The Can Tho motorbike tour with our guide, Lam, was an unforgettable adventure. Visiting the Binh Thuy ancient house gave us a glimpse into the fascinating history and culture of the Mekong Delta, especially with its connection to the famous movie “The Lover.” Riding across the river to see the giant ficus tree, once a secret Viet Cong base, was so intriguing. We even relaxed at a cozy riverside café with fresh coconut juice. The highlight for me was tasting the delicious shrimp and duck pancake in a lively food area—truly a feast for the senses! Quang was friendly, knowledgeable, and made sure we were comfortable throughout the ride. Highly recommend this tour for anyone looking to explore Can Tho off the beaten path.
David is one of those guides who feels more like an old friend. He made jokes, shared personal stories, even introduced us to his cousin who runs the cacao farm. The day was full of small details — dragonflies by the canals, a grandfather napping under a tree, kids chasing a dog barefoot. The Binh Thuy house was elegant but also strangely melancholic. David said it was like Vietnam itself — proud, layered, and carrying ghosts. I liked that. The ficus tree was powerful. Not in a flashy way — but in a way that made you stop and listen. Then came the food: smoky pancakes, herbs that burst with flavor, cold beer in plastic cups. I wish I could bottle that moment. I tried writing about it in my travel journal later that night, but it didn’t come close.
