Fun family cooking event - and tunnels
This was great. We were picked up as agreed, and drove to the village where the cooking class took place (our host was not Tan, but another super nice guide, with great English).
We were a family of 6, and each of us had our own tools, own wok and and cooking area. We started off with a super interesting tour of the various ingredients, tasting it all and learning about how it was used. Then we proceeded to cooking and with some nice helpers (also cleaning up) it ended up great. We did four dishes in total. Probably this was the family highlight of our trip in Vietnam, and definitely in everyone's top 3.
After eating we went to see the tunnels - a very interesting insight into the war and how the Americans were out-smarted with low-tech means. Our kids ended up shooting some overpriced bullets (not part of the tour), and loved that part.
Overall this was super nice, and a day excursion I would recommend to anyone (our youngest kids were 15, probably min age is 10-12).

Fabulous Day with Thien
We enjoyed such a great trip to the Mekong with Thien. She was such a wonderful host - bright, vibrant and so entertaining. We felt really looked after the whole trip and the places we visited were authentic and definitely off the regular tourist track. The highlight was visiting the home of two lovely ladies, who showed us how to make sweet rice paper rolls. If you are looking to see a small slice of real Mekong Delta life - this is the trip for you. Thank you Thien

Wind made our day so special!
Wind was an amazing guide, willing to answer any question and so easy to talk to. We were traveling with our 12 and 14 year olds, and she helped make sure they had a great time too.

Great tour with Thien
Thien’s English is really good and we learned so much about Vietnam while experiencing all kinds of adventures in the Mekong Delta. She is a bundle of energy and enthusiasm and is clearly well loved by the people we interacted with. We also appreciated her driver who was top notch. Highly recommend Thien and the Mekong Delta tour!
