    It was so lovely seeing the sunrise from our little boat. Breakfast on board was really delicious. Fun to see how the trading happens. A little sad these markets are dying out so would recommend visiting while they are still operational. The biggest treat of this tour was my guide Clara. She gave such amazing insight to the lives of the people in this area. She was incredibly open about her own experiences growing up here and honestly, if the tour was just having a coffee and chat with her, I would do it all over again!

    Great tour - highly recommend

    Sophia was an exceptional tour guide and made our Mekong floating market and cooking class an unforgettable experience. She was incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and well-organised, and explained everything in a way that made the day both educational and fun. She took great care of the group, shared fascinating insights about local life along the Mekong, and made sure everyone felt comfortable and included throughout the tour. The floating market visit was authentic and vibrant, and the cooking class was hands-on, relaxed, and absolutely delicious. Sophia’s passion, energy, and attention to detail really stood out and made the experience feel special rather than rushed or touristy. I would highly recommend her to anyone wanting a genuine, well-run Mekong experience.

    We had an excellent time!...

    We had an excellent time! Cory was very knowledgeable, the itinerary was diverse, and we would highly recommend it.

    Sunny was the best, great river and cultural excursion

    Robbie_M, Nov 2025
    This was the Bestseller, cleary attributed to Sunny’s expertise and knowledge of the Mekong Delta, bringing out the best as we gained much insight on Vietnamese culture and by way of a cooking experience. Thanks so much to Sunny for making our excursion so memorable!

    Good, Sophia is really...

    Good, Sophia is really nice. Traditional Mekong experience Viator is a bit more expensive than other guides tho

    Great experience

    Matthew_D, Jul 2025
    Sunny was our guide. He was great. The market was a fun experience. The coffee and breakfast on the boat was very tasty. Being able to be immersed in the local trade was enjoyable. I would recommend this to anyone.

    Great day with a great guide!

    This was a great tour and I think we got extra lucky with Sophia as our guide. She was informative, pleasant and fun ( with a little teasing streak that she used on us a few times to everyone’s pleasure). She was always trying to make it the best tour possible and did not rush any part of the day. We started promptly at 5:30 AM and did not get back to the dock until just before 1:00 PM but our group of 5 was engaged the whole time because of Sophia’s energy and good nature. I am sure that there are other good guides but if you can get Sophia you can’t go wrong

    Fun full day

    I did the Cai rang and noodles + cacao farm tour with Thuy. She was an amazing tour guide - very passionate and knowledgeable. I really liked that because the weather was nice and we had some extra time, she took us to an extra stop which was a beautiful plant nursery. My favorite part of the trip was when we stopped for tea and fruits on the “pineapple” houseboat. Great experience overall!

    Floating market tour with guide Sunny

    I liked tour a lot. Our guide Sunny is entusiastic, nice, inovative person. It was easy going atmosfere and wonderful time spent in beautiful nature. Thanks for everything!!

    The best tour!

    Rebecca_L, Aug 2024
    Sunny catered a unique experience sharing his personal experience and expertise about life in Can Tho and Vietnam. We got to see many different locations and places I would not have gone traveling solo. The atmosphere was relaxed and friendly. Excellent value for the tour. So far this was one of the best highlights during my Vietnam trip. I recommend spending a day with Sunny when visiting Can Tho!

    Unforgettable tour with an amazing guide

    Veronika_R, Feb 2024
    The tour was really great and I enjoyed it a lot. Besides the normal route, we also took a long ride through the non-touristic canal, where we could enjoy the views all by ourselves. Our guide Sunny is an adorable person with lots of positive energy and I learned a lot from him regarding nature, local life, rice noodle and chocolate production. Besides that, the local fruits he offered during the tour were so yummy. I can truly recommend this tour. And as it was so awesome, I've also booked the tour to the Lung Ngoc Hoang birds sanctuary the next day with him, which I can definitely also recommend. We were the only tourists there and it was really an amazing and peaceful tour through nature. Thanks for the unforgettable impressions, Sunny!

    I had an incredible...

    I had an incredibly great experience on the Mekong. Our guide Cory was incredibly nice and had lots of interesting facts and information along the way. Highly recommended to anyone who wants to experience the floating market and parts of the Vietnamese culture around the Mekong as it is now.

    Fun and educational tour

    Annika_P, Feb 2026
    A fun, educational and honest discovery of Melong Delta with guide Corry. He gave us a glimpse into the history of this place and contemporary life. The cooking workshop that came with it was also very nice and tasty. I would recommend this tour blessing

    Merci Clara

    Margaux_B, Apr 2025
    Nous avons passé une journée incroyable avec Clara. Au programme, visite du marché flottant, balade dans les canaux, visite d’une pépinière et cours de cuisine. Sûrement une des plus belles expériences de mon voyage ! Je recommande 1000 fois ! Bien mieux que les gros bateaux remplis de touristes, nous étions 5 et avons passé une superbe journée. Merci pour tout Clara ❤️
