Arrive in Ho Chi Minh City

When you arrive at the Tan Son Nhat International airport you'll be met at the baggage claim by our friendly guide. Just look for the sign with our Asia Tour Advisor logo and your name. We'll get you to your hotel and see that you're comfortable, plus we'll give you an introduction to the city at the same time. Then the rest of the day is yours to settle in, relax, and explore the area.

Saigon is a city that never sleeps and offers a plethora of great restaurants and bars catering to all tastes, from street food vendors to the rooftop bar at the Rex Hotel, where international correspondents covered the Vietnam War and where the U.S. military attaché’s press briefing was held daily and dubbed the “Five O’clock Follies”. Whatever your interests, be sure to ask your guide for personal recommendations.

Ho Chi Minh City - Cu Chi Tunnels

 We'll pick you up in the morning and take you to the Cu Chi Tunnels, a major part of the Vietnam-American War and a fascinating day trip-- explore the mysterious tunnels, find hidden doors and once-deadly traps. After lunch we'll go back to HCMC and spend the afternoon either visiting the War Remnants Museum or the Presidential Palace, whichever you prefer. Then stroll around the city's colonial streets in the evening to the Old Saigon Post Office, Dong Khoi Street, Continental Hotel, Opera House and City Hall.

Ho Chi Minh City - Mekong Delta – Ben Tre

Breakfast at your hotel. The guide pick you up and transfer you to Ben Tre.  Arrive at Ham Luong dock, you will take a boat and then cruise along Ham Luong River, a tributary to the Mekong River. The cool breeze from the river and lush tropical islands along its banks will immediately get you excited to explore all the great things ahead.
Arrive and visit various local workplaces to find many wonderful examples of how local people use ageless techniques to create their crafts, including activated charcoal, dried coconut, handy coconut husk brooms, and many family businesses using coir, or coconut fiber, to create amazing art. Cruise around the village roads by “Xe Lôi”, the local vehicle, which is a kind of motorized rickshaw. Kayak through the natural canals to get a unique experience of the peaceful beauty of the Mekong River as well as the rural life there. Having lunch at a local host house.
After lunch, you will have some time for relaxing before continuing with more activities- cycling around the village, or treating yourself to a relaxing time to relish the beautiful countryside, fishing, and cooking with the locals. Enjoy dinner and an overnight homestay experience.

Visit a small family’s business workplace producing raw material for coconut fiber.  Enjoying lunch at the homestay.

Thanh was our guide for the first part of our trip around Vietnam. He took us all around the South, from Saigon to the Mekong Delta. He’s a fountain of knowledge about the whole country and told us all about the history, the war and modern-day life with great passion. Ask him anything! He made the trip feel effortless, exactly what we wanted. We definitely recommend tour Mekong Delta

Discovering the Mekong Delta
Reviewed On: Jan 19, 2018Klaus RoelsgaardDenmark

Our trip to the Mekong Delta was both exciting and very informative. Our tour guide was very energetic, funny and informative. We made use of many forms of boat transport, which was different and fun, and moved around a lot from one tourist hot-spot or activity, to another. Was truly a full days trip. If you want to see a glimpse of everyday life on the Mekong Delta, I would advise taking this trip.

If you are reading this review and are like most of us tourists trying to gauge the best value for money you can then I will try to give you an insight on just how hard Asia Tour Advisor and their team work to exceed expectations.
We ultimately chose a top end all inclusive full day trip.
I am not going to repeat what all the other reviews say other than our guide was a young and highly knowledgeable individual that clearly loves her country her job and people in general. She is a great credit to Asia Tour Advisor..
All part of enhancing your stay in Vietnam he quips.
finally after being overawed with outstanding customer Service. There was one more surprise in store.
Thanks for a memorable time Asia Tour Advisor, hope to see you again in Vietnam on our next visit.
Cheers
