time <3

I had a great time with Trinh. She gave me lots of information about the surroundings and recommendations about food tasting. We first went to the swimming market and had some soup, then we went to a canal and in the end we saw a beautiful garden with many fruits. In the end Tàm the boat driver gave me some self made presents. I really enjoyed the time and recommend it to anyone who likes the tour more private. Thank you for the experience

Excellent tour of the Floating Market, noodle making and fruit farm

We really enjoyed our tour today. The tour guide was excellent, she spoke well and was informative. The Cai Rang Floating Market was OK but don’t expect much. Most of the floating markets in Asia seem to have devolved into tourist areas rather than their original main function, and it appeared to be way more tourist boats than vendor boats, like 5:1. But at least we got to experience it, and have a nice breakfast of pho on our boat from one of the floating vendors. The noodle factory was more interesting. It was interesting seeing the oven they use to burn rice husks to cook the dough. And it was fun to see it put through a shredder to make the little noodles. There was a relaxing journey down small waterways to the fruit farm. This was nice as well, and there were different varieties of tropical fruits growing here. They had some Vietnamese singers / musicians at the end while we ate fresh fruit who were talented. And it was very relaxing. Overall the tour was good, worth it. Just don’t expect a lot from the Floating Market as those bustling days are long gone, and what remains is only surviving for tourists to see.
