- 1Cai Be Floating MarketStop: 9 hours - Admission includedThe Mekong Delta became famous worldwide during what locals call the anti-American War. The Delta is also famous for its floating markets such as Cai Be floating market. It is located on the middle of Tien River bordering with three provinces of Vinh Long, Tien Giang and Ben Tre. For those who just have a short time, Mekong Delta tour Cai Be Floating Market will give you an overview of the typical of Vietnam. On the way, you can see the green paddy fields stretching towards the horizon (2 hours driving). After arrival in the Cai Be, we will on board for an exploration of lush vegetation of the Mekong Delta and the lively floating market. Next the visitors could enjoy a nice trip by rowing the boat on the maze of shady canals to arrive at a local orchard in order to enjoy the fresh local tropical fruits. About costumes, mostly participants performing “đờn ca tài tử” are friends, neighbors so they often wear daily clothes while performing. In Southern region, the main costume is “áo bà ba” – a traditional costume that you find only in Vietnam Mekong River. In recent years, in order to meet the needs of visitors, groups of traditional music gather to be several clubs. In addition to their occupation, they will also perform when being required. While performing, they helped listeners feel the content of the songs. In particular, they had ability to feel a song by heart very high. They made the listeners understand more about Vietnam southern land where has interlacing river systems. For a long time ago, the image of local boats, wherries, rivers, bridges ... have been extremely familiar to the locals here. Right when being born, they were immersed in to vast sky and land. When growing up, they had to go through bamboo bridges. When fishing, dropping nets, carrying goods to the market... they also attached their lives to the immense water. Đờn ca tài tử are songs which are bold of Southern people’s mood through the picture of rivers, boats ... Music influences profound to the soul of the listener. The traditional music helps them relax after a tiring working day. Moreover, we could visit the daily life activities of the handicraft villages of the local people. We will have a break and enjoy lunch at the orchard fruit garden. From here we will have a pleasant time riding bicycles to villages, sightseeing or relaxing on the hammock. Then continue on boat to Cai Be town for a boat station. Lastly, the van will take you back to Sai gon to end the trip.Read more

