Being on the river by 6 AM was magical. The light, the mist, the slow movement of boats — I felt like I was dreaming. Hieu was calm, informative, and truly in love with his region.
The floating market is unlike anything I’ve seen. We bought fruit from a woman balancing on her boat, and she giggled when I tried to speak Vietnamese.
The noodle house was charming. The owners were so warm, and their skills were amazing. The fruit garden was full of smells I’d never experienced before.
But the little sampan ride in narrow canals… that was the soul of the tour. It felt like I was let into a secret part of the world. Loved it all.
Este tour fue una experiencia increíble desde el comienzo hasta el final. Hannah fue amable, atenta y explicó todo con mucho cariño.
El mercado flotante es algo único, auténtico. Probamos piña fresca directamente desde el barco. No había turistas en exceso, se sentía muy real.
La casa de los fideos fue muy interesante — todo el proceso artesanal, y la comida deliciosa.
El paseo en bote por los canales pequeños fue relajante, una belleza de paisaje y tranquilidad. El almuerzo fue abundante y delicioso. ¡Gracias por un día inolvidable!
