Great cultural experience for the time-poor and budget conscious. - This tour was far better than I expected and offered incredible value for money. Jane was friendly, kind, informative and funny. She was extremely generous with her time and knowledge and went beyond the realms of the itinerary tour to offer advice on other things to do or how to get the best experience in Can Tho. We even felt confident enough to cross roads on our own after spending the morning with her. I cannot recommend this tour enough and if you are fortunate enough to get Jane as your tour guide then you are going to have a richer experience than the small amount of money you paid for it. Loved it.

A morning at the floating market - We had an awesome morning with the guide. Got picked up by the hotell and driven to the boat. From there we had a 30 minute drive with different stories and history until we came to the market. A lot of different food boats and she really knew the people on the floating market and brought us on to their boats to experience how it is as well as finding good food to try.
We had a look in an old way of making noodles and got to try some techniques and taste it.
She is very helpful and good at finding local treasures worth looking at. Can definitely recommend this guide!

CAI Rang floating Market small boat tour - Jane was extremely personable, and informative and along with the very friendly and capable boat owner, Mr. Hûe, we had a thoroughly enjoyable tour of the CAI Rang floating Market, neighboring canals and a family operated Rice Noodle production facility which was especially interesting and fun… the owners allows the tourist to participate in the production activities…👍… Perfect team.. Mr Hûe was able to inform us about the nature of the river, mangroves, plant life (through the translation of Jane) and Jane explained the local culture and people. Definitely recommended!

Visit the Mekong Door - Yesterday we went on a guided tour to the floating market in Kang Tu. We were guided by a guide named Zhan. She picked us up from the hotel and brought us back to the hotel 5 hours later. The tour was private in a small boat and we got a real sense of how the locals live alongside and inside the Mongo.

Beautiful, relaxing private boat tour through the floating market and canals. - Our guide Thuy was great! She was kind and knowledgeable. She explained all the interesting things about the market and Can Tho. We had a private boat that was much nicer than the others that were leaving with the different tours at the same time. We were taken on a very relaxing ride to the market and were offered to stop and buy what we wanted to eat and drink. Boat captain was amazing, moving the boat where we could have a nice view of the sunrise and take great pictures. We had THE MOST DELICIOUS vegetarian pho for breakfast and visited the local rice noodle makers. So good we can't wait to have it again tomorrow!!!

Must Do! - This is an excellent trip and we loved being with’AN’ our guide. The trip went so smoothly, and was as advertised. We loved the genuine nature of this tour, and we had a really insight into Mekong life. Being small was so much more special. We didn’t want the big commercial tours preferring the more intimate. This was probably one of the highlights of our 7 weeks in Vietnam. Don’t hesitate! Suitable for children although we were a couple. Safe and very informative. Great service all round! Thank you ‘An!’ 😃👍☀️
