Fantastic floating market (Foodie) Tour with Phong! - We had an unforgettable experience exploring the floating market with Phong as our guide. He picked us up promptly at 5:30 am from our hotel, and from the moment we met him, his warm and friendly demeanor made us feel at ease. Phong shared fascinating insights about local life and the delicious local food, giving us a deeper appreciation for the culture and traditions of the area. His knowledge and enthusiasm truly made the tour special. The floating market itself was vibrant and lively—a must-see experience! Phong’s attention to detail and his willingness to answer all our questions made the trip both informative and enjoyable. Thank you, Phong, for such a wonderful tour! Wishing you a very happy and prosperous New Year (Tết)! Highly recommended for anyone visiting the area!

Can Tho evening tour - Ann was our guide and she was the best! Very friendly and willing to answer any questions we might of had. We took a boat to go through the canals and we even got the chance to paddel the boat ourselves. Ann showed us around Can Tho nightlife and introduced us to some of the best traditional vietnamese sweets. I can totally recommend her! ❤️

Amazing company - We weren’t able to do the tour because we made a mistake when booking it and didn’t realise it until a couple hours before, way passed their refund and cancellation policy. However we we’re able to talk to them and they gave us a full refund for the activity which was amazing. They were very pleasant to talk to and extremely understanding. So we didn’t do the activity but the company’s problem solving and responsiveness were a 10. Thank you so much!!

Sunset on the Mekong and Can Tho Food Tour - Our guide was a local woman, An Tran, and she was wonderful. We had trouble locating the meeting point and were 10 minutes late. We called An and she was able to explain in fluent English where to find her, and she graciously waited for us. The trip on the small canals in late afternoon was serene and our boat pilot (another middle-aged woman) was patient and skillful. After docking, An took us to Ong Temple and explained the religious carvings and historical significance of the temple. Then she steered us toward street food vendors who were selling items we would never have tried but for An. Can Tho was very crowded on this last day of Tet but An knew where her vendors would be. We had a crepe filled with sticky rice, red bean paste, mung bean paste and coconut milk; a Vietnamese coconut candy; a rice pancake taco kinda thing filled with pork, egg, and herbs. Then we sat for a refreshing drink of coconut water with lime. Walking through town, we stopped by a woman making crepes made of rice flour and coconut milk, cooked in a sizzling hot wok and filled with sweetened shredded coconut. An explained that making this dish is becoming a lost art. Our last stop was for Banh Mi, a baguette sandwich with the filling of your choice. Altogether an unforgettable experience, thanks to An. Highly recommend!

A taste of life on the river - We took the trip during Lunar New Year, so there were not as many tourists or other boats if you’re into that. We some local food and drinks on a house boat at the floating market, visited a botanical garden, paddled on our own for a bit, learned some history and did other things, overall a nice compact experience in only 5 hours. Definitely satisfying. Our guide was Trieu Phong, a very nice and accommodating guy, can’t recommend him enough!

Tour of the Mekong - Our tour guide An was very lovely and chatty. She shared lots of cool and interesting stories and experiences while on the Mekong, where we had some treats and did some bird and monkey watching. An got us some yummy food from the food markets before she took us around to see different temples and explained their history, customs and traditions very well for us to understand. We learnt a lot from this tour and had a fantastic time. We would definitely recommend An as a guide and would go on the tour again!

Great experience. - Great experience. Private tour on a tiny little boat. Lady tour guide was great. Got us some local snacks and coconut on the boat too. Get to go up then back down the river for sunset. Coming off she took us to a local food market and bought us multiple things to try. Recommend.

Perfect tour when you have limited time in Can Tho - We really enjoyed this tour! We only had the afternoon and night in Can Tho as taking the ferry the next morning, so it was the perfect timing to do a tour that shows a bit of the city and the river at the same time as all the other tours leave early in the morning. We were just the 2 of us with our wonderful and very nice guide Ms. Y. She was very knowledgeable about Budishm and history of the pagodas. We then went on a small boat through the river and it was beautiful with the sunset light reflection. My boyfriend speaks vietnamese so it was nice to have more conversation with Ms Y but she speaks English well so you will not have any problem to communicate. Thank you Ms Y for your hospitality and kindness, we really enjoyed spending time with you. Hope to visit you in your homestay next year!

Recommended tour - We were just the two of us on the tour, the guide Ms Y was so nice and had a lot of knowledge about the pagodas. The sunset tour on the Mekong was just wonderful, no other boats were there and I think it's a nice tour to do if you only have an afternoon in Can Tho.
