    The bike ride stole the show

    I joined mostly for the floating market, but I left with my mind blown by the biking route. Minh was full of energy and humor, and he made the day feel like an adventure with a good friend.

    The floating market and noodle stop were a great start — especially the noodle pizza. But the canals and the cycling were next level. Every few minutes we stopped for pictures, fruits, or just to say hi to locals.

    The old VC tree was impressive, and Minh explained its wartime use with passion. Lunch was tasty and truly local. 10/10 tour.

    Peaceful, educational, and full of joy

    This tour had everything — a river market, a quiet canal ride, biking through untouched villages, tropical fruit, wartime history, and the best lunch we had in Vietnam.

    Hannah’s storytelling was heartfelt and personal. She knew every plant, every uncle and auntie in the area. We felt like guests, not tourists.

    I loved the moment we turned off the motor on the sampan and floated in silence, listening to the birds. The biking through the trees was amazing, and the cacao beans tasted so natural.

    It’s not just sightseeing — it’s about touching the real Vietnam.
