5.00Really authentic and super recommended tour! At Ben Tre we discovered the artisanal workings of coconut up close and experienced a beautiful ride on the Mekong, a simple and pleasant but very engaging experience. Special thanks to An, our guide: super competent, helpful and cooperative even before the tour, helping us with the organization since we left independently from Ho Chi Minh. During the day it was engaging and explanatory, it made us really understand life in the delta, with passion. A perfect tour
A wonderful experience

5.00A wonderful custom experience that brings you into the real lives of the people. This was a highlight of our trip, memories we'll never forget. The type of trip tourists are actually looking for when they visit Vietnam.
Lovely trip on the Mekong River it at the same time had a touch of elegance.

5.00Absolutely wonderful trip on a sailing boat with a touch of northern Vietnam( the boat had got sailing as in Halong Bay. I needed a walk on the river outside too much and tourist gøgl. It's just perfect. Could relax on a back chair while walking on one and the canals in the delta. Cute guide with very great knowledge and captain as well. I was picked up at the hotel on a motorcycle and driven out to the river our cruise began. I can definitely recommend.
Very Great Time in Ben tre

5.00We had the nicest full day tour in the Ben Tre area. As a family of 4 with young kids, we were a bit worried about spending many hours touring, but the pace and the diversity of experiences was just perfect to entertain with activities, discover amazing places and landscapes, learn with detailed and knowledgeable explanations and also have some time to rest and recharge. Special thanks to An and Vu, our guides, who were such great hosts, took great care of our family and made our day memorable.
