This was one of those quiet but deeply memorable days. From the moment Hannah greeted us at the hotel, I knew we were in good hands. She shared so much about the history of Vinh Long and the traditions tied to brickmaking – it made the experience come alive.
The 45-minute walk in the village was my favorite part — not rushed, not overly touristy. Just real people living their lives. We got to ask questions, see the kilns up close, and feel the heat from the fires! The food was tasty and fresh (loved the fish), and the boat was clean and breezy. I also appreciated that the tour ended early afternoon — it gave us time to rest or explore more. This tour gives you a quiet kind of joy
Che bella esperienza! La giornata è iniziata bene con l’incontro con Danh, una guida gentilissima e competente. Siamo saliti sulla barca per esplorare il fiume e le fornaci di mattoni — sembrava un paesaggio uscito da un film. Danh ci ha spiegato la storia di queste strutture e delle famiglie che le gestiscono da generazioni.
La camminata nel villaggio è stata molto autentica. Abbiamo visto gente lavorare, bambini giocare, e una vita semplice ma intensa. Il pranzo a bordo è stato un momento perfetto per rilassarsi, e il giro in sampan nei canali stretti è stato semplicemente poetico. Tour ben organizzato e molto umano. Grazie Danh!
