When people ask me what to see in Mekong today. I tell them view our MekongDelta365.
Nowadays, there are more and more green and responsible tours which are meaningful and educational as well. This is why Can Tho noodle factory is getting popular for both Vietnamese and foreigners to come and explore the cuisine culture and the typical local life in Can Tho, Mekong Delta.
What a beautiful, immersive experience! Duy guided us through every step with kindness and deep local knowledge. I especially loved the contrast between the busy floating market and the serene canals later on.
We biked through tiny village paths, met friendly locals, and tasted fruits I’d never seen before. The cacao farm was both educational and fun – and the cacao milk was a dream.
This tour felt like five trips in one morning – but somehow never rushed. Highly recommend it to anyone who wants to go beyond the tourist trail.
Je recommande à 1000% ce tour ! Hannah était une guide exceptionnelle, passionnée et attentive. Le marché flottant au lever du soleil était hors du temps. On a dégusté une soupe de nouilles sur le bateau avec les locaux – un moment inoubliable.
J’ai adoré la balade en petit bateau à travers les canaux paisibles, avec les palmiers d’eau tout autour. Puis, on a fait une superbe balade à vélo à travers les villages et les jardins fruitiers.
La ferme de cacao était très intéressante, j’ai même acheté du chocolat local.
Merci encore Hannah pour cette matinée magique, pleine d’authenticité et de douceur.
