About Saigon Floating Market Tours

A floating market tour in Saigon gets you on the water before the heat and after the boats gather: a guide handles the sampan, the bargaining and the breakfast order while the delta trades around you.

Floating markets peak between 6 and 8 am and wind down by mid-morning — the dawn start is not optional if you want the real thing.

What Travelers Say

"We had a great tour with our guide Vinh. He was knowledgeable and answered all of our questions. He kept the small group moving but we never felt rushed at any stop. We were able to take pictures and ask questions. Highlights of this tour was Cai Rang market and making pancakes for lunch!"

"Had an absolutely fantastic time on this two day trip with James! From the very start, his energy and enthusiasm were contagious. He went far beyond the standard historical facts, sharing fascinating insights into the local culture, traditions, and the daily lives of the people along the river. He has been the kindest and most gentile tour guide. Also, the Mekong Delta was truly amazing. This experience is highly recommended!"

Laura Italy

"It was so interesting learning about the life in Mekong Delta. Phúc was an excellent guide and made sure the activities were well paced and we all got our sunscreen and mosquito spray on😄 plus enough fruit and hydration. We did lots of small tastings, including snake wine 😱. Loved that the shops we went to were all supporting the local community. No pressure to buy, and when we did we knew it was going to be supporting the local businesses. Overall great tour, even learnt how to cook local cuisine!"

"Our guide Viet was really fun, helpful and informative. The driver was also skillfull and helpful. The activities flowed into each other really well and then we had free time from around 3.30pm to the next morning, which we really appreciated to experience Can Tho on our own. We appreciated the various activities and crafts places visited, bought some nice foods/snacks to bring home. Being frequent visitors of Viet Nam, the only letdown for us was some of the foods offered by the restaurants visited with the tour, we did not find them great, and also a lot was served and a lot was not eaten so we were worried about wasting it but it was really too much to be finished. We recommend this tour and our guide Viet as it was a good time, visiting a lot but without stress and for a good price!"

"We all had a very good time with Lucky our tour guide on this tour. He knows a lot and he's very funny. The places we could have visited were very enjoyable despite the rain. I only regret that most of the activity's time was in fact being in the car."

"An incredible experience with BoHan ♥️ I don't think we could have had a better guide! We'll keep her in our hearts 💘 Young and energetic, kind and helpful, with excellent English, she perfectly conveys her love for her homeland! A tour away from the tourist crowds, an immersive experience of local life and traditions, the most beautiful places at the best time! Thank you so much, BoHan ♥️ you deserve the best in life! We wish you the best of luck with your future projects! We look forward to seeing you in Italy! Your lovely couple 😘"
