I didn’t want another cookie-cutter tour. This was something else. From the moment Minh met us with his big smile and calm energy, I knew we were in for something special.
The floating market wasn’t just a stop — it was a moving village. The noodle house felt like being in someone’s kitchen. The biking trail was pure gold — mango trees, hidden paths, and even a monkey bridge! And then the giant ficus tree, haunting and majestic.
Lunch was homey and satisfying. Minh gave us the Mekong, not as a place, but as a feeling. Thanks, mate.
Je recommande vivement ce tour. Dès les premiers instants sur le marché flottant, on sent que l’on va vivre quelque chose de vrai. On goûte, on échange des regards, on découvre la vie fluviale.
Le passage par les rivières étroites est paisible et poétique, puis le vélo — quel bonheur ! Le chemin traverse des endroits magnifiques, loin des touristes, avec des rencontres simples et touchantes. Le jardin de fruits et la ferme de cacao sont de vrais bijoux.
Hannah connaît très bien la région et sait la faire aimer. Merci pour cette belle parenthèse.
