Would definitely recommend! - Our family had a great time on this tour with our guide Ngan. Ngan made her way to us, picking us up in our boat at the rear of our accommodation at Can Tho Ecolodge, which meant we didn’t have to make our way into the city so early! Ngan was extremely knowledgeable and lovely. Amazing way to see, learn and engage in the way of life of the locals who live and work on the Mekong Delta. Would definitely recommend.

Beautiful morning tour, local and fresh! - Our guide Mariah was a great guide. She explained a lot about the life on the Mekong delta, showed us around the local market and the floating market, followed by visits to local farms. All accompanied by super fresh and delicious food. Everything felt beautiful, and not touristy.

Great experience - I went on the trip with Tran, I am a solo female traveling by myself. Tran was great, she shared a lot of history and we had many conversations about life and our own different cultures. I learned a lot about life in Can Tho and can highly recommend!!

Fabulous tour with Mariah - Mariah was an amazing guide during our tour of the floating market and the mekong delta river system. It was a great tour and we learned a lot from her about the floating market and delta and how they’ve changed over the last decade. We ate breakfast on the boat, stopped at a rice noodle making family (all done by hand and we even got to try part of the process too) and a cocoa farm. It was fascinating to learn about the Mekong Delta economy and how things are made, bought, and sold. Mariah is a superstar and we highly recommend a tour with her.

Out of your floating Point of Sale. - Nice trip for which we had to get up early. First to Floating Point of Sale, which unfortunately was less crowded. Our Guide, Ngan, is a friendly and cheerful lady who connects easily, also with the locals and enthusiastically shares her knowledge. Especially about the tropical fruit and the production of noodles and cocoa.
