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!

A bike trip is highly recommended - warmly recommended!! Passing through villages that are not touristed at all, an authentic and special experience. Jan is a charming guy and an excellent guide, tells about Vietnam and the region, great fun and worth the investment.

Peaceful Cycling - We went with our guide David on a private cycling trip through the villages in the delta. We were picked up from our hotel and dropped off near the night market (by our request). David expertly handled all our questions while we were peacefully cycling. We had a great time. 👍
