Spend two days in the Mekong Delta, from coconut canals and village food to Cai Rang Floating Market and a Can Tho overnight stay.

“There are loads of single day options to explore the Mekong Delta which combines other attractions but I opted for this 2Day one even though it costed much more but after just completing it I'm extremely happy with my decision! Our guide was the 'Very Handsome Ben' 🙂 who took great care of us and was very experienced in delivering this tour. Ben was knowledgeable, helpful and patient. The accommodation on Can Tho far exceeded expectations and the driver was fantastic in getting us there and back safely. The tour itself was well paced and I'm not sure how the single day tours are able to deliver the same quality…”

As we were the only ones at that time they arranged for pick up direct from hotel which was a bit outside the city. We had Nhung as our tour guide, she was amazing, funny, kind, passionate and knowledgeable. She took lots of amazing photos of us, she knew the key people on the market to ensure we get good coffee, breakfast, fresh fruit and most importantly a very good boat driver! It was a fantastic morning out and highly recommend it!”
