I joined this tour solo and was a little unsure what to expect, but Danh made it feel like traveling with a friend—relaxed but super professional.
The flower village was beautiful, of course, but what stood out was seeing the locals working so skillfully with the plants. Danh explained how families pass down these gardening traditions, and it gave the whole place a sense of living heritage.
Then we headed to Xeo Quyt, which felt like a hidden world. I’d never seen a flooded forest like that—massive trees, tangled vines, and utter silence as we glided through. It was both eerie and peaceful.
The house from The Lover was a nice cultural break, and Danh’s storytelling brought the place to life. The lunch was in a quiet garden, great flavors and nothing too heavy.
This tour feels like a secret you want to keep but know you should share.
Minh was an outstanding guide from the moment he greeted us at our hotel. He was clear, knowledgeable, and had a warm presence that made the day flow so smoothly.
The flower village in Sadec was more than just photogenic—it was deeply peaceful. Minh shared how the villagers cultivate the flowers and how each type carries a different meaning. It gave the visit an extra depth.
Xeo Quyt was the biggest surprise of the day. The sampan ride was incredibly serene, but the knowledge that we were passing old Viet Cong bunkers added gravity to the calm. Minh gave us just enough context without overwhelming us—perfect balance.
I especially appreciated the Huynh Thuy Le house visit. As a fan of Marguerite Duras, standing in the actual house from The Lover was surreal. The lunch afterward was light, fresh, and full of flavor.
Highly recommended for anyone wanting a calm but profound experience in the Mekong.
