Unforgettable Cai Rang: Floating Market & Secret Canals (7 Hrs)

Awesome guide & itinerary. So much fun, regardless you go solo. Guide is informative & fun to talkto. Itunerary covers hotspots you wouldn’t want to miss.

Chris was our personal tour guide for this 5-6 hour long tour. It was long but we never felt tired and it was worth every penny! Chris (Minh Nhật) is a local enthusiastic young man and we were so lucky he was our guide! He was professional, friendly, helpful and informative. The tour started with a pickup from our hotel, getting on the small boat driven by a kind older lady. She's been driving boats for 30-40 years and was very skilled at maneuvering around the river. We boated over to Chợ Nổi Cái Răng (Cai Rang Floating Market), while Chris shared various tidbits of history and meaning behind the river, the people living on the boats and the market. We enjoyed fresh cafe sữa đá (Vietnamese iced coffee with sweetened condensed milk) and fresh squeezed orange juice from a man on another boat, then got to enjoy a lovely bowl of hủ tiếu noodle (veggie or meat) for breakfast while the sun rose over us. It was magical. Chris then showed us one of the families that lives in a set of 4 house boats on the river, while enjoying fresh cut local fruit. After this we went down a small canal to check out water coconut and then another one to go to the small noodle factory. At the noodle factory we learned how noodles we were made from rice flour and tapioca starch, steamed, dried then cut. We bought some unique colored noodles here made with dragon fruit, butterfly pea flower, turmeric and pandan leaf. The tour continued with a visit to a local cacao farm where the owner and his family walked us through the process of growing cacao beans to processing them into final products. We got to taste the chocolate along the way and were wowed by the rich intensity of the cacao. We finished the tour with a lovely 1 hour-ish boat ride back to our hotel. Chris and the boat driver (Mung) made this one of the most amazing and unique tours we've been on. Would highly recommend this to anyone!!

A fantastic day through the floating markets breakfast and fruit platter, through the canals, cocoa plantation and the noodle factory and with a great guide Ninth thank you for a great day Craig and Elaine

We booked this tour on short notice, and everything went smoothly; communication with the agency was prompt and efficient. We had a great morning experiencing the floating market, cacao farm and rice noodle production. Our guide Thinh was very attentive and knowledgeable, providing a lot of information on everything we saw. He even took some great pictures of us that he sent us at the end. All of the food (soup, coffee, fruit) he got for us at the market was delicious. 100% recommend. Thank you Thinh! ❤️

Full on all day tour starting at 5.30am to catch the sunrise on the river. Breakfast on our boat in the floating market was a real treat. Both the noodle factory and cocoa farm were well worth including and then an hour car ride to the nature reserve, not so much wildlife, but did see a snake. Edward was a great guide and kept us amused all day with his jokes.

Very nice guide who explained a lot and the experience is amazing too. We will definitely recommend this tour to someone who come in Cần Thơ !

We were taken round the floating markets and further inside through the canals by our guide Think. We had a fantastic experience and Think took time to teach us all about the local culture. It was an unforgettable experience and I would highly recommend anyone who visits Can Tho to try this. You start early in the morning so you have the rest of the day to yourself. Thank you Think for a fantastic experience

This was my first time visiting can tho and Mekong river. I am very amazed by the thriving markets and the local businesses in addition to the beautiful nature of this river. With the help of our tour guide, Ms. Tri, we were able to visit and experience many exciting activities such as visiting the noodle factory and eating authentic Vietnamese breakfast in a short amount of time.

It was a fantastic experience of the Cai Rang market and local culture. We had a great tour guide, Cris, who was fluent in English, very knowledgeable and fun. Highly recommended.

Great tour guide Thinh he shared with us his knowledge of the local area and the ins and outs of the floating market! Would recommend to everyone
