An absolute dream - Amazing!! Such a beautiful way to spend the morning. Seeing the sun rise over the Mekong Delta was worth the early start and Thinh our guide was just so sweet and thoughtful. The floating markets are not to be missed and we got to see and do so much in just a few hours. There was a perfect mixture of busy and quiet areas and we got to try delicious pho and iced cacao drink as well as try out making rice noodles. Overall a perfect experience and could not recommend highly enough. Thank you so much Thinh for looking after us

Made a full day of it by adding on a tour of the Lung ngọc hoàng nature reserve - We selected the "small group bus" and we're presently surprised to find it was a private tour for the 3 of us. We were picked up in a very comfortable and well air-conditioned small suv. Our tour guilds were very knowledgeable and friendly throughout the day. We added on the additional tour option for the Lung ngọc hoàng nature preserve, that was very beautiful. It was great to get out of the the city!

We couldnt wipe the smiles off our faces - An awesome experience made even better thanks to our guide Daisy. Getting to be amongst the history and culture specific to the floating markets was eye opening and exciting. Floating along, and pulling up to another small boat for a delicious fresh hot breakfast prepared right there, I was giddy. Taking in the sights, and being welcomed onto a lovely family's boat for tea and fresh fruit, what an honour. Just that alone would've been enough for us, but we got to follow up with visiting the local rice noodle business, and dabbled in making rice noodles. The staff make the experience fun, we laughed a lot. The cacao farm was awe inspiring seeing the techniques and tools they use to process their cacao beans into cocoa and other cocoa products. The whole experience was made that much better with a guide who seems to adore her country, and love to share her knowledge. We enjoyed our time so much we had to keep the day going and carried on to the natural reserve in Can Tho. So glad we didn't let the early morning wake up deter us.
