Itinerary
Depart from Saigon and head straight to My Tho. Getting on board at a less touristy pier, pass by the fruit gardens and enjoy tropical seasonal fruits, welcomed by friendly local people. Visit an orchid garden where beautiful orchids are grown and sip some honey tea. A boat trip to floating fish farms where locals live right on the water with fish underneath their floor will offer the ultimate chance to experience Mekong’s local life. Learn how coconut candy, a special product of Bến Tre, is made at a candy workshop and taste some for yourself. Hope on a xe loi (motor cart) and ride through the countryside, stop on the way sightseeing at local people’s daily activities and enjoy coconut juice. Stop at a local restaurant for a delicious lunch of traditional Vietnamese dishes. After lunch, take a rowing-boat along the water palm creek and return to the mainland.

About Ho Chi Minh City
Ho Chi Minh City, still widely called Saigon, is Vietnam's buzzing commercial hub of French colonial landmarks, war history and superb street food.
District 1 holds the main sights within walking distance: the red-brick Notre-Dame Cathedral, the elegant Central Post Office with its vaulted hall, the colonial Opera House and the ornate City Hall. The Independence Palace preserves its rooms as they were at the end of the war, and the War Remnants Museum tells the story of the conflict with sobering directness.
Top-ranked sights in Ho Chi Minh City: Cu Chi Tunnels, Saigon Opera House (Opéra de Saïgon), Saigon Central Post Office.
