December 6, 2021 Darleen Reid

Can Tho is the main city of the Mekong Delta, the "nine dragon river delta" where the Mekong River empties into the South China Sea. It's also the main transportation center for the region. The extensive canals make for a pleasant boat ride, and the nearby floating markets offer authentic goods and exotic local fruit. *Fly into Ho Chi Minh City International Airport where you can take a car or van (approximately 4 hours) to Can Tho.

Mekong Delta is a water world where boats, houses, markets float upon the numerous rivers, canals that traverse the landscape like channels. Incredibly lush, with paddy field vistas and mangroves, and full of local life, with chaotic floating markets to explore by boat, the delta is one of the most interesting regions for travelers. However, if your travel plan is too tight, you don’t have the luxury of having enough time to pay attention to every destination, we would suggest that you prioritize the point with the biggest impact, and how to make use of available 1 day to make the experience a smoother one. Thus, we shall pick Cai Rang floating market tour. This shall be a tremendous trip for a couple, families, groups and individuals, a “must do” for all that are visiting the Southern part of Vietnam. Even though the big cities in Vietnam are cool, the relaxing spots like this are where the real charm is, we reckon! Cai Rang floating market must be a sight not to be missed.

Inclusions: A/c van picks up and drop off (centrally located hotel), Boat trip, English speaking guide, All entrance fees, Breakfast and Big Lunch (set menu), Drinking water and Tissue

Exclusions: Personal expenses, Tips/gratuities for a local guide., Travel insurance

I had a wonderful time doing the Night Food Tour. Kevin, my guide, took me to five different food places. At each restaurant, I was able to try their signature dishes. Delicious. I would not have known about these restaurants without the tour. And along the way, Kevin gave us many other city recommendations. Fabulous tour. Come hungry. Kevin, I am sorry for not reviewing the trip sooner due to a long travel list. Hope you are all good too these days. Be safe

This was a fantastic tour! Ram introduced us to some amazingly tasty vegan dishes which we would never have found ourselves. The food stops took us through a variety of interesting neighbourhoods in the heart of the city giving us a much greater insight into the real Saigon than any standard tourist tour. Ram is a mine of information about Vietnamese history and culture and we really enjoyed finding out more about daily life in Saigon. Very good value and highly recommended!
