    Unexpectedly moving

    I’ve been to Vietnam before, but this was the first time I did something beyond the “usual” Mekong activities—and I’m so glad I did.

    David was an excellent guide. He had such a calm, gentle energy and answered all of our questions with care.

    The flower village was peaceful and beautiful—rows upon rows of tropical flowers in colors I didn’t even know existed. David gave great context on the local lifestyle there.

    Xeo Quyt forest honestly left a deep impression on me. The stillness, the towering trees, and knowing what had once happened there—it was humbling.

    I also really appreciated visiting the Huynh Thuy Le house. Even though I hadn’t read The Lover, David’s explanation made the story resonate.

    This tour touched more than just the senses—it touched the heart. Thank you, David.

    Un día especial en el delta

    Tuvimos la suerte de tener a Chris como guía en esta excursión, y fue una experiencia fantástica de principio a fin. Muy amable, organizado y con muchos conocimientos.

    El pueblo de flores en Sadec fue como caminar por un jardín encantado, lleno de colores y perfumes. Chris nos explicó el valor económico y cultural de las flores en esta región, lo cual fue muy interesante.

    Después visitamos el bosque de Xeo Quyt. Nunca había estado en un lugar así: árboles enormes, canales tranquilos, y restos de la historia escondidos entre la vegetación. La sensación era muy especial.

    La casa de Huynh Thuy Le fue una sorpresa agradable. Había oído hablar de la novela “El Amante”, y estar en el lugar real fue muy emotivo.

    El almuerzo fue delicioso y muy auténtico. ¡Gracias Chris por este día tan completo!
