Secret Bangkok: Hidden Floating Market & Authentic Canals

We had an unforgettable floating market experience in Cần Thơ this morning with Thi — and let me tell you, this is the real deal, not one of those make-believe tourist markets like in Bangkok or Cambodia. Here, life truly flows with the river. The locals buy and sell fruits, vegetables, and all sorts of goods right from their boats, just as they’ve done for generations. Such warmth, hospitality, and genuine smiles from the people of Cần Thơ. Their spirit and simplicity remind me why I love coming back to this part of Vietnam. Life here is pure, full of heart, and beautifully afloat.

Daisy was an absolutely amazing tour guide! For travellers with coeliac disease, tours like this can be daunting, but Daisy made sure all our food was safe and delicious! The small canal was an incredible experience and making rice noodles was an absolute highlight. We could not recommend this experience more highly.

I had the best day on this tour! My favourite day in Vietnam so far. My guide Thinh was such good company and taught me so much about local customs. I’m so glad he was my guide. We spent time seeing the floating village, went down the canals, made noodles, had breakfast and visited a houseboat too. My boat driver also made me some beautiful handmade souveniers.

This has been an amazing experience, we have bought and eaten our breakfast from our small boat. Thanks to our guide Edward for giving us many insights on this historic market.

Thinh was a wonderful guide. His English is great and he was extremely knowledgeable about all aspects of the tour. The tour was an amazing authentic experience and I highly recommend it!

We did the early morning boat tour to the floating markets and it was amazing ! It was such a great experience to do and our guide took us to the best food sports around the market. Our guide spoke amazing English so was very easy to communicate and he was very loveley. 10/10 recommend, thank you !

Great trip. The floating market was very interesting and ate some great food. The tour guide was great and provided lots of information about the market

We had a great experience with Edward. He kept our family engaged and showed us around a lot of different places that we would not have found on our own. Would recommend this tour.

Private tour for 4 people. Exceptional guide Edward; great English, good knowledge and fun. Much more in depth than the bigger group tours on bigger vessels. Would thoroughly recommend.
