Private Best of Ho Chi Minh City & Mekong Delta from Cruise Ports
Description
Mekong Delta The Mekong Delta in southern Vietnam is a vast maze of rivers, swamps and islands, home to floating markets, Khmer pagodas and villages surrounded by rice paddies. Boats are the main means of transportation, and tours of the region often start in nearby Ho Chi Minh City (formerly known as Saigon) or Can Tho, a bustling town in the heart of the delta.

Itinerary
The Mekong Delta is a network of distributaries in southwestern Vietnam, between Ho Chi Minh City and Cambodia. The river itself starts in the Himalayas and passes through China, Myanmar, Thailand and Cambodia before reaching Vietnam, which partly explains why the waters are so murky. More than half of Vietnam’s rice and fish comes from the delta region. It’s vital to the Vietnamese economy and diet. Life in the area revolves around water, from the famous floating markets to the vast agricultural industries. An amazing variety of fruits, flowers and livestock grow in the region. The Mekong River Delta is the rice basket of Vietnam, providing the sustenance for millions.

Due to shortage of time we reduced the scope of this tour to Ho Chi Min city only. The guide was very helpful taking us to specialist shops at request. We sourced the most awesome coffee which sustained us for the rest of the cruise. Us Aussies hate the cruise lines drip coffee. We enjoyed the markets and city sites. Thank you.
MAXIMUS TRAVEL was amazing. From planning and arranging our 3 different tours with driver and our wonderful tour guide- Dorothy, we were so happy. Our visit to Saigon and Vietnam was fantastic and Maximus offered us - City and History tour, spectacular Saigon Night Foodie tour by Vespa, Cu Chi Tunnels and Mekong River Delta tour and also private cooking class at Cyclo Restaurant with Chef Vu. It was all great.
Anna, our tour guide, and Ty the bus driver were phenomenal! She took her time to share her experience and knowledge of this wonderful city every step of the way. While Ty got us safely from spot to spot. — With Anna and Ty in charge, your trip is in good hands.
