Today, our journey begins with a visit to Saigon's Chinatown, followed by an exploration of the FITO Museum, which showcases traditional Vietnamese medicine. Our next destination is Ben Thanh Market, where you can peruse a diverse collection of goods. After a satisfying lunch, we continue our day with visits to the War Remnants Museum and the Reunification Palace. The afternoon concludes with stops at the neo-Romanesque Notre Dame Cathedral and the City's Central Post Office. As the day transitions into evening, delight in dinner and a night cruise along the Saigon River, offering a captivating view of the city's nocturnal charm.

Commence the day with a visit to the Ho Chi Minh Cooking Class, located just a fifty-minute drive from Saigon. Begin by selecting fresh vegetables and ingredients from the organic farm. Subsequently, immerse yourself in a hands-on cooking class, crafting your own delectable dishes under the guidance of a master chef (duration: 1 hour and 15 minutes). Following the class, you will be guided to explore the remarkable Cu Chi Tunnels.

Today, escape the bustling city as you embark on a 90km (2-hour) journey to Ben Tre. Set sail on your private boat to immerse yourself in the delta's scenic beauty along the Ham Luong River. Explore the distinctive lifestyle of the Mekong Delta by visiting fruit orchards, coconut groves, brick workshops, and more. The boat will make a serene stop at a tranquil village, allowing you to stroll and visit a local family, gaining insights into the traditional craft of making sedge mats. Enjoy tea and tropical fruits, opt for a ride on a "Xe Loi" (motorized rickshaw), or venture onto your bicycle to pedal through charming villages. Pause at a riverside restaurant for a delectable and satisfying lunch. Following this, board a sampan for a leisurely cruise along narrow canals. The boat will be ready at the nearby pier to take you back to Ben Tre, from where we will journey to Can Tho City, the vibrant heart of the Mekong Delta.

In the morning, we embark on a boat journey to experience the vibrant Cai Rang floating market (renowned for its bustling array of rowing boats), a true spectacle showcasing the serene landscape and the bustling daily routines of the locals residing along the Mekong canals. Following this, you'll traverse the village, exploring a rice husking mill and a rice noodle production site, offering unique insights into the everyday life of the people in the Mekong Delta region. Around midday, we'll return to Saigon, granting you the remainder of the day for your leisure.

Your delightful journey through Southern Vietnam concludes today as we assist with your transfer to the airport and ensure your smooth departure for your outbound flight.
