Excellent - xuất sắc - We had a very fun day and individual trip in the Mekongdelta. Our guide Mariah is a wonderful, cheerful and communicative person! We learned a lot about the Cai Rang floating market and the daily life of Vietnamese people. The food on the tour was delicious - we started with noodle soup at the floating market, ate lots and lots of tropical fruits during the day and had an authentic Vietnamese lunch at a local restaurant. The dishes Mariah picked for us were excellent - xuất sắc! ;-)
We also got the chance to visit a local fruit garden spontaneously, only because Mariah started to chat with the owner, who invited us then.
The boat trip through the Nature Reserve was very private. It was just us, no other tourists. Overall, we had a wonderful day!

Amazing day exploring Meckong Delta with a local guide - We had a great day with a local guide David, very itelligent, knowledgeable and passionate about his country culture, traditions and nature.
We visited floating market, tried authentic food and coffee, met local people and were even invited to one of the boats.
We also tried ourselves in making rice noodles, had a boat ride in a nature reserve and had a tasty lunch at a local restaurant.
The tour was not touristic, we rather felt visiting a local friend of ours.
Thank you David🙂

Had a great day exploring Mekong Delta! - We had an amazing day with our tour guide David in the Mekong Delta. He was very enthusiastic, friendly and knowledgeable about this area (his home!). We visited the Cairang floating markets, a rice noodle workshop, the smaller canals of the Mekong Delta, the Mua Xuang nature reserve and a local restaurant. The places we went to didn’t feel too touristy at all, e.g. we were pretty much the only ones at Mua Xuang nature reserve (also shoutout to the park ranger who navigated us through the waterways and provided us with fresh fruits straight from the forest). Overall we can highly recommend this tour, it felt very authentic and, for us, every dollar was well spent!

The highlight of this trip was our amazing and well prepared guide Mariah who gave us so many information about Vietnam and his culture. We also stopped at a nice temple of Ba Chua on the road to the forest! We highly recommend her

Lovely tour and tour guide - David is an amazing Tour Guide! His English is very good, so we could ask a lot of things that we saw. Like what kind of fruits we saw, the traditions here etc. We started in the morning with the floating market tour in Can Tho and in the afternoon we went with a boat through a national park. At a short break we ate lovely fruits he brought with him.
