Departure Place

This trip encapsulates the magic of Vietnam: the conservative north, the rich heritage of the imperial cities, coastal scenery and the vibrant life of Saigon and the Mekong delta tour. We come face to face with an outgoing culture, where so much goes on in the streets: eating, washing, socializing, buying and selling or impromptu games. This intoxicating parade of Vietnamese daily life may leave you with your strongest memories, as much as the superb landscapes and amazing cuisine.

Day 1

MEKONG (Meal: L)

The Mekong Delta offers many exciting attractions, activities, and excursions. Nature lovers especially will enjoy the beautiful landscapes along the small local villages, with endless rice fields and lush orchards. While touring along the river, you can also see the way of life of local people. The floating markets of the region with its abundance of fruits and vegetables and the floating houses with fish-farms underneath are just some of the highlights of the Mekong Delta. The food is good and the local people are very friendly and hospitable. Escape from the noisy city of Ho Chi Minh and feel at peace!
