If you want a tour that isn’t as touristy as the others, this one is perfect. We went to Phong Dien first which does not have as many vendors, but it was well worth it. After the first floating market, we went to Cai Rang. The whole experience was unforgettable. From our driver, Vung, who was right on time, to our tour guide, Gin (and tonic) who was knowledgeable, friendly, and a great photographer, as well as our boat driver who was hilarious, we had an awesome time that was a once in a lifetime experience.

We took this tour in October 2024 with Nga. She is an absolutely amazing guide - she is knowledgeable, thoughtful, organized, fun, and speaks very good English. Her tours are a must!

You have to get up very early for this tour, but it’s absolutely worth it. The tour guide, An, is very knowledgeable of the area and the boat skipper has got to be one of the most badass ladies I have ever seen anywhere in the world. As are pretty much all the people (mostly women) who still go about their lives and trades on houseboats and barges in the Mekong delta. A unique and fascinating experience into a slowly disappearing world. Go see it while it still exists.

First of all, thank you so much to our tour guide An, our boat driver, and Khoi who drove us from HCM to the floating market! They were all so lovely! An provided us with lots of information as she is one of the people who grew up in the floating market. Hearing her stories was very interesting. We got to visit Phuong Dien floating market which was a small market but we love going to places that aren’t too popular as tourists attractions so this was exactly what we wanted to experience. Next we headed to Cai Rang floating market by boat (on hour ride? Might be tough for those who get sick on transportation) this market was very crowded by trading boats and we got to see people washing clothes and living on the boats, great experience. Next we went to a noodles factory and coconut candy factory. We got to experience noodle making. Then we went to see local farms and An explained to us what each plant is, she is so informative! Lastly we cruised along the Mekong delta and what I loved about this part is that we were taken to an area with no other tourist! Feels so special because all the photos I’ve seen on social media #mekongdelta was crowded by tourists. A suggested if we want to go and see trading in floating markets around lunch, but we were already super happy with our experience and decided to go back to our hotel. We got lots more than mentioned in the itinerary, such a wonderful tour. We stayed in HCM so we paid an extra 2,000,000vnd on the day for a car ride from the hotel in HCM. We departed at 2:30am which was early but definitely worth waking up early! (Plus the car is super comfortable enough to sleep)

We absolutely loved the floating markets in can tho and would definitely recommend for anyone that is near can tho or Ho Chi Minh. The tour guide took us down the river and to a bunch of different boats selling food and stores on the river. We opted for a shorter tour that was around 3 hours, starting our tour around 6am and thought it was the perfect amount of time to see the markets without spending too much time on the river. The experience was very cultural and definitely a must see for anyone traveling to this area.
