A superbly well run tour that you won't regret doing - This is an exceptional tour. Our guide Ngan was punctual and great company to spend the day with. It felt like being shown around by a friend who kept us well informed, well fed and hydrated. My wife and I were the only guests and given the VIP treatment. Whilst touring the floating market we were treated to Vietnamese ice coffee, freshly squeezed orange juice, Pho noodles, pineapples and passionfruit (boarded a pineapple vendor's boat), rambutans and milk apples. We then toured some small canals and given a private tour on how rice noodles were made and even got to try a few tasks. We were driven by private car to the nature reserve for a separate boat ride through the floating plants and climbing a lookout tower for some panoramic views. Treated to fresh coconut juice, mangoes and fried banana. The restaurant at the reserve was busy so we decided to go eat Banh Xeo and Banh Khot at a local restaurant before being dropped back at our hotel. What a great way to finish a superb day. Just do it!

Unforgettable excursion - It is a unique and incredible experience because it exceeds our imagination, the floating market that symbolizes trade, today for example fruits like pineapples, all those people who open their boats to you and share drinks and fruits then sneak into the canals through a rice dough factory and end up in the beautiful nature reserve of Lung Ngoc Hoang and especially a big thank you to Chris for his professionalism, his extreme kindness and dedication, I highly recommend Thank you Chris!!!

Amazing experience with knowledgeable guide - We had an amazing day being shown around by Ngân. We started our morning with being picked up and heading to the floating market. The boat ride was very comfortable and Ngân told us about the different produce, people and history of the market. We got to taste some of the different fruit and enjoyed a lovely bowl of noodle soup on the river. After we headed to a local rice noodle factory where we got to see the process of creating the rice noodles and the people behind it. Again Ngân was very helpful with any questions we had and even let us be part of the noodle process briefly. After this we cruised the river for a while longer and then jumped in our ride to the nature reserve. The ride took about an hour and was very comfortable. We arrived to a beautiful location full of plant life and a couple ducks. We proceeded with a small boat in the nature reserve and observed the serene water system, rice fields, different plants and birds. We really enjoyed the tranquility of the nature reserve and the boat ride. We then enjoyed a very delicious local lunch with different vegetables, spring rolls and delicious fruit before heading back to Can Tho. All in all we had an absolutely lovely tour with a absolutely lovely and knowledgeable guide. We would recommend this tour to anyone looking for an authentic and local experience

Incredible nature and cultural experience - We recently joined the tour offered by Mekong Realism, and it exceeded all our expectations! From start to finish, the entire journey was beautifully organized, offering a perfect mix of breathtaking nature and vibrant local culture.
The visit to the nature reserve was a highlight, as we were surrounded by stunning landscapes and had the chance to see unique wildlife up close. It felt so peaceful, and Ngân, our guide, was incredibly knowledgeable about the ecosystem.
The floating market experience was truly unforgettable. Witnessing the bustling trade on the river was fascinating, and we loved interacting with the local vendors.
This tour is a must for anyone visiting the Mekong Delta and is short on time — it’s an enriching, fun, and unforgettable way to experience the beauty and heart of this amazing region. Highly recommended!

Amazing tour in Mekong Delta - Amazing experience with a delicious breakfast at the floating market. We had coffee, rice noodle soup and pineapple as desert from different boats. Super friendly people! Afterwards, we went to the local rice noodle factory.
Final stop was the nature reserve with a picturesque landscape and rice fields. We saw many different birds while cruising through the tiny natural channels. We ended with an authentic local lunch which was very good - no issue to order vegetarian option.
Transfer via boat and car was super smooth.
In a nutshell we had a great time with our tour guide Ngan. She was super kind - explained everything and took wonderful pictures from us. Can’t recommend this tour enough.

Highly recommended! - We had a great day and a lot of fun! The full day is perfectly organized and everything went so smooth. We visited a lot of places, and even had the feeling of being off the “standard tourist tracks”. You’re going to spend a lot of time on boats - so bring your sea sickness pills if you struggle with this. Amazing breakfast, snacks, and lunch! To our super lovely and experienced guide Ngan: Thank you a lot! We highly recommend this trip.
