Very nice tour with Michael. He was very enthusiastic and gave us lots of background info. There are not a lot of boats at the market anymore, but I read about that before and it‘s not the tour operators fault.
Un tuffo nel passato dei mercati galleggianti
Published on Nov, 2024
the guide was very kind, he was super knowledgeable and provided us with a lot of information, the tour is complete, you eat fruit directly from the tree and various types of tea are served. You savor the local culture bite after bite, you prepare your own lunch with the help of the guide. the foot massage with fish is something extraordinary that fills your heart with joy..The tour takes the whole day and is very worth it, the price seems high but it is worth all the money spent. to conclude, I recommend this tour because the floating markets are heading towards extinction. It was lucky for us to see a piece of this past that is so hard to live through. federico
Unique experience

I went on this day trip with Viet Fun Travel. It’s an early start at 5 am but it really is worth it! It’s a pleasure to see and experience the authentic floating market while it still exists. Our tour guide was Daniel, he’s coming from this part ot Vietnam so he could tell us all about it. It was really nice to have him as a guide. After the floating market we went to a local island where not lots of western tourists will go. It was nice to see how the people on the island live and get to try some of the food they make. If you got one day, you really should book and experience this unique tour!

Super tour inside the culture
Published on Sep, 2024
The agency well organized a tour in the morning to floating market+ cu chi tunnels in the afternoon even if destinations are very far! Perfect organization and good and safe driving. Floating markets are amazing: a good way to understand the culture of those people. I wanted to stay there for a while just seeing people on the river buying things! Amazing breakfast on the boat included!!
