Day 1. Arrive Hochiminh city (D) - 35km/ 45minutes drive + 4hours touring
Warmly welcome on arrival at Tan Son Nhat airport. Transfer to hotel. At leisure. Afternoon private city tour of Ho Chi Minh City, formerly known as Saigon . It is the largest and busiest city in Vietnam with a population of 7 million people. Much of the daily life takes place on the streets, which are lined with shops, stalls and vendors with their wares spread out on the footpath. Don't miss the bustling Ben Thanh Market, The War Remnants Museum, The Reunification Palace. Enjoy welcome dinner on Saigon river. Overnight in HCMC.
Day 2. Hochiminh - Mekong Delta Excursion - Hochiminh city (B/L) - 150km/ 3hours drive
The Mekong Delta is the southernmost region of Vietnam. It is often referred to as the rice bowl of Vietnam as it produces three crops of rice per year. The fertile Mekong Delta is also famous for its tropical fruits and flowers. The Delta area marks the end of a 4,500 km journey made by the Mekong River after having traveled through six countries. Traditional transportation in the Delta is by boat along a vast network of canals and channels. Boating along these canals and visiting the floating markets always proves to be a fascinating and rewarding experience for all visitors.
Leave HCMC to lush My Tho where we cruise on a private boat through the green vegetation of the canals to an orchard, where we are treated to a delicious lunch in a bonsai garden in the heart of the Mekong , complete with tropical fruits at local garden.

Today, Hoi An is a quaint riverside town, popular with tourists for its eclectic architecture, tailors shops, and numerous cafes.
