    A Well-Organized Tour with a Knowledgeable Guide

    This tour is well-organized and gives a real taste of Vietnam’s river life. The floating market was interesting, though it wasn’t as crowded as I expected. The nursery plantations in the village were impressive, and the locals were friendly. I just wish we had more time to explore the market! Our guide, Hieu, was patient, knowledgeable, and spoke excellent English. He made sure we understood the history and culture behind everything we saw

    Unforgettable Floating Market Experience with a Fantastic Guide

    A must-do in Vietnam! The floating market was lively, and it was fascinating to see the vendors selling everything from fruits to coffee. The boat ride through the small canal was peaceful, and the village walk gave us a glimpse into local life. Since we took the 5 AM tour, we had a delicious Vietnamese breakfast by the river, which was a lovely touch! Our guide, Minh, was enthusiastic, engaging, and full of interesting stories, making the experience even more enjoyable
