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.
If you want a tour that feels both alive and peaceful, this is it. Guide Duy made everything flow naturally — from breakfast on the river to cycling through quiet backroads. The floating market was chaotic in the best way, while the canals afterward were pure tranquility. On the bike, I loved the mix of sunlight, breeze, and the smell of tropical fruit. The ficus tree, once used by Viet Cong fighters, was haunting yet fascinating. And that cacao milk… mon dieu, I could drink it every morning! I left the tour feeling both moved and refreshed.
Guide Lâm was such a legend — calm, funny, and full of heart. We started with the floating market and he pointed out details I’d never notice: why boats display their products, how families actually live on them. Then the cycling part kicked in, and wow — 12 km through real Mekong life! We stopped to taste fruits from a homegrown garden, and it felt like visiting friends, not strangers. The war story under the giant ficus tree was powerful. Ending the day sipping cacao milk, sweaty but smiling, I thought: this is Vietnam unfiltered.
