Great guide, good people, underwhelming floating market

Minh, my guide, was great! 5 stars for him. He was very knowledgeable and kept a nice pace for all the activities. Expect a full day. The hotel and included food were good. They easily accommodated my dietary restrictions. The reason for 4 stars was the disappointing floating market. Apparently since COVID, many people left and there's not much left. I recommend visiting the delta but skip the market unless it's during a holiday.

100% recommend- great tour!!!

This trip was very well organised starting with a hotel pick up, multiple boat trips, visits to different plantations, coconut sweet factories, bike rides, visits to wet markets and floating markets and noodle factories and lunch with a cooking demonstrations, it was serious fun packed and highly recommend. Our guide “Tom” Cruise was highly knowledgeable about the geography, history of Vietnam. He was receptive and accommodating to our needs. He was an absolute star. I would never have been able to see the sights or do the things I did by myself. Go for it. Useful tips : bring sun cream, hat and insect spray.

Two dreamlike days in the Mekong Delta. Can Tho

A wonder, intense, complete, kind...my family and I enjoyed it very much with our fellow travelers. Our guide Pha is fantastic, always attentive and concerned but leaving space. I totally recommend the tour and if it is with Pha, even more so.
