Highlights

Sai Gon – Ben Tre Town – Can Tho

Asiana Link Travel - Our guide and driver will pick you up at your hotel, and drive two hours to Bến Tre Town. We will stop along the way for refreshments and toilet.

Mekong Delta - Upon arrival, we board a motorboat to cruise the canals of the Mekong River, enjoying the scenic views. We stop at a brick kiln to observe traditional brick-making and then visit a workshop to learn about coconut candy production and sample the candy. A visit to a local family allows us to see traditional mat-making and enjoy fruits and tea while interacting with the locals. We also experience hand-rowing a sampan along a breezy canal and take a motor cart or cycle ride through shady roads, passing green fields and vegetable plantations to learn about tropical culture from the villagers.

Ben Tre - Lunch will be served at a riverside restaurant with a Vietnamese 5-course set menu. Please request in advance if you have a food allergy, you are a vegetarian, or you observe Halal.

Can Tho - Drive to Cần Thơ, the capital city of the Mekong Delta. Upon arrival, we check in to a rustic homestay. Take a rest and enjoy a peaceful time within the authentic village. Tonight, you will join a cooking class guided by your local host and enjoy your wonderful dinner. Overnight in Cần Thơ.

Can Tho – Cai Rang Floating Market – Tra Su Bird Santuary - Chau Doc

Cai Rang Floating Market - Get up early; then have breakfast before taking a motor-boat along the river to Cái Răng floating market, the largest of its kind, where colorful boats carrying juicy fruits and vegetables gather for daily exchanging.

We continue the cruise and walk on a quiet country road to take in the magnificent scenery and get close to the residents as they go about their daily routines. Visit a flea market, a noodle factory, and tropical fruit gardens like papaya, mango, pineapple…

Tra Su Bird Sanctuary - After that, we leave for the Tra Su Bird Sanctuary (Cajuput Forest). Located just around 10km from the Việt Nam – Cambodia border, Trà Sư is a national reserve and home to numerous types of fauna and flora. The forest has 106 colonies of water birds, bats, and various rare and endangered animals and reptiles, several of which have been listed in the Red Book, and over 140 flora species.

We can take a boat trip and enjoy floating in one of the most beautiful landscape in the Mekong Delta.

Châu Doc – Ho Chi Minh city

Cai Be - Leaving the city of Châu Đốc, we drive back to Hồ Chí Minh City, stopping at a local village along the way for lunch.

You’ll have the chance to enjoy a delicious meal at a local home where your host will showcase a cooking demonstration. You’ll also have the opportunity to challenge yourself by learning how to cook a traditional Vietnamese dish before indulging in a wonderful meal.

Afterward, you can choose to either relax at the house or embark on a 30-minute cycling tour around the village, which offers an excellent opportunity to immerse yourself in the local way of life. The tour concludes with a return to your pickup point.

Traveling in style around the Mekong - We were fortunate to have Stark and Mr Quy as guide and driver respectively. Stark was attentative,kmowledgable and great gun to be around. His knowledge of Vietnamese culture really made the trip. Mr Quy was an excellent driver and my wife and I felt very safe in his hands. Both men were great ambassadors for the company. I will have no hesitation in recommending your company to friends.

Immersion in the Mekong delta - Amazing tailormade 4-day trip in the Mekong delta! Sinnie, our agent, put all her efforts in answering our wishes to combine their 3-day private pack with a 2-day one night bessac cruise. The result was a fantastic immersion in the delta with half of the time on the water, the best place to enjoy it. Choice of hotels, pre-arranged meals and visits was allowing for various experiences of what the Mekong has to offer. I highly recommend Asiana link and Sinnie. Their price may be a bit above the market and high in comparison of Vietnam cost of living but the service is perfect.

Fantastic three days Megkong Delta - I had a fantastic trip with Ann from Asiana Link Travel. Everything from the first contact with Iris from the office until the good bye after three days in the Delta with Ann was perfectly organised. I was very well taken care of abd got a great inside view of Vietnam that is otherwise hard to get as a tourist. Ann made sure I got a chance for a real cultural exchange. She even brought everything needed for a ritual in a temple and showed me everything about their believes. Really, book with them! It is definitly something you wont experience when you just visit on your own!

First Class Service - I booked the 3 day Mekong Delta Tour in January 23 to travel in July 23, for a family celebration holiday. Communication was always prompt and very efficient. Unfortunately we have had to cancel our whole holiday to Vietnam on health grounds, but when we are able to return I will definitely book the same trip again due to the first class customer service I have received on cancellation.

Very interesting Mekong Delta Tour with Uy - The tour was wonderful and very full of attractions. Uy was a very kind and knowing tourguide. Also his english was very good. It was good to opt for the 3-day tour as we made it up to the border of Cambodia. As we were off-season, there were no tourist (wxcept us of course…). Very recommended!

Fascinating Tour trough the Mekong Delta - We spent some really nice three days in the Mekong delta with our friendly guide Uy. He explained a lot about the Vietnamese culture, habits and people and we were able to ask him all our questions. One of our highlights was definitely our visit to the Tra Sur national reserve. Be prepared to spend a lot of time in the car! But definitely would recommend this tour to anyone who wants to really experience the Mekong delta.

Mekong Delta 3 days - Fantastic insight into the life of the Mekong delta. Our guide David was engaging informative and funny. Visited some really interesting places,the highlight for me was the floating market, eating noodle soup and drinking delicious coffee served from a lady on a small boat. Great tour but be prepared for long drives. Would highly recommend this tour and the guide David.
