We booked the tour through Ms Ha as she was in our hotel lobby so I thought that if they allowed her in she should be okay. We didn't book immediately, but she saw us later, having a beer, and made a bee line for us. I enjoyed the trip, but the downsides were:- we were promised a 4 hour... More

Ms Ha found us within minutes of stepping out of the hotel on first day in Can Tho. Her English is good and her attitude very insistent - photographs and hand written testimonials from previous, satisfied customers. She delivered the information and prices quickly (US$80 for five people - 7 hour tour) and as it was late in the afternoon... More

My husband and I were looking for a small boat (just carried the two of us) to take us to the Cai Rang and the Phong Dien floating market. We were approached by Ms Ha the night we arrived and she offered us the tour to both markets and to the rice noodle factory for $50 USD for both of... More

We had a great time! We visited Cai Rang Floating Market on our tour with Jason SS (Jason Superstar). We did a 2 day / 1 night tour to the Mekong Delta with him. He took us early to the boat station and left at 5am. Firstly, as expected as other markets in Vietnam, the floating markets open really early... More

We had a great time! Our tour guide, Sen, spoke very fluent english. She was informative, funny, and just a great guide to have. While our boat-guy didn't really spoke english, he know how to get around and was nice as well. The boat was small enough to get around easily, but large enough to be very comfortable for 4... More

Hi there, We've just completed a tour of the floating markets from Can Tho and had a fantastic day out. We organised an early morning tour from our hotel (Hello 2 aka The Green Hotel, according to The Lonely Planet) the night before (we organised with Mr Triet's company). We negotiated a price of $25 for each of us for... More

The thing to do here in Can Tho is to visit the floating markets (plural, there are two), unfortunately I was expecting little barques loaded with coloful fruits and vegetables floating in a tropical settling. That is not what I found at all. I took the advice to start early (5:30) so the market would not be over by the... More
