It's amazing how well Giang organizes this tour, making such a great effort to make all of us learn, experience, eat, smile a lot. He has great knowledge, sense of humor, and is really taking care of us from the beginning until the very end of the tour. (He also took many pictures of us, which will be shared right after the tour! Great memories) Usually guests are small numbers (around 4 to 6 people) and this is great size on the small boat. Not only the Floating Market but we also had a chance to go Cacao Farm and Rice paper factory! There are many so-called "floating market" tours in Can Tho but you do not need to look further, just book with this great authentic tour. メコンデルタの水上マーケットのツアーは数が多くてどれにすれば良いか考えますが、もしこのツアーを見ている方がいらっしゃったら、是非予約して水上マーケット、ライスペーパー工場、カカオファームを満喫されてください。ガイドさんは豊富な知識を思う存分提供してくださり、笑いのセンスがあり、気遣いができる方なので、初めてメコンデルタやカントーに訪れる方でも素敵な体験ができると思います。他の会社が運営している水上マーケットだと、20名程が一度に乗る大型ボートで、水上マーケットの卸商人や農家さんの小型ボートは遠く感じますが、このツアーは数名（4～6名）の小型ボートで行くので、地元の人々の生活が身近に感じ、本当に貴重な体験ができます。ボートで食べるご飯は、おいしいですよ！ツアーは基本、英語で紹介されますが、わからなければゆっくり話してくれたり、写真を見せてくれたり、何度も伝えてくれますので、ご心配なく！Slava K

Hi, we just came back from a Mekong Delta tour where we had the best guide ever Jiang Ruan and his friend Nhuong. Both of them are very knowledgeable, kind and friendly doing their maximum to show us the authenticity of Mekong Delta life. This was the first experience where I felt like a honest guest and friend and not just a walking wallet. The whole trip was perfectly planed and prepared, we got so many new information and experiences but it wasn’t exhausting like the other tours can be. I can’t thank enoughnamibian_kat

We had a brilliant tour with Yan on the Mekong Delta. Yan was a super fun host who made sure that all his guests had a brilliant time. The tour was as promised and so much more. It was almost a food tour - we got to try so many great bites! This isn’t your average tourist tour. Unlike many other tour reviews in this area mentioned, we weren’t encouraged or asked to buy anything. No one tried to force anything on us. The group size is small (max 6) and the boat is small and authentic. The lady who drives the boat is so sweet and prepares a few surprises along the way. Yes, the places you visit are touristy. But they’re a good kind of touristy. Interesting and fun. We learnt a thing or two, saw some beautiful sights and had a great time. Yes there is a lot of trash on the Delta. That’ll be the same on every tour though. It’s still worth going though. It’s been one of our favorite experiences in Viet Nam. This tour is highly recommended to everyone!
