Huy our guide was great.We felt like we saw many aspects of Ben Tre without being rushed at all.We were a group of ten and it allowed us to experience everything without it being really touristy.We really loved going down the canal in the small boat , cycling around,and going on the large boat down the Mekong Delta.Our lunch was freshly prepared and delicious,It truly was a special day and Huy's personality certainly made it fun.Thank you we'd highly recommend this..

I had a wonderful tour with Huy. Huy told us a lot about the Mekong Delta. He was always very attentive and funny. We met few tourists during the tour. The stops at local houses and the food were also great. But the boat rides were, of course, especially great. I would recommend the tour to anyone who prefers a more relaxed experience. Huy was a truly fantastic guide.
