Excellent guide - The 5 star rating is 100% due to our guide Lang. This young and enthusiastic guy really does his utmost to make the trip worthwhile. Thank you Lang and all the succes in your life! The trip itself was disappointing though. We had to get up very early but instead of looking at a busy market we mainly looked at other tourists. The nature is ok but there is litter everywhere. This will not be better with other tours. On the contrary, we were lucky to have a very small group.

Can Tho and the Rivers surprises - We enjoyed the tour a lot. The guide showed us around as described. To enter the small canals was a relaxing experience. And the taste of the cocoa is delicious.

A most enjoyable morning! - Very enjoyable morning with my guide Lâm, extremely friendly and informative. We started out at 5:30 am, which is definitely the thing to do. The itinerary was fairly standard (noodle breakfast at the floating market, visit a home on a boat, visit a noodle factory, visit the chocolate factory––but the conversations about the region and the country made it very special. Also, Lâm has invested a good deal of energy in mastering the various stages of the tour which impressed me. I read of many of these tours and saw quite a few while we were on our, but I feel very fortunate to have chosen Fabulous Mekong Eco Tours and to have had Lâm as my guide. Highly recommended!

amazing tour in cacao garden - Thank you so much for giving my family such a fantastic Mekong experience. Although it was a very early morning to get to the Mekong by sunrise, it was 100% worth it. Also a big shout out to Grace our tour guide who was amazing with our three young kids (8, 7, 5 yo). They had such a fun and interactive experience. Thank you!

A must do in Can Tho - We had such a great day with Kyn! Our tour was on a small boat, and we learned lots about the local area and way of life, enjoyed h the r most DELICIOUS breakky at the floating markets, saw how people live on the Mekong, and the also visited a rice noodle factory and the cacao plantation. I must say, the floating market was not very busy - maybe 20 boats at the most, I had expected more but sounds like lots of sellers are moving to land and off the river, so regardless it was special to see as the market may not be around in ten years time. Such a great trip, taken to another level with Karaoke on the way home! Thoroughly enjoyed, thank you Kyn

Entertaining trip along the river and canals - Went on a tour with Lâm and had an amazing time! My boyfriend and I were joined by another couple and it was just us in a small boat, Lâm spoke incredible English and explained lots to us alongside answering all our questions. We all had a really good time and I would highly recommend this tour, anyone who tours with Lâm will be very lucky! Thank you for making our trip so memorable.

Enjoy the Mekong Delta in peace - We were picked up at sunrise by our guide Edward with a smile. Together with the excellent boat driver, he guided us flawlessly and with local knowledge through the Mekong delta via the Floating market, a noodle factory and cocoa farm. At each stop we were served a delicious snack or meal. Edward also told us with great passion about the fauna and flora. Highly recommended!
