  • Can Tho rice noodle factory (not rice paper)
    Firstly, we do not want you to miss this place. They call it a factory but actually it is run by a family and a lot more authentic than you expect (no shops, no souvenirs). Secondly, the rice noodle is not rice paper. How and Why? Your guide will tell you! You’ll be impressed by the colorful rice noodles, and how fascinating the rice noodles are made by locals. The family will serve you the yummy rice noodle pizza made by the member of the family….

    Experience the Floating Market

    We had a great tour! Meeting right before sunrise so that we would see the sun rise while going to the Floating Market in a Sampan. We tried the local food at the market and did a tour to a rice noodle factory. All along the journey, our tour guide explained to us all about the market and the life in mekong delta in general. He was very thoughtful and very nice! We definitely recommend this tour!
