    Worth the early start

    I’m not a morning person but getting up this early was worth it. We had a great time exploring the floating market and the Mekong Canals. Our tour guide Y was super nice and had lots of informative details about the market, the live in Mekong delta and the noodle production with very good English knowledge. The breakfast and snacks were very delicious. Nice and friendly atmosphere in a smaller Sampa with another two people. I would definitely recommend.Especially when you’re not interesting in going on a big, touristy boat.

    Definitely worth it!

    We have had a really nice morning exploring the Floating Market and rice noodle house with the assistance of Duy. He is very kind, knows much information about everything and makes sure you are having a great time. The food (three meals/snacks) are really nice. Would recommend this to everyone!
