    An Authentic Journey through Ben Tre

    What a magical day! Our guide Lam brought such insight and humor to the entire experience – he made the history and culture of the Mekong region so vivid. I was deeply touched by the simplicity and beauty of life along the canals. The brick kiln visit, coconut workshop, and the chance to speak with the mat weavers made this feel like so much more than just a tourist trip. The Xe Loi ride through the villages was a highlight – exhilarating and so fun! It felt like a real window into rural Vietnam. A big thank you to Lam for making this such a memorable journey.

    A True Slice of Local Life

    This Ben Tre tour was one of the most heartwarming and genuine experiences I’ve had in Vietnam. From the moment we were picked up in Ho Chi Minh City, everything was smooth and well-organized. Our guide, Duy, was so warm and knowledgeable – he made the culture come alive for us. I especially loved learning about the coconut products and watching how the locals make coconut candy by hand. The sampan ride through the water coconut canals felt like something from a dream – peaceful, quiet, and absolutely stunning. Lunch with the elephant ear fish was delicious and served in a beautiful garden setting. Highly recommend this tour for anyone wanting to escape the city and connect with the soul of the Mekong.
