Boring as batshit! Dirty river and arrived late to the markets due to slowest boat on the river. Floating markets are a shabby remnant of the past. So touristic it is sickening.

My husband and I experienced this tour led by Kyn, who was a great guide! Everything was very well organized. The floating market was fantastic! We also were served delicious soup, tasted pineapples, visited a rice noodle factory and spent some time floating down a hidden canal. We would highly recommend Kyn and this tour to anyone visiting Vietnam!

We are a family of 4 with 2 girls of 9 and 14 and we all liked this tour very much. The floating market was very interesting as well as the noodles factory ( girls loved it to try themselves to do the noodles). We did not feel like eating the breakfast at the floating market but the guide was very kind to keep asking us if we wanted anything to eat or drink. The guide was absolutely nice and professional. We really enjoyed talking to him. Also we liked the little trip to the Mekong canal to see more the country part.

Lily was an excellent guide for the 4 hour tour. As we we weren't staying in Can tho, Lily organised a driver to pick us up at the hotel and drop us off although we would definitely recommend staying in Can Tho for the night. Lily was very communicative and shared lots of interesting stories on the tour.
We got to try fresh seasonal fruit, had a delicious brunch on the boat, visited the smaller canals, noodle maker and chocolate factory. It was great to see the quieter parts of the city and witness a different way of living - we would definitely recommend this tour!

Wir haben die Tour einen Tag vorher gebucht und sofort eine Bestätigung erhalten. Unsere Guide Daisy hat uns um 5.30 im Hotel abgeholt und zum Pier gebracht, wo das Boot schon wartete. Gemeinsam mit einer wunderbaren Bootsführerin brachen wir vier „Powerfrauen“ frohgelaunt auf zum Floating Market. Die Stimmung war von Anfang an gut, Daisy hat uns mit vielen Informationen - in einem sehr guten Englisch - versorgt, unsere Fragen geduldig beantwortet und wir haben Wichtiges und Interessantes über Land, Leute, Kultur erfahren! Die Suppe im Boot war hervorragend, die kleinen Boote haben einen klaren Vorteil gegenüber den Touristenschiffen, denn sie bilden ein „schwimmendes Restaurant“ - ein einmaliges Erlebnis. Auch Besuch von Nudelfabrik und Verkostung auf dem Ananasboot waren unvergesslich. Ein weiteres Highlight war die Fahrt durch einen kleinen Seitenarm des Mekong, in dem wir einen Einblick in die urwüchsige Landschaft und das Leben am Flussufer bekamen . So verflogen die Stunden. Daisy ist eine großartige Person, wir haben die Zeit sehr genossen. Die Tour ist jedem zu empfehlen, auch Ü55-Jährigen!

Exploring the smaller tributary of the Mekong Delta sounds like it was a highlight for you, providing insight into the pristine landscape and riverside life. We are thrilled that you thoroughly enjoyed your time with Daisy and that the tour exceeded your expectations.
Your recommendation means a lot to us, and we are grateful for your kind words. We look forward to welcoming you back on another adventure soon.
