I booked the Ben Tre tour on a whim and it turned out to be one of the best parts of my trip. Minh was an excellent guide — calm, clear, and super respectful. The mix of boat rides, hands-on experiences, and the countryside exploration was perfect. The coconut wine we tasted was surprisingly good! I also loved how this tour wasn’t rushed — we had time to talk to people, relax, and enjoy the moment. Everything felt real and not touristy. Absolutely worth it.
This was my favorite day in the Mekong Delta. I didn’t expect to be so emotionally moved by the experience. Thomas, our guide, made everything feel special. He shared local stories, introduced us to villagers, and gave us time to truly soak it all in. Watching a mat being woven by hand and riding the Xe Loi past rice paddies was unforgettable. I still think about the serenity of the coconut canals. It was the kind of travel that stays with you.
