Vom Hotel abgeholt um 5 Uhr morgens – und es hat sich absolut gelohnt.
Hannah war freundlich, informativ und immer aufmerksam.
Der schwimmende Markt war ein Erlebnis – nicht überfüllt, sondern echt und ruhig.
Das Reispapier? Nein – es ging um Reismehl-Nudeln, farbig und köstlich.
Die Kanäle waren wie aus einem Märchenbuch – still, grün, voller Leben.
Das Radfahren war gemütlich und bot tolle Einblicke ins lokale Leben.
Und dann die Kakaofarm – ein Highlight! Frische Kakaomilch, interessante Geschichten.
Große Empfehlung für alle, die Vietnam wirklich erleben möchten.
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.
