    A Perfect Blend of Culture, Nature, and Warm Hospitality

    Our Vinh Long boat tour was an absolute highlight of our Vietnam trip, and I have to give huge credit to our guide Minh for making it exceptional. Minh greeted us warmly at the hotel lobby and immediately made us feel like part of the family. The pottery kiln visit was fascinating — seeing the traditional methods and hearing about the export journey was eye-opening. Cruising past the brick kiln Kingdom was like floating through history; Minh’s stories brought the place alive with vivid detail.

    The village trekking was immersive and peaceful, and Minh’s respectful attitude towards the locals made the experience even more special. The rowing sampan ride on the small canals was a serene escape and gave me the perfect photo opportunity. Sampling local delicacies like coconut candy on An Binh islet was a sweet treat, literally! Lunch on the boat was delicious and relaxing, while cruising the mighty Mekong.

    Minh’s professionalism, friendliness, and deep understanding of the region made this day tour unforgettable. I highly recommend this trip to anyone wanting to experience the Mekong Delta beyond the usual tourist spots.

    An Enchanting Day Exploring Vinh Long’s Timeless Traditions

    This day tour was nothing short of magical! From the very first moment our guide Hieu met us at the Cuu Long B hotel, we felt welcomed and well cared for. Hieu’s passion for the Mekong Delta’s culture was infectious and he shared fascinating stories about the pottery kilns, explaining the intricate handmade process that exports globally. Cruising along the Thay Cai canal and witnessing the historic brick kiln Kingdom was like stepping into a living museum — Hieu’s knowledge made the experience so vivid and meaningful.

    The village trek was one of the highlights for me. Walking through the village, meeting locals, and seeing their traditional lifestyles up close was truly eye-opening. Hieu was patient, friendly, and made sure everyone felt comfortable. The rowing sampan ride was a dream, gliding through the peaceful canals surrounded by lush greenery. The visit to the local workshop on An Binh islet, tasting fresh coconut candy and other treats, brought smiles and joy. Lunch on the boat was relaxing, with the scenic Mekong views adding to the perfect day.

    Thank you, Hieu, for a truly memorable journey that connected me deeply to the heart of the Mekong Delta. I’ll treasure these moments forever!
