Vietnamese Cooking Class - Thank you, Tracy, for such meaningful insight into Vietnam. How better to get to know Vietnam than to shop its wet market with a local, get to know the many herbs and vegetables that make its food taste so unique. Then to cook and eat it in a homestay far from the hustle and bustle of the towns. It was unforgettable and we look forward to applying some of what we learned when we cook back home.

The Mekong - a wonderful experience - We had the most memorable day touring the Mekong with Chi from Zig Zag the Mekong. From the moment we met her, Chi radiated kindness, warmth, and happiness. She is incredibly knowledgeable about the region, sharing fascinating insights at every step, but what stood out most was how genuinely caring she was throughout the day. Our adventure began at her friend’s family business, where we watched two women skillfully weave beautiful grass mats. It was humbling to see the time and effort it takes — nearly two hours for just one mat! From there, we jumped on motorbikes and continued our journey deeper into local life, exploring places and experiences we never would have discovered on our own. The absolute highlight was gliding down the Mekong in a traditional small boat. Peaceful, scenic, and almost magical — it gave us a whole new perspective on the river and the communities who live by it. Chi made us feel like welcomed friends rather than just visitors. Every stop was thoughtfully chosen, and her joy in sharing her culture was infectious. If you’re visiting the Mekong and want an experience that is authentic, informative, and heart-warming, we cannot recommend Chi and Zig Zag the Mekong highly enough.

Excellent day out - We had the best day. Loved being on the motorbike and driving thru the countryside. Got to taste some chocolate, candy, sugarcane drink and also saw lots of factories that were processing coconuts. Had the best lunch followed by a boat trip. Fantastic experience and would highly recommend

Unforgettable day - Beautiful day to discover Ben Tre. Motorcycle rides to discover coconut farm, chocolate, coconut candy, sugar cane juice, how to open coconut to drink water, coconut yarns crossing the stalls along the way. Great lunch in the home stay. And then really nice and relaxing boat tour. Motorbike ride in the biggest market of Ben Tre and to finish a delicious Vietnamese crepes.

Beautiful discovery of Bến Tre - Great day in Bến Tre! We spent the whole day with an adorable guide who introduced us to the area and local life. It was exotic, warm and really interesting. I highly recommend this experience to those who want to discover the Mekong differently.

Great experience! - Very nice day in the Mekong Delta, in the middle of coconut groves. An immersion in local life guided by the charming Chi and her husband to meet people who work coconut or make honey. We ate a very good homemade meal with local produce. And the day ended with a relaxing and almost hypnotic ride on the arms of the Mekong. In short a quiet day away from the hustle and bustle of the city.
