Duy est un guide chaleureux et passionné. J’ai particulièrement aimé la diversité des plats, du croustillant gâteau aux crevettes aux grillades en bord de rue. Le marché de nuit était vivant et coloré. Une belle manière de découvrir la culture culinaire du Vietnam.

Chill & tasty evening out
Super relaxed and really local. It didn’t feel like a “tour” at all. More like hanging out with a friend who knows all the food secrets of Can Tho. Chris was easygoing and took us to some wild spots — BBQ rat, anyone? Glad I joined!

La mejor noche en el Delta
Estuvimos con Hannah en este tour y fue genial. Comida deliciosa, lugares muy auténticos, y mucha risa en el camino. Recomiendo ir con el estómago vacío porque hay bastante para probar. Al final del recorrido, paseamos por el muelle — un cierre perfecto.

Überraschend, intensiv und lecker!
David war ein großartiger Guide — so viel zu erzählen über Can Tho und das Leben hier. Die Streetfood-Erlebnisse waren super authentisch, besonders das BBQ. Ich hätte nie gedacht, dass ich mal gegrillte Ratte probieren würde, aber es war gar nicht so schlimm 😅 Empfehlung!

You’ll eat, laugh, and learn a lot
Straight up, this was my favorite night in Can Tho. Lam was full of energy and stories — not just about food but also the city’s history. Loved the shrimp cake and even tried a sip of that “medicinal” rice wine. Highly recommend it for anyone who wants more than just a meal — it’s a whole vibe.

Une soirée authentique à Can Tho
Hannah était adorable, très professionnelle mais aussi drôle. J’ai adoré découvrir les spécialités locales, surtout les crevettes frites au début — délicieuses ! Le tour était varié, avec des pauses pour manger, rire, boire, marcher… Vraiment complet.

Lokale Erfahrung
Kurze Review: Viel gegessen, viel gelacht. Minh war mega nett. Highlight: Street BBQ mit Bier und verrücktem Essen. Nichts für schwache Nerven, aber ein Muss in Can Tho.

Unforgettable Can Tho night
Honestly my favourite evening in Vietnam. Not touristy at all. The markets, the smells, the sounds… and the food! I was a bit hesitant about the grilled frog, but it was tasty. Thomas was super funny and knew everyone around — felt like we were with a local celeb 😄
★★★★★
Great intro to Can Tho’s food scene
Good guide, good group, good food. The stops felt really local. We had beer at a little pub I never would’ve found alone. Also, the final walk along the river made for a great ending. Thanks, Duy, for your stories and energy.

Real street food, real fun
I was honestly just expecting to walk around and try a few snacks. But it turned into such a fun night! Chris made everyone feel welcome, and the shrimp cake??? Unreal. Also tried BBQ rat, never thought I would — but hey, life’s about trying new things, right? Can Tho by night is lovely.
