    Cultural & River Experience All in One

    J’ai adoré cette journée, surtout grâce à notre guide Thomas qui était très à l’écoute. Le rythme de la journée était parfait : un peu d’histoire, de la marche dans un village charmant, un bon repas sur le bateau, et une balade en barque très reposante. Les fours à briques étaient impressionnants et le petit atelier de bonbons à la noix de coco très amusant. Rien de touristique ou surfait — c’était simple, vrai et très bien organisé. Je recommande sans hésiter.

    Delta Discovery in a Day

    I joined this tour with Hannah as our guide, and it was one of the highlights of my Vietnam trip. The brick kilns are truly something else — massive, warm, and steeped in history. I liked that we had a choice to walk or stay on the boat; I took the walk and found it quite rewarding. The boat was clean and comfortable, lunch was excellent, and the coconut candy stop gave a nice glimpse into rural enterprise. The small canal ride with the rowboat was the perfect peaceful moment before heading back. Well-organized and enriching.
