Duy greeted us with genuine kindness and guided us through a day filled with beauty and tradition. The Mekong River cruise was enchanting — shimmering waters, lush coconut groves, and the peaceful rhythm of the boat. At the traditional brick kiln, I was mesmerized watching skilled workers mold bricks with practiced hands, their dedication evident in every detail. The coconut workshop was a feast for the senses: sweet candy, fragrant oil, and intricate crafts. Sampling local specialties felt like tasting the essence of Mekong life. The Xe Loi tuk tuk ride brought bursts of laughter and excitement as we navigated rural roads and village paths. The home-cooked lunch with elephant ear fish was fresh, flavorful, and served in a charming garden. The highlight was the sampan ride — drifting silently through narrow canals, surrounded by the gentle rustle of palms and birdsong. Duy’s stories and warmth made this day unforgettable.
Hannah’s warm personality and in-depth knowledge made the tour truly special. From our boat ride along the winding coconut canals to visiting the ancient brick kiln, every moment was packed with wonder. The sights, sounds, and smells of the Mekong came alive as we visited the coconut workshop — the sweet fragrance of boiling sugar and the taste of fresh coconut candy were unforgettable. The handmade mat weaving village offered a glimpse into traditional crafts, and Hannah’s encouragement made trying my hand at weaving fun. Riding the Xe Loi tuk tuk was an exhilarating way to explore quiet villages and stunning countryside. The home-cooked elephant ear fish lunch felt like a lovingly prepared family meal, eaten under a shady garden canopy. The peaceful sampan rowing through calm canals was the perfect end to a day full of discovery. Hannah’s passion for her culture was inspiring.
