Reisroute
Waar de Mekong stil wordt Rijd onder tropische bomen en langs smalle kanalen, door boomgaarden, open rijstvelden en dorpjes die weinig reizigers ooit tegenkomen. Niets is hier geregeld voor bezoekers. Tuinen worden onderhouden, boten passeren tussen huizen aan het water, en het dagelijks leven ontvouwt zich in zijn eigen zachte tempo. Pauzeer voor fruit in het seizoen en iets verfrissends om te drinken. Onderweg transformeren verhalen van je gastheer het landschap van iets dat je gewoon ziet naar iets dat je begint te begrijpen. De oogst verandert. De mensen die je ontmoet kunnen veranderen. Geen twee reizen verlopen helemaal hetzelfde. Een rustiger pad naar het leven van de Mekong.

We have been on several biking tours (mostly EBike) in other countries and this one was the most chill and relaxing although we did cover about 15 km of mostly flat pavement throughout the neighborhood and were greeted by cheerful children along the way. We’ve been in Vietnam for more than 6 week’s traveling North to South and Can Tho has very nice and hospitable people. We lucked out with a private tour and Mai is so sweet, friendly and knowledgeable about the area. After our initial trek we stopped at a very friendly friend’s house and enjoyed a refreshing sugar cane drink. While admiring the extremely large jack fruit along the bike path we then went to the market and were able to purchase some fried bananas and fresh bananas picked that morning. We also learned about the “paper outfits” they sell at the market (I’ll let you find out more when you take the tour), stopped by a small farm with baby pigs (so cute!) and boisterous roosters and 2 cute girls that we stopped to talk to. We then rode to the rice field area next to the Lotus flower garden and learned about the 3x rice and plantings per year. Something that separates the Mekong Delta area from the northern part of Vietnam. All in all it was a great way to get some exercise and get to better know the neighborhood in Can Tho.
We loved doing both the cycling trip and the Son Islet tour with Mai. She was fun, helpful and knowledgeable. The cycling tour was so much fun - the locals were so friendly and all wanted to say hello to us. Son Islet was so peaceful and beautiful. Thanks for two great days out.
We had a really nice bike tour through local villages, rice fields, and fruit plantations. Our guide Mai made it special for us; the extra information, but especially her connection with the locals, made this trip an afternoon to never forget. Book this trip and ask for Mai!
Fantastic trip, great guides … we were enchanted with the experience. Highly recommended!
It was a great bike ride with Ruby. She speaks good English, explains well and gives any information. She also took great photos and videos. I myself would never have seen such places. I recommend Ruby 100%!
Had the most wonderful morning cycling through the countryside outside of Can Tho. It was fascinating to see how the local people live and work compared to the city. We visited a local market and ate delicious fruit and also had a couple of refreshing drink breaks. Our guide Ruby spoke excellent English and we learnt alot from her. She was a joy to be with, enthusiastic and such good fun. All in all an excellent tour, thank you Ruby.
We had the best bike tour with Ruby!
We had an amazing bike ride with Ruby. She was very friendly and answered all our questions. She prepared a fresh fruit stop and took the most inspired pictures of us. Thank you, Ruby!
Ruby was a great guide withe excellent english. She is very knowledgeable and open to discussion. I couldn't reccommend her enough.
Had an amazing time with our guide Hannah, who was super friendly and personable. The tour gave us good insight into life in the Mekong Delta, and was definitely off the beaten path - I did not see any other tourists the entire time and the local kids were excited to say "hello" to us. Highly recommend this tour and booking with Hannah if you can! The biking was not super intense but it does require some biking ability over rough paths and up and down bridges.
