In the morning, picked up by guide and driver then head towards Sa Dec, a city where the writer Marguerite Duras spent part of her childhood and drew inspiration for her novel "The Lover." Some scenes from the film adaptation were also shot here. Visit the historical house of Huynh Thuy Le, the Kien An Cung Pagoda, and the Trung Vuong School, located along the canal.

Afterwards, take a short boat transfer to Bassac, a few kilometers away from Tiger Island.

Spend the night at a homestay.

Day 2

Long Xuyen Floating Market – Cau Ke

Wake up at dawn to make the most of the vibrant Long Xuyen Floating Market, a spectacular place for encounters and exchanges. Witness hundreds of boats loaded with a variety of products and fruits, forming towering pyramids. Merchants and customers passionately negotiate, and floating restaurants offer soups and noodles.

After the market, take a boat ride through the arroyos. A delightful stop is planned to savor exotic fruits in local orchards. Return to the Long Xuyen pier where your vehicle awaits.

Depart for Tra Vinh, a province considered the cradle of Khmer culture in the Mekong Delta, while also influenced by Kinh and Hoa cultures. Along the way, make a stop at a bonsai garden or a nursery.

Upon arrival in Tra Vinh, the land of Theravada Buddhist Khmers, visit the Ang Pagoda, built in the 10th century. Explore the Khmer Culture Museum as well.

Enjoy lunch before a short journey to Suonsia Homestay. In the afternoon, embark on an unforgettable bike or walking tour (approximately 1-2 hours) through the countryside to discover the locals' daily life.

Cau Ke – Excursion – Ben Tre

Head towards Ben Tre, known as the "kingdom of coconuts". In the southern part of the city, board a boat for a cruise along the Ben Tre River, one of the branches of the Mekong. This journey will take you to a fascinating traditional brick factory and workshops where mats are woven and coconut candies are made.

Indulge in a tropical fruit tasting session in an orchard before boarding a small rowing boat. Continue this river excursion through the heart of the arroyos, lined with water coconut trees.

The day concludes as you arrive at the rural guesthouse, "Mekong Home."

In the evening, join the family in preparing the famous regional dish called "Banh Xeo," which are rice flour pancakes filled with shrimp and aromatic herbs. After dinner, enjoy a pleasant foot massage offered by the village youth.

We recently enjoyed a fantastic three-week trip with a family of eleven, expertly organized by Mrs. Van Le. Our journey began with a seven-day tour in Hanoi, followed by six days in central Vietnam, and concluded with the remainder of our time in Saigon. Everything went smoothly thanks to her professionalism, warmth, and kindness. The guides were excellent, and the bus drivers were also commendable. We highly recommend this experience with pleasure. 🙏

We have just returned from an exceptional 10-day, 9-night journey through Northern Vietnam and Cambodia, meticulously arranged by Autour Asia Travel for our group of six. The experience was outstanding in every regard! From the moment we shared our preferences - such as the duration of our trip, budget, accommodation ratings, and desired activities - they took care of every detail with remarkable efficiency. The personalized itinerary they crafted was flawless, reflecting their superb attention to detail and commitment to ensuring our satisfaction. A special mention goes to Van Le (Eliese), whose exceptional service and dedication significantly enhanced our travel experience. Her expertise and responsiveness made the entire process seamless and enjoyable. I wholeheartedly recommend Autour Asia Travel for any travel plans in Vietnam, Cambodia, and Thailand. Their professionalism and exceptional service truly set them apart.

Our 23-day private tour with AutourAsia was fantastic! It was our third time booking with them, and they once again provided outstanding service. Ms. Van Le, our contact, was incredibly helpful and patient, even as we made several changes to our itinerary. She was available at all times and even assisted with our return flight issues.

We explored Vietnam and Laos extensively, and as picky travelers, we were thoroughly impressed. The company owner greeted us personally, adding a special touch to our trip, and our guides, Mr. Ping and Mr. Sang, were excellent.

If you're considering a trip to Indochina, I highly recommend AutourAsia. Great service and very reasonable prices!

5.0 Excellent

Our recent tour to Vietnam and Cambodia was truly exceptional, featuring a mix of visits to both well-known attractions and hidden gems off the beaten path. The entire experience was made memorable by the warm hospitality, attentiveness, and high quality of services provided throughout our stay.

One highlight of our trip was the cooking class in Hoi An Ecotour, where we had the opportunity to learn how to prepare traditional Vietnamese dishes like Nem spring rolls and flower salad. The hands-on experience was both fun and educational, and it gave us a deeper appreciation for the local cuisine.

We wholeheartedly recommend this trip to anyone seeking an enriching travel experience. A big thank you to Mr. Duy, Ms. Van Le, and the entire AutourAsia team for their exceptional service and for making our stay so enjoyable.
