   An authentic side of the Mekong

   This tour was so well-balanced: flowers, forest, history, and food. Thomas guided us gently, with a calm energy that let us fully soak in each place. Sa Dec flower village is a living mosaic. Not touristy at all — locals actually tending to their blooms. The Xeo Quyt forest took me by surprise; it was like entering a hidden jungle. Floating silently through the water, with birds overhead and vines all around, felt otherworldly. The house in Sa Dec was a lovely end — quiet, preserved, full of charm. Thank you, Thomas, for making this such a peaceful and meaningful day.

   Natur og historie hånd i hånd

   Vi havde en utrolig god dag med Lâm. Han var rolig, imødekommende og vidende. Alt gik i et godt tempo — ikke for hurtigt, ikke for langsomt. Blomsterlandsbyen i Sa Dec var farverig og fredelig. Jeg nød at gå mellem de mange rækker af blomster og høre om, hvordan familier her lever af deres håndværk. Xeo Quyt-skoven var en anden verden — med trærødder og gamle bunkere. Lâm fortalte os om historien med respekt og varme. Vi sluttede af ved det smukke gamle hus fra The Lover. Et sted fuld af romantik og fortid. Fantastisk tur!

   Hidden gems in a single day

   This was one of the most rewarding day trips I’ve done in Vietnam. Minh was a fantastic guide — energetic, well-informed, and fun to chat with. Sa Dec flower village was like stepping into a fragrant dream. I never knew there were so many types of flowers here! Then, Xeo Quyt forest — wow. That rowing boat journey was like entering a peaceful, secret world. Minh explained the wartime history with clarity and respect. And the final touch? That old colonial house from The Lover — intimate, graceful, and full of bittersweet romance. Everything flowed smoothly. Highly recommend!

   Une escapade pleine de poésie et d’histoire

   Ce que j’ai adoré dans cette journée, c’est son équilibre entre nature et histoire. Duy était tout simplement génial : chaleureux, passionné, et plein de petites anecdotes. Le village des fleurs était un bonheur pour les yeux — c’était comme marcher à travers un tableau vivant. À Xeo Quyt, j’ai été touchée par le silence, le chant des oiseaux et les vestiges cachés de la guerre. Le moment en barque restera gravé en moi. La maison de Huynh Thuy Le est une perle. Duy nous a raconté l’histoire de Marguerite Duras avec émotion, comme s’il l’avait vécue lui-même. Merci infiniment.

   Ein Stück stilles Vietnam

   Diese Tour war anders als alles, was ich in Vietnam bisher erlebt habe. Chris hat uns mit viel Ruhe und Wissen durch den Tag begleitet. Sa Dec war ein Farbenmeer. Keine Touristenmassen, sondern echte vietnamesische Gärtner bei der Arbeit. Das Xeo-Quyt-Waldgebiet war magisch — wir sind mit dem Ruderboot durch Wasserwege geglitten, fast lautlos. Chris zeigte uns alte Kriegsbunker, versteckt unter Wurzeln und Lianen. Zum Schluss das alte Haus aus dem Roman Der Liebhaber — atmosphärisch und geschichtsträchtig. Wer Vietnam jenseits von Motorrollern und Großstadtlärm erleben will, sollte diese Tour machen.

   Daydreams of flowers and floating trees

   I didn’t know much about this part of Vietnam before coming, but Danh opened it up with passion and warmth. The flower village was like a dream — you walk through rows and rows of blooming life, guided by locals who grow them year-round. Xeo Quyt forest felt sacred. Danh explained the history of the bunkers while we floated through ancient trees. You could feel the stillness in your bones. He let us take it all in without rushing. Lunch was delicious and local. I really appreciated that it wasn’t touristy. The old house in Sa Dec wrapped up the day with elegance. I still can’t get over how romantic it felt.

   Perfectly paced day in the Delta

   I’m so glad we booked this tour — it wasn’t rushed, yet we did so much in one day. David was friendly and very knowledgeable, sharing stories about the region that we’d never find in guidebooks. The flower village in Sa Dec was like a living art gallery. Everywhere you look: color, scent, texture. At Xeo Quyt, David helped us imagine how the swamp once hid soldiers during wartime — such a surreal contrast to the current peacefulness. And the Huynh Thuy Le house? I didn’t know the book or the movie beforehand, but now I’m reading The Lover because David made the story so fascinating. Smooth drive, great lunch, beautiful sites. Just excellent.

   Een tour voor je zintuigen

   Deze dag voelde als een zachte reis door de zintuigen. Chris is een geweldige gids — hij spreekt perfect Engels en geeft je veel achtergrond zonder te overdrijven. De bloemen in Sa Dec waren prachtig. Zo veel kleuren, zo veel geuren! Daarna bracht de roeiboot ons door het moeras van Xeo Quyt — absolute stilte, enkel vogels en het geluid van water tegen de houten boot. De laatste stop bij het Huynh Thuy Le huis was charmant. Chris vertelde over “L’Amant”, de roman en film, wat het allemaal extra bijzonder maakte. Rustige maar indrukwekkende tour.

   Immersive, personal, peaceful

   What a relaxing day away from the busy cities. Thomas made sure everything ran smoothly while letting us enjoy at our own pace. I loved how quiet and authentic the entire tour felt. Not crowded, not commercial. The flower village felt like walking through someone’s dream garden. At Xeo Quyt, we glided slowly under trees in silence. It was meditative. Thomas showed us old war shelters hidden in the swamp, adding unexpected depth to the experience. The visit to Huynh Thuy Le’s house was poetic. The love story and French architecture made it feel like a scene from an old film. Highly recommend this tour if you want a reflective day in the Delta.

    Unexpected serenity in Vietnam

    We were blown away by how peaceful and refreshing this tour was. Hannah was lovely — calm, insightful, and very patient with our questions. The Sa Dec flower village was a feast for the senses. It’s not touristy at all, just locals growing thousands of flowers for Tet and other events. The sampan ride at Xeo Quyt was otherworldly. We could barely hear anything but birds and the oar in the water. Hannah told us about the Viet Cong bunkers hidden under the trees — it gave the forest a haunting depth. And the Huynh Thuy Le house? So poetic. An unexpected highlight of our Vietnam trip.