- Wander67066800Horrible food, noisy. Don’t waste your moneyWas convinced to take this dinner cruise by hotel concierge. Food was buffet style & horrible. Nothing was fresh. We were given 1 drink but couldn’t find anywhere to purchase another. Lots of screaming children. The lovely people we met in our table made it bearable but would’ve definitely not recommend this
- M682TYamyk00Panoramic Views!A wonderful day trip! My guide, Luc, made sure the day was pleasant and interesting. The highlight was looking out from the top of the Christ the King Statue. It requires 133 extra stairs from the top of the hill to get there, but well worth it. Luc was there with water and encouraging words all along the way. I’m so glad I took the time to go to Vung Tau!
- kswilliams00Amazing Ho Co Minh City experience!The water puppet show was very skilful, but we truly loved the dinner cruise. Seeing Ho Chi Minh City from the boat was amazing, particularly the bright city lights.
- chakel8300Excellent Tour and GuideWe were picked up from our hotel and were offered bottles of water. The car was air-conditioned and comfortable. The driver was fairly safe to Vietnamese standards. The drive to Cu Chi is about an hour. Our guide Luc, had excellent communication skills, and was very social and informative. It was very easy to communicate, and he answered all questions about the history of Vietnam not just about the Cu Chi tunnels, but about all of Vietnam history. Luc was able to offer local knowledge on different things we were interested in and was very helpful. The tour is self was very interesting and has a lot of areas where you can walk through the small tunnels and see what it was like. There is a firing range, when you can select a gun to fire. The bullets are quite expensive you have to have a minimum of 10 bullets. each bullet is around 60,000.VND One of the staff will take you down to the pit area where you need to wear ear protection. The guns are mounted however, you are able to move them around and aim for the target. The staff will load the bullets for you. It is extremely loud in this area and in the gift shop. There is a gift shop located at the firing range, and also at the beginning of the tour. I would recommend doing this tour as it is private and you can have a good one on one experience.
- Jet16508300Vung Tau Vietnam full day tourLuc (pronounced Luke) is very nice and kind. He speaks English very well and he knows a lot of the history of Vietnam. The tour is a full day tour of the seaside city of Vung Tau and there is not a dull moment. According to our guide the area is very popular among the locals on the weekends. If the locals frequent the area you know you are at a good spot. Not touristy and not expensive. The beach is very long and the water is very warm (February). A lot of waves though and danger of rip currents but the life guards are vigilant and alert to anyone trying their luck. We visited the statue of Christ on the hill that resembles Salvator Mundi of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. There are 900 steps up the hill but with regular stops it's very doable. The tour also includes a visit to a Buddhist temple and seafood lunch at a very nice restaurant at Green Hotel. Very pleased with the tour, the tour guide and the sightseeing. Definitely recommend it.
- NamasteHoliday00Lucky Luc is the man !!Excellent experience and what made it all possible was Luc. Such a gentleman and truly a beautiful person and new friend to us both. His personality makes you want to learn more and experience this beautiful country and it’s heritage with it’s amazing culture. There is so much more than what people think. Saigon matches there best of the best in world class cities and still has room to expand !! If I could I would move here, as I’ve already fell in love with the culture and country. Thank you Luc and much love and good thoughts to you. Kind regards ~ Glenn and Neil
- Chan C00Service Rendered for Classic Mekong Tour.Although the Viator Travel has disappointed me for the arrangement of the pick-up & drop-off point which agreed upon the payment for the Classic Mekong Delta Private Tour. Nevertheless the tour guide Mr Ho Throng Luc has indeed provided us a fruitful information the tour, my wife and I really appreciated for his rich knowledge, therefore my wife tipping him and also the driver for taking care of our luggage throughout our tour.
- Global77972800Stunning scenery, good food and amazing staff.We stayed on the mini cruise boat for 2 nights at the end of January 23 at Halong Bay. This boat is beautiful. We had a balcony room, which I would recommend. The food was very good, and plentiful. The only down side was the cold, but I think we were unfortunate with the weather. This is a truly stunning place! Without exception the staff were brilliant. In particular, Tom, the guide was amazing. Unfortunately, I left a bag on the transfer boat as we were leaving. It had a brand new Kindle, Michael Kors coat, Sony headphones. Tom went above and beyond to get my bag back to me. A week later, it arrived at our hotel in Ho Chi Minh with all it's contents. A massive thank you to Tom and his team.
- rap273700Seven Gringos in Vung TauA very worthwhile trip, our Guide Luc made it into an awesome and pleasant educational event. Not only myself, but my five grandkids were enchanted and charmed by Luc throughout the tour. Vung Tau is beautiful, but far more so when you really understand what you are looking at. Thanks, Luc 😍🙏
- Felipe III D00Knowing Vietnam in a short time!This tour revealed so many historical snippets of how Vietnam came to be as it is now. Very educational and the places we had gone to were all just within city boundaries. Mr Pilit, the guide was also helpful in the whole learning process. Thanks for this.
- K3414QHdanielc00Luc is a friendly and informative guide!This was a great trip. Luc was knowledgeable and informative as a guide, teaching us lots about local approaches to life. He was also very friendly and it made for a fun day! Seeing the local people active in their communities in the Mekong Delta was wonderful. Great day trip!
- Bobjustiniac00Saigon private tourGreat day in Saigon. The driver and van perfect. Luc is always smiling, helpful and take good care of everyone! Thanks
- Coffeeonice00Extremely SatisfiedIt was a good drive, guide Mr Luk took us to all places on time. He was kind enough to take us to indian restaurant for lunch.
- travelier_200900Arguing Guide, smoky car, lazy driver, Take this tour at your own risk!I have taken several viator and TripAdvisor private tours but never got such a bad experience. We booked a private tour. We informed well in advance to the operator that due to jet lag, we will start late, we will skip a few visits, skip lunch as well from the itinerary. We mentioned in detail what we would like to accomplish, and we calculated reasonable timeframes and the operator agreed. However, after we met, he started with a negative tone at the outset and said he won’t be able to do everything we agreed upon, etc. He also changed the sequence and wanted to take us to the market first, knowing that the market is open late in the evening. This was to trick us in spending time in shopping, blaming us and then skipping more sights and thus saving on entrance fees. We insisted on seeing sights which close by 5 first and asked him to stick with the sequence we gave. We turned out to be right. The car smelled smoke, the driver was a smoker and did not care even if we complained. He also did not bother to come out and open the door for me, especially when it was on the side of traffic. Other tour drivers always did that. The tour operator kept on arguing and spoiled our experience. He took us to a shop where he probably gets a commission, but we did not buy anything as we had been to similar shop in our previous tour. That annoyed him more. At the end, he said his driver must go (just after merely 5 hours whereas tour was at least for 8 hours), then he said that the market visit is not even his itinerary. Fortunately, we saved a pdf of tour details and link to viator and showed him after which he admitted that he indeed has it in his itinerary, but he did not remember. Then he let go of the car and the driver, we walked and shopped in the market and he put us in a taxi to drop to our hotel. The hefty price we paid for private car and guide experience went down the tube. The operator said he was the owner of his company so if the owner has such attitude and has no problem with ruining customer experience, I don’t think you should engage this company. Viator and TripAdvisor should not put such bad apples on their platform.
- debbt201300Beautiful vietnamese story tellingThis was a topical vietnamese storey telling puppet show, excellence in its performance to get the storey over even tho it was in their language you got the drift of what was happening. Room was intermittent with I say about 100-150 seats so everyone was able to see.

This was the best tour of my 10 day trip to Vietnam. Bruce was an outstanding guide. He was knowledgeable, friendly, spoke English very well and showed us the best time. I recommend this trip with Bruce to anyone visiting Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon).

As Gomer Pyle used to say" Surprise, surprise, surprise!!"
Well, my surprise and that of many others is that THERE IS NO FLOATING MARKET AT CAN BE!!!!!
Yet Trip Advisor continues to offer advertising slots to Can Be Floating markets. The date is 30th March 2023. I arrived home yesterday after touring Can Be on the 27th February, 2023.
What a wasted day out of our lives that will never be be regained.
More on that day later..... DON'T GO TO "CAN BE" TO VISIT THE FLOATING MARKETS. THEY HAVE RELOCATED TO THE NORTH OF HCMC.

Had the pleasure of touring the Mekong River with Bruce last month while in Vietnam. This tour may cost a bit more than others but it is well worth it. Bruce did an excellent job in maximizing our time on the tour and making sure he took us where I wanted to go. (The Vietnamese lunch was amazing). Bruce is professional, very knowledgeable and quite personable. His English skills are also excellent. I highly recommend this tour to anybody considering a one day tour of the Mekong Delta - worth every dollar!

This was a great one day tour of the Mekong Delta. We were able to take a tour of the Mekong river by boat, experience the floating market, see the culture of the local people, ride bikes around town, and eat delicious food. Bruce was an outstanding tour guide. Not only was he knowledgeable about the Mekong Delta and the floating market, but he was knowledgeable about the country of Vietnam in general. He spoke clearly, made us all feel comfortable, and answered all of our questions. He was a true professional and clearly loves his job. Highly recommend the tour if you want to see the Mekong river/delta up close and personal!
