Can Tho Rice Noodle Factory & Villages
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.
Chris led us on a late afternoon journey that was both relaxing and insightful. He has a special gift for storytelling, and he made the floating market feel alive even in its quieter hours. The village walk felt genuine and untouched — no shops, no staged scenes, just real life and kind people. The small canal was the highlight for me: sunlight reflecting on the water, the gentle movement of the sampan, and the stillness all around. This was not just a tour — it was a moment of connection with something slower and more meaningful.
We joined Hannah for the 5 AM tour and what an experience it was. The sky turned pink as we arrived at the floating market, and Hannah painted vivid pictures of its past and present. The breakfast noodles we had from a local boat were the best we tasted in Vietnam. Hannah even arranged vegetarian options for us, which we really appreciated. The walk in the village was peaceful, with so much greenery and warm greetings from locals. The canal section was the final touch — calm, lush, and deeply beautiful.
