Nice tour - A great insight into the floating market in Can Tho. Our guide was very nice and had a lot to tell us. Highlights were the visit to the rice noodle factory and the cocoa plantation.

Perfect!! - The excursion is super complete, you visit the Cai Rang market, you have a typical Vietnamese dish for breakfast, you eat different fruits, you visit the chocolate farm and the noodle factory; The best thing without a doubt has been our guide Hannah, she has explained many things to us and is also very nice!! 😍 We wish you all the best

Excellent tour- highly recommend - We had an amazing time with Hannah our tour guide. It was really great to see how the people trade at the floating markets, take part in making rice noodles and learn more about cacao in Vietnam. We tried lots of delicious food and learnt so much. We loved Hannah’s company throughout the tour, she taught us so much and was a pleasure to spend the day with her. Highly recommend!

Great morning trip, fantastic guide, tasty food. - My parents and myself booked a trip with tourguide Hannah and it was great. Her English is really good, she is very knowledgeable and brought us to the tastiest food boats. The visit to a noodle factory and cocoa farm are perfectly timed to stretch your legs and check out some local trades (Hannah also brought me to see some puppies after she found out I love dogs). Even after 4 years in Vietnam it was still interesting. For us the 4 hour trip was perfect to still enjoy an entire sunny afternoon afterwards. Would definitely recommend. Oh and the driver of the boat was also very helpful and just great smiley guy!

Well worth your time - A fun morning out experiencing the Floating markets - great food and hospitality along the way - almost said no to breakfast but so glad we changed our minds - the noodles were great. Also great to experience noodle making and the cocoa factory after a leisurely boat trip through the canal. A was a fabulous host with lots of great insights into Vietnam’s culture and economy.
