Breakfast on the water - Paul is a really excellent guide. He was very knowledgeable about the floating market and life on the river, telling us so much about the local customs and traditions. Our visit to the rice noodle factory and the cacao farm was also great thanks to all his information. I can highly recommend him as a guide.

Great way to discover Can Tho - Great morning tour with Phong! It was a pleasure seeing and learning many aspects of Can Tho and Vietnam's tradition. He was happy to answer to all of our questions making the experience even more interesting. The booking process was very good as well, with clear info provided via Whatsapp (thanks Felicia).

Tour - I had a great time with Phoenix who took the time to explain a lot of aspects about the delta Mekong. He answered all my questions and took great care of me during the tour. Highly recommend for an experience away from big crowds.

Nice, interesting and well organized, but with a crowd of tourists - Very nice market, however with a lot of tourists. Dozens of boats loaded with tourists do more or less the same tour at the same time. You should not be put off by 100% tourist activities to fully enjoy it. Everything is perfectly organized and prowled. The tour is nice and interesting (visit the small ducts of the Mekong, a traditional boat in which the merchants live, a noodle factory and cocoa plantation, in addition to the market). Our guide Phong was very friendly and took the trouble to answer all our questions. I recommend a private tour, which allows to have a slightly more authentic experience, considering the amount of tourists.
