    Slow Life on the River

    Thomas was such a chilled and thoughtful guide. I loved how this tour didn’t feel rushed or commercial at all. Floating fish farms were fascinating, and chatting with the locals was the best part. The flying fish thing? So fun. Kids would love it too! Then the garden—walking under all those fruit trees with sunshine pouring through the leaves… unforgettable. This is the kind of tour that makes you feel like you belong in the place, not just passing through.

    Gente vera, storie vere, frutti veri

    Una delle esperienze più autentiche del mio viaggio in Vietnam. David ci ha guidati tra case galleggianti e orti tropicali con grande passione. Parlare con i pescatori e vedere il famoso spettacolo dei pesci volanti è stato divertente e sorprendente. Ma il momento migliore? Raccogliere e assaggiare frutti freschissimi sotto l’ombra degli alberi. Non è solo un tour, è un incontro umano.
