    The Most Romantic Experience in Vietnam

    Minh made sure every moment of our journey was intimate and unforgettable. After viewing the impressive Can Tho Bridge, we visited an old, nearly forgotten brick kiln — Minh shared personal stories of his childhood memories there, making it even more touching. But the hidden canals were the crown jewel. The light of the setting sun shimmering on the water, the laughter of children, the taste of juicy dragon fruit… it was like living inside a painting. Minh’s gentle demeanor made us feel like guests, not tourists. Highly recommend!

    Beyond My Wildest Expectations

    With Lâm as our guide, this afternoon sampan ride far exceeded anything I had imagined. Sailing under the enormous Can Tho Bridge, I felt tiny compared to its grandeur. The brick kiln was like stepping back a century — Lâm explained the entire handmade process, and it was fascinating. But it was the peaceful backwaters that stole my heart: lush greenery, smiling faces, playful splashes, and the gentle rocking of the sampan. Eating local fruits while the Mekong whispered around us was pure bliss. Thank you, Lâm, for such heartfelt guidance!
