Super round half-day tour and dear team - My family and I were welcomed by our guide An at our accommodation and we had lunch with the entire group there first. The food was typical of the country, very delicious and very sumptuous. I'm sure you'll get fed up there. Her team turned out to be trustworthy riders who took us by scooter to the first stop of the tour: a small chocolate shop. There we were introduced to the steps of chocolate production and offered small samples of the cocoa bean at various stages of production until completion. We were allowed to experience the same thing during the production of the coconut candies. An had an answer to all questions and we were allowed to try generously. Afterwards we went to a small cottage where typical sleeping mats were made. We were also allowed to lend a hand ourselves, of course led. The garden next door turned out to be a coconut farm, where we cut the coconuts down from the tree and afterwards enjoyed the contents of them. Super insights into the typical village activities! Afterwards we went back on the motorcycle and we continued through the palm-covered streets. We stopped between small cottages and their associated coconut farms for a short photo break. Finally we went on a small wooden boat on which we could relax in beanbags. We were provided with water and had to do nothing but enjoy the view and take photos. A relaxed conclusion with small explanations of the environment, flora and fauna of our guide and testing a water coconut. In the end we were taken back to our accommodation and were ready on time for our onward journey. Thanks for the great tour:)

A Warm Welcome and Fresh Perspective on Ben Tre! - From the moment An, my tour guide, greeted me with a warm smile at my hotel, I knew it was going to be a pleasant day. She speaks excellent English, making every story about Ben Tre’s scenery and local life easy to follow, and she even snapped some amazing photos for me along the way! I also had the chance to meet the business owner, whose friendliness made the experience even more memorable. While as a Malaysian Kelantanese, the scenes and traditions felt somewhat familiar, the trip offered a fresh perspective on Ben Tre and turned out to be a delightful way to spend my weekend.

Great tour with an insight into how local people live - This was a super chilled completely un touristy tour where we got to see local lives in the Mekong delta including local people making chocolate. No pressure to buy anything. I would highly recommend this tour if you are interested how local people live.

Just the Mekong Tour we hoped for! - We and our two children aged 6 and 10 had really much fun with our guide An who was both knowledgeable, easy to understand in English and extremely pleasant company. The trip went to a weavery, a coconut factory, a coconut lick shop (yumyum!), a boat trip and a scooter tour along the beautiful little paths and roads. It was just something of what we hoped to experience when travelling to Vietnam. Can highly recommend!

A must if you’re visiting the South of Vietnam - An absolute must if you’re visiting the South. Such a great way to see local South-Vietnam. The boat tour was very peaceful and undisturbed from mass tourism. The ride with the scooters was also so much fun with good explanations on the way. The food was very tasty too and as everywhere in Vietnam in abundance.
