We boekten deze tour als aanvulling op ons verblijf in Can Tho, en het werd een van de mooiste dagen van onze reis. Onze gids, Thomas, sprak rustig maar gepassioneerd over de streek en nam echt de tijd voor alles.
Het bloemen dorp in Sadec was adembenemend – een zee van kleuren en geuren, heel fotogeniek maar ook authentiek. Geen drukte, gewoon mensen die met liefde hun planten verzorgen.
Daarna bezochten we het Xeo Quyt bos. In stilte op een roeibootje door het water glijden, tussen de bomen, met de kennis dat dit ooit een schuilplaats was in oorlogstijd… dat liet echt indruk achter.
Het huis van Huynh Thuy Le en de tempel waren prachtige culturele stops. Alles was goed gepland, met een heerlijke lunch op een rustige plek.
Dank je wel, Thomas, voor deze magische dag.
This was probably the most surprising and emotionally rich tour we’ve done in the Mekong Delta. Hannah was our guide, and she was absolutely brilliant—thoughtful, organized, and very kind.
The flower village was a gentle start to the day, but it really set the mood for what was to come. The rows of orchids, marigolds, and tropical flowers felt like a secret garden.
Then Xeo Quyt blew us away. Floating on a little sampan through dense flooded forest with only the sound of water and birds… and then realizing that hidden bunkers were scattered all around. It was surreal.
Later, we visited the house that inspired The Lover. It was a beautiful building, and Hannah’s explanation gave depth to the experience. The lunch was satisfying and tasty—true Vietnamese home-cooking.
I’d recommend this tour to anyone who wants more than just a touristy excursion.
