    A Day of Hidden Beauty and Genuine Smiles

    This was one of the most authentic experiences I’ve had in Vietnam. Picked up early in Can Tho, we reached Vinh Long and met Minh, who led us through a rich and beautiful day. I was mesmerized by the brick kilns and impressed by how these traditional methods are still relevant today. The trek gave me a deeper look into rural life, and the coconut candy workshop added a bit of fun. The best moment? Sitting on the sampan in total silence, just watching nature glide by.

    The Real Mekong: Unfiltered and Unforgettable

    This one-day tour offered a real slice of life in the Mekong Delta. After a smooth pick-up in Can Tho, we met David in Vinh Long. He was not only knowledgeable but really thoughtful in the way he told stories about the people and places. The kilns along the Thay Cai canal were awe-inspiring. The walk through the village was full of surprises—local kids playing, chickens running around, brick makers greeting us with warm smiles. The lunch cruise and sampan were the cherry on top.
