We stayed at Edwin place for 2 days and everything went really well, he is a great host and you will experience the real Vietnamese life! We asked him to show as around and that's exactly what he did: with a couple of scooters we went through towns, villages, markets, rice fields, farms, rivers and pagodas stopping by every time we wanted and answering every question we got. Book the room and you won't regret the choice of visiting a rural place with almost no tourists and local guide (himself) tailoring the tour that most fits you.
Thank you Mister Edwin!Host reply

It was an amazing experience!
5 stars I think are less than I want to give him! A real deep immersion in a vietnamite countryside family!House is perfect to stay in touch with the people live in a no tourist zone. Room is big enough (bed is a bit hard for me but I slept well enough) and the house is 100% clean and safety. Please keep in mind it’s not an hotel and you don’t have all the services you want but Edwin and his family can reach to help you to feel comfortable and relaxed!
Tour on Mekong river was extremely interested. I kept a local boat (not for tourist) and I visited some islands and gardens of Edwin’s family (please…try his coconut and any kinds of fruits he share with you because you never find the same taste!)
Edwin is a brilliant tour guide.
He speaks fluently English and he knows French. He also knows everyone and everything in town and he shares with you the history of his town!At least he gave me a real Vietnamite food experience! Please relax yourself and trust in his knowledge!
No regrets! And again…an experience that I’ll keep in my heart forever!
