08:00: We will start your journey from Saigon to Ben Tre Province with a pickup from your hotel. Along the way to Ben Tre, you can view the natural beauty of forests and the local's daily life.
Your adventure continues with a scenic cruise along the Ham Luong River. This is one of nine estuaries that characterize the Mekong Delta. The river offers a romantic setting for you to relax and take in the natural beauty.
During the cruise, tourists will have a chance to stop by a local coconut workshop. You will have the opportunity to watch the fascinating process of making elaborate traditional products and meet friendly Ben Tre people. This firsthand experience allows you to gain insights into the local craftsmanship.
A leisurely walk through a mat-weaving house awaits, where you can observe the intricate art of mat-weaving and learn more about this item that plays an important role in the spiritual life of Southern people. Additionally, you can enjoy the tasty local fruits and a refreshing cup of tea.
Next, you will hop aboard a 'xe loi' (motorized rickshaw) or bicycle to observe locals in their everyday lives and verdant fruit orchards during the journey.
Afternoon
After a delicious riverside lunch, we will set sail on a sampan boat, navigating narrow canals. While winding through magnificent landscapes, we will have the opportunity to see a variety of plant species on both sides of the canals.

Thanks Giulia for arranging this tour for me. The trip was very fascinating! The guide was knowledgeable n friendly, providing interesting information about the Mekong Delta, local people, and their lifestyle
A family of five embarked on this trip, which picked us up from our hotel and took us straight to My Tho. We saw several areas, including a coconut farm, fruit fields, and the Delta River.

We saw several areas, including a coconut farm, fruit fields, and the Delta River. This package was ideal; it included lunch, boat transfers, and a river excursion. Our guide, Bach, was really helpful, speaking both Vietnamese to my parents and English to me and my partner. He had a beautiful charm about him and was quite polite, assisting us with photos and purchasing various items. If you go on this trip, I recommend Bestprice Travel to lead you. Less

The stop at the bamboo fibre factory was unexpected but very interesting, as was the brick kilns at the boat yard. The boat trip through the delta is enjoyable and fascinating. The coconut product stop was again enjoyable in its demonstrations and a look into traditional work methods. (candy is good!!). The walk through the village to the restaurant gives an insight into Vietnamese village life. Lunch very nice and the second sampan boat trip equally interesting. A good day of sightseeing but a long day. We were a party of 9 - 7 from hotel +2. Miss Khanh was enthusiastic, knowledgeable and so willing share what life in Vietnam is like for village and town folk. (she also mentioned the same ban Mi shop !!) Less
