    Coconut, Canals, and Pure Joy

    I loved every bit of this day – from the moment Duy greeted us in HCMC to when we arrived in Can Tho. He was energetic, funny, and so good at adapting the tour to our interests.

    I learned a lot about coconuts – who knew you could make wine from it? The xe lôi was bumpy but beautiful, and the hand-rowed sampan was just serene.

    Lunch was delicious, and I appreciated that everything felt authentic and made with care. This is a tour I’d recommend to anyone looking to get off the beaten track without sacrificing comfort.

    Perfect introduction to the Mekong Delta

    As a first-time visitor to Vietnam, I wanted a one-day experience that would show me more than just cities. This tour absolutely delivered.

    Hannah was so friendly and well-prepared. She taught us about coconut culture, local industries, and the way people live in Ben Tre – all without it ever feeling like a lecture.

    The sampan ride was peaceful, the xe lôi ride was fun, and the lunch in the garden was delicious. I arrived in Can Tho wishing I had signed up for two more days.
