    Un petit voyage magique

    J’ai adoré cette excursion. Lâm est un guide formidable, très doux et passionné. On a découvert des choses simples mais fascinantes : comment on fait des briques, comment on tisse des nattes, comment le coco est utilisé de mille façons. La balade en sampan était magique, comme une parenthèse paisible dans la jungle verte. Merci pour ce moment inoubliable.

    So Much in So Little Time

    I couldn’t believe how much we experienced in just a few hours. Coconut candy making, brick kilns, mat weaving, tuk tuk ride, two kinds of boats, and a wonderful home-cooked lunch. Hannah was very attentive and made the tour feel personal. The pace was just right. This is the perfect way to fill half a day in Ben Tre without it feeling rushed.
