If you told me last week I’d willingly wake up before 5 AM on holiday, I’d have laughed. But this tour with Thomas made it all worth it.
We cruised to the floating market as the sun slowly rose – a soft, glowing start to the day. Watching locals trade pineapples and noodles was fascinating.
The noodle factory was a real gem – nothing commercial, just family, fire, and fragrant food.
Small canals gave me a deep sense of calm, and the bike ride after was scenic and peaceful.
I’m now a cacao milk addict.
Thomas, thanks for making my last day in Vietnam unforgettable!
We had a wonderful morning with Lâm. Everything was well-organized and felt very personal.
The floating market was not busy like the photos you see online, but that made it even more special. It was real, not a performance.
I loved visiting the noodle family – the colors, the smell, the kindness of the people.
The best part for me was the quiet canals. No noise, just the paddle and birds.
Cycling through the countryside was relaxing, and the cacao farm was very interesting – I didn’t know cacao could be used for skin care!
Grazie mille, Lâm!
