    Nature, food, and locals – an unforgettable morning!

    I didn’t expect to be this moved by a morning tour.
    Thomas made it all so personal and enriching.
    Floating market was peaceful and intimate. I had vegetarian noodle soup made specially – thank you!
    The noodle family were so welcoming. The process was fascinating and the taste amazing.
    The canals were beyond words — gliding through lush palms was like therapy.
    Cycling was easy and the pace was just right. I even got to feed some chickens on the way!
    Cacao milk at the end? Heaven.
    100% recommend this tour to slow down and feel Vietnam.

    Una joya escondida en el corazón del Delta

    ¡Una experiencia que recordaré siempre!
    Lâm nos recogió puntualmente y desde el primer momento sentimos su calidez y conocimiento.
    El mercado flotante fue único, sin aglomeraciones, auténtico.
    El taller de fideos fue encantador, los colores, el olor, y el sabor inolvidable.
    Remar por los canales fue como entrar en otro mundo, silencioso, verde, lleno de vida.
    La parte en bicicleta fue fácil y muy divertida, pasando por caminos rurales y saludando a los locales.
    Y la granja de cacao… ¡delicioso! Probamos leche de cacao natural, muy rica.
    Una mañana perfecta.
