Una giornata ben pianificata, senza stress. Anche se la guida ci ha raggiunti a Mỹ Tho, tutto è filato liscio. Hannah è stata dolcissima e ci ha raccontato molte cose interessanti su cultura, religione e vita quotidiana. La gita in barca è stata rilassante, e la parte più sorprendente è stata la visita al villaggio meno turistico — finalmente qualcosa di autentico. I frutti, la musica tradizionale e il pranzo con il pesce orecchia d’elefante sono stati momenti da ricordare. Raccomando vivamente questo tour!
ホーチミンからの日帰りで、メコンの自然と文化を満喫できました。ドライバーさんが時間通りに迎えに来てくれて、途中のヴィンチャン寺院も見応えがありました。ガイドのDuyさんはとても丁寧で、わかりやすく説明してくれました。ココナッツのお菓子作りや試食、果物とお茶、伝統音楽も体験できて、盛りだくさん。手漕ぎボートでのんびりした川を進む時間はとても癒されました。昼食も本格的で美味しかったです。素敵な思い出になりました。
