Mekong Delta unforgettable - Our tour guide Phuc really blossomed the more we wanted to know. The tour itself would have been wonderful, but through his explanations and tips it became one of the best we did in Vietnam.

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.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Cai Rang Floating Market & Mekong Delta Private Tour - ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Cai Rang Floating Market & Mekong Delta Private Tour
The journey from Ho Chi Minh City to Cai Rang was definitely a long drive, but absolutely worth it. Along the way, I got to see the beautiful countryside and catch glimpses of daily life in the Mekong Delta.
The highlight was, of course, the Cai Rang Floating Market—such a vibrant and unique experience. Watching the boats piled high with fresh produce and local goods felt like stepping into a living piece of history and culture. It was fascinating to see how people have carried on this tradition for generations.
The food throughout the trip was incredible—fresh, flavorful, and truly authentic. Sharing meals with locals made it even more special, as the warmth and hospitality of the people really stood out.
This tour gave me a deeper appreciation for the Mekong Delta’s culture, history, and way of life. While the drive was long, the experience was unforgettable, and I’d recommend it to anyone looking to explore beyond Ho Chi Minh City.

Trip to the Mekong - Interestingly, it focuses on local specialties such as coconut sweets, pancakes and rice noodles. The floating market, although declining, is still alive and beautiful. Unfortunately the weather did not accompany the whole trip so we could not do all the activities. The guide was very good, he was seen with commitment.

Don't bother - the glory days have past - What should have being an amazing sight was a very large disappointment. The market consists of about 12 larger boats which wholesale to the local land market. The days of hundres of small trader hawking there wares to tourist boats are gone. There no colour, no hats, no life. Given its 3 hours away from Ho Chi Ming, maybe do real floating markets next time your in bangok.
