    Great mix of river, food and cycling

    Thomas made the whole tour feel smooth and natural. The floating market was the main reason we booked, but I really enjoyed the less touristy parts afterward. The farmer market had so much energy, and the tropical fruits were excellent. The cycling was relaxed and gave us time to look around properly. Crossing by ferry and riding past stilt houses along the canals were two of my favorite moments.

    Una mañana auténtica en Can Tho

    Nos encantó la experiencia. Trinh fue muy clara explicando cómo funciona el mercado flotante y por qué está cambiando con el tiempo. Desayunar en el barco mientras pasaban otras embarcaciones fue algo muy especial. Después, la ruta en bicicleta fue tranquila y fácil, pasando por aldeas, canales y mercados locales. No parecía una excursión masiva, sino una forma cercana de conocer el verdadero Delta del Mekong.
