“Since holidaying in Vietnam as a family of five (with three teenagers), we’ve done quite a few tours and this tour to an organic farm was easily the best. Our guide, Trang, was exceptional - fantastic English, incredibly knowledgeable and genuinely engaging. The tour was very hands-on, from visiting the farm and local market to learning, tasting and cooking the most delicious meal together. We had a few different dietary requirements, all of which were catered for perfectly. The banana boat ride was a bonus and so much fun. Without a doubt, our favourite tour of the trip.
