Wonderful - This tour was worth every penny! We left our hotel around 4:30 am and arrived at the market by 6:45 am - early enough to experience the market while it was still bustling. Our tour guide Max was incredible! We had some noodles for breakfast and then were welcomed onto one of the houseboats for some fresh fruit and tea. The bike ride along the canal gives you a taste of the rural village experience. The lunch was one of the best meals we’ve had! We made it back to Saigon early and beat the big tour bus traffic. This is the only way to go experience the delta if you are limited on time but still want an authentic experience. 10/10 would recommend!

Unforgettable experiences on this floating markets tour - My family and I loved this tour. Our guide, Max, was a wealth of knowledge on Vietnamese history and the local culture. Highlights of this 11-hour tour included a boat ride through the floating market, a lesson in making rice noodles, and a bike ride around a local village. As hoped, the food was also a treat — beef noodle soup for breakfast, fresh pineapple from a market vendor, and lunch at the village that included elephant fish and wonderful fresh produce. Thank you Max for making this an unforgettable chapter of our trip to Ho Chi Minh City.

Not worth the money - An extremely expensive experience for what it was. The overview mentioned we would be back by 5pm but we were back at 2pm! The guide had basic historic knowledge and we didn’t connect. He was kind but quite uninspiring. The car was comfortable but air con was too cold and instead of lowering the air con the guide and driver seemed to make fun of the fact that we were cold. Best part of this experience was the cycling tour in the village, that is exactly the only thing that made the trip worth it and we thoroughly enjoyed that. The floating market was a cringy touristic experience. The market doesn’t function for the locals anymore, so they only run it for tourists and there weren’t many boats (at least at the time that we arrived, around 7-7:30). Lunch was more than we expected, and ok taste-wise, the fried fish was interesting but we were unpleasantly surprised that we were charged extra for the 2 beers we drank! That’s ridiculous if you think that we paid 135€ each for this. We were happy to experience the village but generally it really wasn’t worth it. We’re sorry to have to leave a bad review but we must be honest.
