    An unforgettable dive into the Delta

    I didn’t expect to fall in love with Can Tho, but this tour made it happen.
    David was outstanding – always ready with stories, facts, and laughs. The sunrise market was gentle and real, not full of other tourists.
    The rice noodle family was lovely – watching them work with such care and dedication was inspiring. Their noodle pizza was surprisingly good!
    Riding through the quiet countryside was a dream. And that cacao milk? I wish I could take gallons home.
    If you’re in the Mekong, don’t miss this tour – it will stay in your heart.

    Der perfekte Morgen in Südvietnam

    Ein wundervoller Start in den Tag! Lâm war nicht nur ein hervorragender Guide, sondern auch ein Geschichtenerzähler.
    Der schwimmende Markt war ein einzigartiges Erlebnis – bunt, lebendig, authentisch. Wir frühstückten auf dem Boot mit einer köstlichen Nudelsuppe und frischer Ananas.
    Besonders gefallen hat mir die ruhige Bootsfahrt durch kleine Kanäle – so friedlich!
    Später radelten wir durch grüne Dörfer und Obstgärten, und ich habe noch nie so viele verschiedene Pflanzen auf einmal gesehen.
    Auf der Kakaofarm habe ich gelernt, wie man Schokolade macht – so spannend!
    Danke, Lâm, für diesen perfekten Morgen!
