UTravel Private Tours highly recommends a Mekong Delta day tour. The tranquil village of Bến Tre town is a great recommendation for an insight into understanding the way rural life is in the Mekong Delta area. Bến Tre village is different from the other Mekong tours. You won’t see many tourists around and you are not in a rush to follow the itinerary.
Instead, you will enjoy every moment getting to know the locals, the way life is. Part of tour could be enjoyed with an easy cycle or a nostalgic motorcart ride along green fields among the village homes. That includes a boat ride in hand-rowed sampan cooled by gentle southern breezes, or having a tasty refreshing coconut drink under the sunlight of this tropical land.
For clients who want a more relaxed pace, we recommend Cần Thơ Mekong Delta Escapade – 2D/1N. Check out our other recommendations on Vietnam tours.
