We had a perfect trip at the floating market on the early morning around 6.30 am. We saw so many local merchants sell so much fruits such as pineaplle, potato carrot, mango, jackfruit etc we also had chance to try some delicious fruits. Our guide invited us a cup of coffee at floating cafe and a bowl of noodle sup at local floating restaurant, all are so delicious. We ate together with local people not any travellers around us. We also went to small village to see many local fruits gardens like star apple, rambutan, jactfruit gardens and also meet many local farmers who are so friendly and curious to see tourists. Especially, we visit a family making chocolate by traditional way. We ate so much chocolate but this is the first time I saw real cocoa trees and seeing of all processes of how to make chocolate. All of this experiences are really authentic and unforgetable. You can book this trip with our guide's whatsaap +84949756045.…

We had really wonderful experiences with our great guide (Tier, whatsapp +84949756045). We went to inside floating market to see of how local people trading fruits such as pineapple, mango water melon and so on. We also have a great experience as we have breakfast with noodle soup and milk coffee at the middle of river. Then, we move to small peaceful and natureal canals and walking along with villages to see many fruit gardens and local farmers. The local people are so friendly and generous, they invited us a lot of fruits. This was so wonderful feeling. Finally, we went to noodle fatory in which we tried to make noodle by traditional way, it is really authentic. I highly recommend for anyone taking the trip with Tier, he is so nice, friendly and knowledges. Highly recommend.…

The smaller the group the better the trip was in my view. My guides were dad and daughter from Green Village Mekong and they new smaller more authentic places. Strong recommendation as they took me to a small authentic less tourist style glass noodle factory near by and let you make one. Great early morning trip with wildlife along the canals line beautiful kingfishers. …

We were looking for a half day boat trip and walked to the harbour side to get an offer we felt good with. Only a few tourist were there because it was the begin of the covid19 pandemic. So the potential captains, guides and tour agents offered their tours more or less aggressive to us. As we reached the end of the harbour side a very friendly boat captain spoke to us. He showed us on a hand-drawn flyer what he offers. He also showed us his boat which was nearby leashed at the pier. We felt good and decided to book the trip with him. In the early morning we arrived at the pier and entered the boat of Mr. Han. He took us down the river to the Cai Rang floating market and explained as many as he could with his English. It was very interesting to see how the goods changed the owner and how they negotiated. After this he took us to a rice noodle fabric. Surprisingly it was very interesting too. We produced some rice noodles by our own and left the place with a nice experience. Afterwards we had breakfast on the boat and a fantastic strong coffee while we looked at the scenery at the floating market. The rest of the tour Mr. Han floated with us through small channels what was really good too. Other boats with tourists were floating only at the bigger channels. All in all it was one of our best experiences during our stay in Vietnam at the beginning of the covid19 pandemic. We can fully recommend Mr. Han and hope he will get here recognition of others which appreciate his service. You would support him and his whole family!…

We do like markets, especially food market that are floating. I have loved seeing them on tv as a kid thinking wow all that colour, all that different food. So this was a joy to behold. We were on a trip so did not buy to cook, but just to see it was a dream come true.
