Highlights

Ninh Kieu - We pedal through serene villages rarely touched by tourists. Experience the genuine warmth of the locals as you join in their daily activities, from festive gatherings to celebratory ceremonies and lively karaoke. Observe children joyfully swimming and women gracefully washing clothes by the river.
The next stop on the trip is a lotus farm, where you can admire the beauty and purity of the lotus flower. Here we will learn how to cultivate the lotus, the national flower of Vietnam, while valuing what this wonderful flower brings to our lives. Of course, no trip to this farm would be complete without harvesting and eating fresh lotus seeds.
The Mekong Delta is considered Vietnam’s largest rice and fruit granary. You will discover vast rice paddies that stretch endlessly (seasonal), complemented by lush fruit gardens adorned with vibrant mangoes, pineapples, mangosteens, jackfruit, durian, papaya, guava, pomelo, and star apple.

Great bike ride! I recommend - We discovered the countryside, the rice fields and the way of life of the people who live there by taking a bike ride in the afternoon. The guide Nhung is very kind and very attentive, she explained many things to us about the environment in which we were and about Vietnam in general, thanks to her we had a very good time. We had several very interesting breaks thanks to Nhung's explanations. This walk is a real moment of sharing, very pleasant! I recommend :)

A must do bicycle tour! - This was an absolute highlight of our trip to the Mekong Delta. We were lucky enough to get the same guide as the day before, Hannah, which made the tour even better as we already knew her and she is wonderful. Hannah took us around the windy paths of the local villages and to the local Lotus Flower garden.
We tried lotus seeds and Vietnamese strawberry and then stopped at a local house for coffee, drinks and fruit. Our daughter had an iced strawberry and condensed milk treat which is a must try!
Definitely do this tour, it gives you such a wonderful glimpse into the lives of the locals.

Nice bike tour - We had a great afternoon with Yan! It was a lot of fun to observe rural life. Yan explained a lot to us about the people and the plants along the way. We ate pineapple at a market and stopped for some delicious passion fruit juice. I can recommend the tour!

Perfect guide! - Great guide! David gets 10 stars from here. The bikes were recent, the route was flat as a pancake, the places carefully chosen and David made it play brilliantly. A great pleasure and an excellent opportunity to experience the great hospitality of the South Vietnamese people. Big experience!
