We will then cruise into the jungle through small, yet complex canal systems, which provide a serene home to diverse flora and fauna. Allow yourself time to relax and meditate on this tranquil part of the trip.
Next on our trip is a visit to an organic cocoa farm. The owner’s father brought the plants back from a trip to Malaysia in 1960, introducing an extremely different crop to the region. All handmade and processed, these chocolate goods are a labour of love for this family.We will also explore a four-decade old noodle village and participate in the making of rice noodles the traditional way.

Super! - This was a very nice tour, complete with all the high lights from the area! A spontaneous karaoke session on the way made it complete😆 We are very well taken care of with pho, fruit and drinks! Trena has shared a lot of knowledge about the area, but also about the history of Vietnam with us. Highly recommended!

Floating Market Tour - This was a great tour for our family. It gave us a really good insight as to how the food traders live and we loved being able to taste their produce (which was delicious) and even see inside one of their homes. We visited a family noodle farm as well as a family owned organic cocoa farm which were really interesting. Thank you to Mariah for being such a wonderful tour guide. We’d highly recommend this tour for anyone travelling to Can Tho.

Beautiful, insightful and delicious - Our tour with Mariah was an unforgettable journey into the heart of Vietnamese culture and the Mekong Delta. Mariah’s extensive knowledge and passion for her country truly shone throughout the tour, making it both educational and enjoyable. Mariah shared fascinating insights into Vietnamese culture, architecture, and the daily lives of the people living and working around the Mekong Delta. Her storytelling brought the history and traditions of the area to life, enriching our understanding and appreciation of this beautiful region. We visited a variety of fascinating places, including a rice noodle factory and a cocoa farm, where we got to try some chocolate. The tour of the floating markets was a highlight, offering a vibrant and colorful glimpse into local commerce. One of the most enjoyable parts of the tour was floating on the smaller, hidden canals, which provided a peaceful and intimate view of the Mekong Delta's natural beauty. Mariah’s expertise and friendly demeanor made the tour exceptionally enjoyable. She ensured we had a well-rounded experience, covering all aspects of the region’s culture and economy.

Great tour of the floating market - and much more - Great experience of the Can Tho area - from the floating market, the “dry” market, the jungle-like sensation of the small canals, making nudels and the making of chocolate. A great tour for our family - thanks for taking us, Nga.

As above - A lovely half day tour. Our guides Trena and Ngan were very knowledgeable and friendly. The floating market was fun with some nice noodle soup for lunch . Vegetarians were catered for. We got to try various Vietnamese fruits. We also had a go at making rice noodles and visited a small organic cocoa factory. A great experience- such a shame about all the litter in the river.
