Amazing Countryside & River Tour (Small Group Tour)

Great tour to see different Vietnam- how country people live, see some history old buildings, experience of making traditional mat

This river tour with a BBQ dinner cooked by Monkey Boy was an unexpected highlight. It was a last minute arrangement and Monkey Boy took an hour to get everything ready for this trip and came back to pick us up by car. We were amazed at how little he brought with him (a chilly bin and a bag) yet hidden inside were the most delicious yet simple ingredients. We met Captain Jack at his boat and set off for the sunset. The brilliant pink hue of the sun setting above the Cai river was a once in a lifetime experience. Seeing the local houses and restaurants along the riverside and watching locals get about their daily lives was fascinating. Just when we thought it couldn't get any better, Monkey Boy offered us a beer and began the BBQ on a simple clay pot containing hot charcoals. Watching King prawns, lemongrass chicken and pork skewers being cooked was a very humbling experience. Monkey boys special sauces were the icing on top of these dishes. Accompanied baguettes to make our very own banh mi style rolls left us feeling very satiated. Finally out came the most ripe juicy delicious mango.... the gentle put put back to the land was serene. We felt very safe in the capable hands of captain Jack at the helm, along with the local knowledge imparted to us by Moneky Boy, this has been an outstanding memorable tour for us. I cannot recommend this enough. I hope you get the opportunity to do this on such a beautiful evening.

We visited a family who have a tiny home business making conical hats. Also a refreshing stop at a family’s home on the river for fresh pickled coconut milk. Capt Jack Hai was a local character with a old wooden boat, delighting and fun. Want a feel for how the locals really live, this is a tour to take. Lunch at a local family operated tiny shop for street food.

While sailing on a cruise and stopping at Nha Trang, I booked this tour in lieu of what the ship offered. Benny picked us up from the cruise terminal and called a van to pick us up. He was extremely personable. We paid for our tour, then met up with a couple who were also from the ship at another stop. There was a misunderstanding, because I thought I was on a private tour with my family. We ended up spending the day with the other couple. They turned out to be great, however, it would have been nice to know that we wouldn't be alone with our tour guide. Tino was our guide, and he took us to a place where we saw mat weaving, we saw sesame rice paper being made, we took a river boat cruise, and we visited Cham Towers. Afterwards, Tino bought a bunch of local fruit, and we enjoyed a unique lunch where we got to create our own spring rolls. They were delicious! My family and I enjoyed the tour.
