  The Tour to the FLOATINGMARKET with RUBY Was the best Tour we had in Vietnam. Ruby realised quickly what we were interested in an so we got an authentic feeling by watching the locals selling their goods, by tasting delicious local drinks, fruits and soup. We also enjoyed the traditional process of making rice-noodles and cacoa. We loved Rubys sense of humor and had a georgious time. Thanks a lot.

  Trang was really a good tour guide. She speaks very well English and explains everything without pressure. We went to open bazaar , took some fresh fruits. After floating market with small canoe that made us feel close to the water and enjoyed more. She explains many things during the place. We took hot delicious Vietnamese noodle , vegetable one with tofu was really delicious. Added some chili spices and their lime lemon. We took coffee and water. We visited local place to see how they do noodles. After we took the taxi and went to natural area to observe the birds. We were tired and sick so we didn’t want to stay but obsoletely there were very peaceful place. We went on the river again there. We had lunch after. The menu was delicious and fresh. I loved potato spring rolls dont remember the name but omg! Pancakes with vegetables , shrimps or with port was delicious too. Overall we enjoyed alot despite of we were sick.

  A fantastic experience! Thank you to Tammy for her explanations and her cheerful disposition throughout the morning! We started by strolling through the local market, where we bought various local fruits. On a small boat, we toured the floating market, where we enjoyed coffee, noodle soup, and a delicious pineapple before being given a tour inside one of the boats! Next, we headed to the small canals to reach a family-run noodle factory, where we learned all about the production process. Back on the boat, we sampled fruit on the way to the cacao farm, where we had a lovely tour before enjoying a hot chocolate! Finally, we took one last ride through the canals before heading to the port. Thanks again, Tammy, you made this experience perfect, not to mention the many photos you took! A truly wonderful encounter! 😁

  We did the floating markets/Noodle factory/Cacao tour with our guide Ruby. She was so informative and spoke really good English and we were so impressed we ended up doing the Floating fish farm/Son Islet tour with her the following day. We had so much fun with her and would highly recommend her for tours in and around the Mekong. Thanks for a special couple of days Ruby. We will never forget.❤️🙂

  This tour exceeded all our expectations. The floating market experience, peaceful canals and the visit to the nature reserve were all incredibly well planned and executed. Everything felt seamless and professional. Our guide, Mai, truly made the difference. Her English was excellent and easy to understand, which allowed for great conversations and questions. She has a strong background in local nature and environment, and her explanations were both informative and fascinating. She shared many stories that gave us a genuine insight into daily life in the Delta. Thanks to her, this felt like a journey with a local friend, not a standard tourist tour. Mai also took lots of great photos of us during the trip, so we could fully enjoy the moment without worrying about capturing everything ourselves I would recommend this tour without hesitation.

  Had the most wonderful morning cycling through the countryside outside of Can Tho. It was fascinating to see how the local people live and work compared to the city. We visited a local market and ate delicious fruit and also had a couple of refreshing drink breaks. Our guide Ruby spoke excellent English and we learnt alot from her. She was a joy to be with, enthusiastic and such good fun. All in all an excellent tour, thank you Ruby.

  We had a wonderful tour with our guide, Mai. She was so happy and informative and told us so many things in regards to the Mekong region. The breakfast at the floating market was a great experience, and the rice noodle making and cacao farm visits were wonderful inclusions.. We highly recommend this tour.

  We wanted to explore the life in the delta as well feel the nature. So for us this was the perfect tour. Everything was arranged, the pick up/drop off at the hotel. Snacks/food and drinks on the tour. The floating market and the way there gives you a small idea of what a day looks like. The nature reserve, alto not that big, is worth the trip. Its peaceful and when you are at the look out point you can see a lot of birds flying the canopy's. Are tourguide was a great help. She made us feal right at home.
