Highlights
- Mekong River Delta - Your guide will meet you at 8 am at your accommodation, and you’ll embark on a roughly 2-hour journey from Saigon via the expressway to the Cai Be Floating Market.\nNext, you’ll have the opportunity to explore a traditional local wet market before boarding a boat to visit a genuine floating market, established by local residents to meet their own needs rather than for touristic purposes, and not a government initiative.\nSubsequently, you’ll venture to Tan Phong islet, often referred to as the verdant ‘pearl land’ nestled in the Tien river. Here, you’ll discover various traditional workshops and observe the creation of coconut candy, crispy rice popcorn, rice paper, and visit a honey bee farm. Stroll through fruit orchards to reach the enchanting lotus tea house, where you’ll be treated to authentic South West folk music.\nDuring a cooking class, you’ll gain insight into the distinctive culinary styles of Southern Vietnam and the country as a whole. You’ll also learn how the locals prepare their traditional meals and may notice the regional flavor differences within Vietnam. For instance, Northern Vietnamese tend to favor salty flavors, Central Vietnamese have a penchant for spicy food, and Southern cuisine is notably sweeter compared to the others.
