ORIGIN: Ho Chi Minh City
DESTINATION: Ho Chi Minh City – Mekong Delta – Can Tho
Highlights If you wish to see different sides of Ho Chi Minh City, this is the tour for you. Within walking distances, you will join the dynamic, busy atmosphere on Nguyen Hue walking street with City Hall, City Theater, then Dong Khoi street with Notre Dame Cathedral, City Post Office,… Another half-day must be well-spent with Cu Chi Tunnels exploration. The tour also takes you deeper into the Mekong Delta to survey the vast rice fields and waters of Ben Tre and Can Tho. It gives a close contact with traditional rural life in Vietnam by stop-overs at orchard garden, joy with amateur singing performance, and a sampan ride on the crisscrossing waterways of the Mekong Delta always proves to be a fascinating and rewarding experience for all visitors. The highlight of the tour is a morning visit to the floating market where locals exchange goods right from their boats.
