This tour was everything I needed. Chris was informative but relaxed — no rush, no overexplaining, just the right rhythm. Phu Ly pagoda is something special — old, quiet, elegant in a Southeast Asian way I hadn't seen before. The tofu skin village was the surprise of the trip. Watching the thin film form and being lifted — like catching fog with chopsticks — was mesmerizing. And the nursery village was just... green and human. Smiling grandmas, kids with watering cans. It felt like a different Vietnam. A real one.
This tour wasn’t flashy, but that’s exactly why I loved it. No crowds, no pressure, just honest places and people doing what they’ve done for generations. Hannah explained everything with a calm voice and deep respect for the locals. I was especially moved by the tofu skin workshop — the steam rising from the soy milk, the quiet hands collecting those delicate layers. It was almost poetic. The Khmer pagoda felt sacred, even for someone who isn’t religious. And the nursery village? It made me want to slow down in life. I'm taking that feeling home with me.
J’ai réservé ce tour sans grandes attentes, mais j’ai été enchantée du début à la fin. Minh est un guide discret mais passionné, qui nous a transmis beaucoup d’informations tout en douceur. La pagode khmère de Phu Ly est un bijou caché, entre les palmiers et les arbres centenaires. On s’y sent bien, presque hors du monde. Puis vient le village de fabrication de peau de tofu — un moment rare. Voir les gestes précis, le silence de l’atelier... c’est de l’artisanat vivant. Et pour terminer, le village des pépinières était un havre de verdure. J’ai adoré marcher entre les jeunes pousses et discuter avec les habitants. Ce tour m’a reconnectée à l’essentiel.
I wasn’t sure what to expect, but this tour was a deep breath. From the moment Thomas greeted us at the hotel, it felt more like being shown around by a local friend than a “guide.” Phu Ly pagoda was just... still. The trees, the colors, the breeze — everything slowed down there. I didn’t take many photos. I just stood and breathed. The tofu skin making was super cool. Never seen anything like that — so much precision in such a humble village. The plant nursery village was the greenest place I’ve been to in Vietnam. It all felt honest. And peaceful.
I usually plan packed days when I travel — but I’m glad I slowed down for this one. The boat ride itself was calming, then came Phu Ly pagoda — peaceful, fragrant with incense, and full of character. The tofu skin workshop was so quiet — everyone focused, no rush, no noise. Just soy milk becoming art. I didn’t expect to enjoy it so much. The plant nursery village was... the best part. Small footpaths, green walls, soft river light. I forgot to check my phone. That never happens. Hannah led us like a local friend, not a guide. Beautiful day.
If you’re looking for a touristy, Insta-worthy boat ride — this is not it. But if you want quiet beauty, local stories, and a deeper connection to this region, book this tour. Phu Ly pagoda was a spiritual place — not because anyone told me, but because I felt it. The tofu skin village was like stepping into a living museum of quiet craftsmanship. Watching the women pull those delicate skins with bamboo sticks felt like meditation. And the nursery village was a dream. Green tunnels of saplings, gentle river breeze, and Chris guiding us like a friend. This is how I want to remember the Mekong.
Desde el momento que subimos al bote, supe que este no era un tour típico. La pagoda Khmer de Phu Ly era un lugar lleno de paz. Árboles antiguos, arquitectura fascinante, y un silencio que invita a la contemplación. Luego el taller de piel de tofu fue algo completamente nuevo para mí. Es impresionante ver cómo se forma esa capa fina sobre la leche de soya, y cómo la recogen con tanta delicadeza. Finalmente, el vivero de plantas junto al río fue como entrar en otro mundo — tranquilo, verde, puro. Hannah fue una guía excelente, amable y muy atenta.
Can’t believe more people aren’t talking about this tour — it’s low-key one of the best things I’ve done in Vietnam. Minh was chill, knowledgeable, and shared just enough info without overloading us. The Khmer pagoda? Peaceful and visually stunning. The architecture is a blend I’ve never seen before. Then we visited this tofu skin village, which honestly blew my mind — it’s like origami from soy milk. And the nursery village was the perfect finale. Calm canals, plants everywhere, people just doing their thing. No tourist traps, just vibes.
Le circuit proposé sort clairement des sentiers battus. On commence par une paisible traversée en bateau à travers les canaux pour arriver à la pagode khmère de Phu Ly. L’ambiance y est presque mystique – silence, arbres géants, architecture magnifique. Le village artisanal de fabrication de peau de tofu est un petit trésor. J’ai adoré observer le processus, lent et délicat. C’est un savoir-faire rare que Duy nous a très bien expliqué. Et puis cette halte dans le village des pépiniéristes… quelle sérénité. On se promène au milieu des plantes, des pousses, des enfants qui rient. Un moment suspendu. Merci pour cette belle parenthèse.
This tour felt slow in the best way possible. No crowds. No rushing. Just beautiful landscapes, honest people, and traditions I didn’t even know existed. Lâm was a calm and insightful guide. He explained about the Phu Ly pagoda’s architecture with so much passion. I took maybe 30 photos of those old trees! The tofu skin village was one of those “hidden corners” that travel bloggers dream about. And the plant nursery... it made me want to stay longer, help water some seedlings, maybe grow a garden of my own. Simple things. Big feelings.
