We 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.

Great day! We took the pack for a whole day. A very good way to see the whole of Ben Tré while meeting locos and discover different trades (without needing to buy, it's really about discovering), all with a quiet pace. Many thanks to our guide An, who speaks super good English and knows how to answer all our questions. I recommend 200%!

Great experience in Ben Tre 🇻🇳 Full day between countryside and city by scooter, as close as possible to the locals and their daily life: really authentic. Boat on the Mekong in the afternoon, cross the market by scooter and perfect end in a street food with the best pancakes around. A huge thank you to An for his kindness, professionalism and very clear explanations in English. To do without hesitation!

Our Mekong Zigzag Tour with Nhan was one of the absolute highlights of our Vietnam trip. From the very beginning, Nhan made us feel safe and comfortable – he is an excellent and extremely safe motorbike driver, and riding with him through the countryside was a pleasure in itself. The day was full of authentic, hands-on experiences that we would never have discovered on our own. We had a beautiful river tour, visited the impressive water coconut forests, and even tasted fresh water coconut. Nhan showed us traditional mat weaving, guided us through harvesting and opening our own coconuts, and introduced us to a local sugar cane press where we enjoyed an incredibly refreshing sugarcane juice with kumquat. Lunch was delicious, and the variety of stops throughout the day gave us a deep insight into local life. We also explored a lively market in Ben Tre, which was full of colors, flavors, and friendly people. To finish the day, we enjoyed outstanding bánh xèo, freshly made and absolutely delicious. Nhan is not only knowledgeable and friendly but truly passionate about showing the real Mekong Delta. His flexibility, storytelling, and warm personality made the day unforgettable. A perfect tour from start to finish – highly recommended! 🙌🌴🇻🇳

This Tour had everything you need and more! We started with a Crash-course in coconut-cracking, drove through the nature of Ben Tre with our scooters (you can choose if you want to drive yourself or sit on the back of a rider). We went to local sites, e.g., chocolate factory in the woods and coconut candy manufacturer. We had lunch, hung out in hammocks for a while, had sugar candy juice at another local spot, went on a river with super cool boats and did a small tour through the city! All people involved were so chill and super kind. They definitely know what they’re doing!
