Great tour of Mekong delta area - Loved our various excusions - power packed day starting at 5am with about 6 hours total of driving and 6 hours of touring. There is a nice limo that took us around so being in the car wasn’t so bad. First part is Can Tho - tried local Durian and soup, Floating market is smaller than in the past. Second part in My Tho is adventurous with huge lunch, boat ride under coconut trees, beekeeping, python snake, candy making, music, chocolate, snake concoction, fish and vegetable market. Our tour guide, Kai, was so accommodating, friendly and knowledgeable! Thank you for a memorable experience!

Great experience! Great tour! - What a great way to see a lot of places when you don’t have a lot of time. Bac was our tour guide—and a stellar tour guide! He contacted me the day before our tour to provide me with logistics of the day, was early the day of our tour, and gave my family and I the most special, personalized attention throughout the day. I brought my aunts (who live in Vietnam) and my mom (from the US) and everyone rated this tour 5/5. Even my aunts (who are born and raised in Vietnam) said it was such a unique experience and they learned a lot of cool and interesting things about their country! It was a wonderful day filled with great food, great experiences, and great memories.

Amazing Trip - We were picked up early in the morning at our hotel by Nick and the driver. After quite a long car ride (perfect time for a nap) we arrived at the boat to take us to the floating market. First we visited a stall to buy a banh mi to eat on the boat. It was about a 20 minute boat ride to the floating market where we got to try coconut water, Vietnamese coffee and then onto a boat for pineapple and to see how the sellers of the market live while they are there. The market itself is dwindling in size because it’s such an unstable way of life so they predict that it will be gone completely in about 5 years. There is also a stop at a rice noodle factory where you get to try and roll out the rice paper and help cut the noodles. Make sure to bring cash for the market. Next was a stop at a honey bee farm where we got to sample honey tea which was delicious. From there was a boat ride to a coconut candy factory where we saw how they make the coconut into its different forms. Lots of delicious samples. Next was a tuktuk ride to a local fruit stand (delicious) with folk music and a peaceful paddle boat ride along a canal to lunch. After a full lunch we walked around a bit and then back to Ho Chi Minh. We cannot say enough wonderful things about our day as well as our incredible tour guide Nick. He was friendly, helpful and so knowledgeable about the culture and experience of living in Vietnam.

Cai Rung Markets & Mekong Delta with young family - We had a fantastic day exploring Cai Rang Floating Markets & Mekong Delta with Tommy and Nguyen.
Tommy had exceptional knowledge of the area and Nguyen drove expertly thru the areas and ensured we arrived in time for all activities.

We would definitely repeat! - There’s no better way than to visit Cai Rang Market with this private tour, and the Mekong River stroll breathtakingly immerse yourself in all that greenery. And they take you to local places to eat and to know their streets and their day to day. And the guide who accompanied us very fondly took us to know everything first hand, apart from being an exceptional guide. Thank you so much!!

We got picked up at 5am... - We got picked up at 5am from our hotel and started on our private tour. The van was big and clean. The tour was very informative and eye opening. We went to the chocolate factory and got to taste chocolate. Got to go onto one of the local home aka boat to have pineapple. The pineapple was so sweet and delicious. I would totally do this tour again.

Mekong and Floating Market - I highly recommend this tour due to the number of experiences throughout the day. I loved eating fresh pineapple with salt on a boat in the middle of the market. The making of rice noodles was another amazing experience plus floating through the jungle.
My disappointment was with my tour guide as I was myself and the only one on the tour. At times he didn’t think to help me on and off the boat which was not easy especially after the rain. He also fell asleep on the way there and back. It’s not that i expected a conversation but felt not the level of service one should expect. The guide was young and knowledgeable. He just needs a few more years of experience especially the expectations of different cultures.
