The experience

You start with Vietnamese fresh spring rolls and grapefruit pudding, then head to An Binh traditional market to try banh xeo (the seven-ingredient pancake Can Tho is known for). The tour moves through the city's religious landmarks (Ong pagoda and Munirangsyaram pagoda, both symbols of Can Tho) before stopping at Ninh Kieu Quay. You'll also visit Can Tho University on the route.

The food component is hands-on: you make nem nuong (spring rolls) yourself, then move into the evening when the night market comes alive. Crab noodle and a dessert round out the meal. Private transportation and an English-speaking guide are with you the whole time, and every meal and drink along the way is included in the price.

The tour wraps around 8pm, so it fits into an afternoon you have free without eating into your evening plans. If you can ride a motorbike yourself, you have the option to use one instead of sitting in a vehicle. If not, the private car keeps you moving between stops.
