Take a holiday to the Mekong Delta and explore the Cu Chi Tunnel, take boat rides in My Tho, sample exotic fruits, and visit the Cai Rang Floating Market. All these and more—all arranged and hassle-free!
Located on the Saigon River, Ho Chi Minh City is Vietnam’s major port and largest metropolis, with an estimated population of over eight million people. For many, Saigon—as it’s still called by all—can seem to be one chaotic mess of traffic-clogged roads and urban bustle. But most of them have since been seduced by the hidden charms of one of Southeast Asia’s liveliest cities.
Teeming markets, sidewalk cafés, massage and acupuncture clinics, centuries-old pagodas, sleek skyscrapers, and ramshackle wooden shops selling silk, spices, baskets, and handmade furniture all vie for attention amidst this surreal, multi-colored city.
The Mekong River is the lifeblood of Southeast Asia. In this exclusive Signature Tour from Journeys Within, guests will be escorted down this amazing river from Yunnan Province, China, to the Mekong Delta in Vietnam. Along the way, you will visit highlights of China, Burma, Thailand, Laos, Cambodia, and Vietnam, as well as see daily life as it happens on the river. With Western tour leaders as well as English-speaking local guides, no question will go unanswered, and the beauty, history, and activities of the people and places will come alive.
From traditional villages to bustling capitals, from ancient temples to modern palaces, pass through or along the borders of six countries on everything from a 34-foot cruise boat to a local long-tail boat.
