    Don‘t miss the floating market
    Joachim_L, Apr 2024
    Our Guide Nga was very good. You can see, she loves the countryside. She showed us the plants, the life of the fisherman and the floating market. It was amazing to see and taste all the fruits, the pho (the traditional soup) and the hot pot. We went to a family, where we got the hot pot and we baked our own cake. We saw the jumping fish and other different fishes at the fishfarm. The noodles factory was ok, but the break on the boat of a fisherman, who served us fresh pineapple was great. Overall we loved the one day tour and we can warmly recommend Nga.
    An eye opener o
    Salvatore_F, Feb 2024
    The simple life the people of the villages near the markets live, how they survive on the very basic life has to give. Exchanging raw produce from farms, loving on boats and only having river water to use for every day needs.

    Great tour, phenomenal tour guide
    KLIMENT_G, Feb 2024
    This is an absolute must! The sights, the smells, the culture, the food- it was everything we expected and more. Special thanks to our amazing guide Nga. She was an amazing human whose warmth, knowledge and infectious smile made an already wonderful journey all the more pleasant. Note to USA tourists: make sure you do this tour when you’ve been rested and acclimated to Vietnam. We did this when we were jet lagged and it makes for a very very long day. Still, zero regrets and it was one of the best tours we did

    Very insightful and well organised trip
    KhaiLing_W, Jan 2024
    Thank you An for being our guide for this trip. An knows very well the region and she brought us to all the different aspects of how the local Vietnamese live. She was also trying to expose us to all kinds of local foods and fruits which we appreciated a lot especially the children. We really enjoyed the fish farms visits, which was one of the key source of livelihood for the 😆Vietnamese people…

    Alison_R, Nov 2023
    What a fabulous day out with An! Sampan trip down the Mekong, breakfast in the floating market, noodle making, many tastes of Vietnam from the countries food bowl. Fish spa, fruit farm, and a very well informed insight into the agriculture, sustainability and ecology of the area. Thank you An!

    Excellent experience
    Jane_T, Nov 2023
    A unique experience you definitely won't be able to do without a local guide. The first half of the day followed a well trodden tourist path around some classic sights around the Mekong, including seeing the floating markets, visiting a traditional rice noodle making facility, checking out a demo farm, and enjoying snacks everywhere we went. From mid morning, our itinerary took us to a floating market vendor's boat for a look around, a fish farm, a wander through a local fish and fruit farming community, followed by what was almost a double lunch at two of the local establishments. Your day starts incredibly early if departing from Ho Chi Minh City, but the tour is jam packed and well worth doing. Our guide was from the local area and knowledgeable about the plants, fruits and geography - fascinating to listen to despite her not being 100% fluent in English. The food you get to try is as local as it gets - nothing too crazy, just certainly hasn't been "westernised" to cater for tourists, which we think is great. Finally, we really appreciated not being pressured into buying anything anywhere along the tour. All in all, a great day out!

    Immersion into South of Vietnam
    Ada_P, Oct 2023
    This tour is an incredible immersion into how Vietnamese people live. We visited a noodle factory and a fish farm, and learned how people work and live in a small town. We visited the floating market and went to the boat of a pineapple farmer to experience how they live and cook. We tasted different fruits from an orchard, cooked with a local and enjoyed delicious local food. I invite you to take this tour because it's a way to support the locals and show appreciation towards their way of living.

    Stephanie_L, Aug 2023
    We had a fantastic time. We met our guide at the market and we were there just after sunrise, it was a very interesting experience and we had some fantastic food. Throughout the day we learnt a lot about Vietnamese culture and had a chance to explore an area that we probably wouldn't have gone to.

    Best day in Vietnam
    Matthew_M, Jul 2023
    Absolutely amazing day. Easily the highlight of our time in Vietnam. Our guide Nga was very friendly and knowledgeable if you can see if you can get her. It was like having a local friend for the day with lots of tips and tricks for the rest of the holiday too.

    11/10 experience. Would do again.
    Stephanie_T, Apr 2023
    This was my favorite part of my entire Viet Nam trip. Nhu Y was a very funny and adventurous tour guide. We got pedicures from koi fish, she let me row a canoe, we picked berries, and got to make coconut crepes. The fish farm was beautiful!! She was also very informative and I loved having the breakfast on the boat at the floating market.

    Unexpected trip
    Jessica_A, Apr 2023
    We arrived at HCM at 1am and booked for this tour to make sure that the day was not wasted. It was the right decision for us. This trip brought it a surprise. We get to see how people live in the river with their boats and simple life selling different fruits and food that tourists can try. Also, we met good people to share the trip. Such a memorable experience in ahot summer day. Truly awesome.

    A wonderful day, highly recommend
    shifra_m, Mar 2023
    I was very excited for this trip and I was not disappointed. It was totally worth the cost, early start and journey time from HCM. My tour guide Donny made it such fun and took great care of me. He was sensitive to my dietary requirements and comfort. Donny answered all my questions and made sure I got the best experience. Breakfast on the floating market is a good once in a lifetime experience. The day also includes other activities that are interesting and fun. I highly recommend this tour. The tour communication is also very prompt and friendly.

    Floating Market Pho, food and fish!
    LuAnn_P, Feb 2023
    Loved the floating market, exploring Mekong Delta waterways, and several unique culinary experiences. Ate Pho in our small boat from a “boat up” vendor and made rice noodles at small market off the waterway. Visited a very unique fish farm. Such an authentic trip well worth the time!

    It surpassed our expectations
    Simon_S, Oct 2022
    Nhu Y Was an excellent and knowledgeable guide. This was one of the few tours which left HCM in time to catch the floating market. We were on the river before daybreak at one of the lunar high tides, so there was seasonal flooding. Nhu explained much of the activity going on on the river with the knowledge of a local person. The day was just so full of local activities: the water market; tasting the many, many local fruits, having breakfast from one of the boat sellers, visiting one of the floating businesses processing fish, noodles and other varied local foodstuffs, touring the wholesale floating markets, visiting the island fish farms (fantastic experience), touring a local fruit farm and tasting the exotic fruits, making our own local cakes which were steamed and served as part of our leisurely, locally prepared lunch sitting above the water, and finally visiting a local historic French house finely decorated and furnished, and with a unique history. Nhu’s knowledge and familiarity with all of the local vendors and owners made the day stress free. At times we had to listen hard to understand Nhu’s accent, and if we didn’t catch something she always took the time to explain it. It was an Excellent day we will remember for the rest of our lives.
