    Great Tour, Morning Session is the Best

    The tour was well-paced, and our guide was very knowledgeable. I loved seeing the floating market in action. However, I took the 9 AM tour and some vendors left. If you want the full experience, go for the early morning slot! Our guide, Duy, was incredibly attentive and always made sure everyone was comfortable and engaged. He even helped us get the best photos

    Totally Worth the Early Wake-Up – A Must-Do in Vietnam

    Waking up at 5 AM was totally worth it! The floating market was an unforgettable experience, and the breakfast on the boat made it even more special. The small canal ride was peaceful, and the village walk was a great way to end the tour. I highly recommend this for anyone visiting Vietnam! Our guide, Lam, was charming, friendly, and had a great sense of humor, which made the early morning wake-up much easier
