Mekong Delta Bike Tour Reviews
- Cycling Indochina: Vietnam to Cambodia Adventure
I did an individual tour with Thai in the Mekong Delta. It was perfect for what I wanted, biking on narrow lanes, seeing the countryside where tourists don't go and even talking to the people. Highlights were being pulled into a wedding party and visiting his uncle's house.
The tour was extremely well organised and the itinerary was great. We especially enjoyed the tea party in the morning on the first day and cruising the canals in a sampan. Biking was good fun and the breaks were brilliant. We visited a coconut candy factory, tried snake wine, a palm sugar drink and battered bananas. Opted for the homestay on the second night and enjoyed it. Didn't have too much interaction but the cooking class was fun and it was much more interesting than just staying in a hotel. Also, our guide Yen was awesome. A genuinely nice and friendly lady who was very informative. Thanks Yen. The only downside was that they kept serving us way to much food
