1-daagse privé drijvende markt Cai Rang en My Tho-boottocht
Beschrijving
Tijdens deze privérondleiding ontdekt u de drijvende markt van Cai Rang, een kleurrijke, bruisende markt met honderden bootverkopers die van zonsopgang tot laat in de ochtend fruit, groenten en warm eten verkopen. En u krijgt de kans om te genieten van een lokaal ontbijt, een kom noedelsoep. Na de drijvende markt nemen we je mee naar een andere stad (My Tho en Ben Tre) voor nog een boottocht. Je loopt het dorp binnen, waar je een lokale fruittuin kunt bezoeken en kunt genieten van het tropische fruit terwijl je luistert naar Zuid-Vietnamese volksmuziek. Neem deel aan de dagelijkse activiteiten van de lokale bevolking en geniet van de sfeer van dit prachtige natuurlijke landschap. Tijdens deze tweede boottocht bezoekt u het bijenhuis en maakt u een foto van de pythons. De lunch wordt geserveerd in de boomgaardtuin. Geniet vervolgens van een roeiboottocht op het kleine kanaal, volledig bedekt door de schaduw van de waterkokospalmen voordat je terugkeert naar Saigon.

Reisroute
Op deze bruisende drijvende markt lijken de kreten van de verkopers te worden opgeslokt door de onmetelijkheid van de rivier en verloren te gaan in het geluid van de scheepsmotoren. De nadelige situatie lijkt de opkomst van een unieke reclamemethode te bevorderen: de verkopers adverteren hun waren vanaf de bovenkant van een lange paal die aan hun boten is bevestigd. Elke boot heeft een hoge rechtopstaande paal waaraan monsters van de te koop aangeboden goederen hangen, zodat de verkopers niet hoeven te schreeuwen wat ze verkopen en kopers de goederen die op die boot worden verkocht gemakkelijk van grote afstand kunnen zien. Kijk gewoon omhoog en u weet precies welke boot de producten levert waarnaar zij op zoek zijn.
Uw middagtocht gaat vanaf hier verder met een gemotoriseerde boot op de rivier de Tien naar het Lan (Eenhoorneilandje). Je bezoekt een lokale fruittuin en geniet van het tropische fruit terwijl je luistert naar Zuid-Vietnamese volksmuziek uitgevoerd door eilandbewoners. Hier kunt u ook deelnemen aan de dagelijkse activiteiten van de lokale bevolking. Bezoek het bijenhuis en maak een foto van de pythons. De lunch wordt geserveerd in het hart van de boomgaardtuin. De boottocht leidt je door het Bao Dinh-kanaal en komt de provincie Ben Tre binnen - 'het land van de kokosnoten'. Hier zie je een typisch landbouwmodel genaamd "Tuin - Vijver - Kooi", voordat je de kokossnoepjeswinkel bezoekt. Geniet vervolgens van een roeiboottocht op het kleine kanaal, volledig bedekt door de schaduw van de waterkokospalmen. Na uw boottocht maakt u nog een boottocht terug naar de haven voordat u terugkeert naar het busje. Je komt rond 17.30 tot 18.00 uur terug in Ho Chi Minh-stad.
De Vinh Trang-pagode ligt aan de Nguyen Trung Truc-straat in de stad My Tho, in de provincie Tien Giang, op ongeveer 4 kilometer afstand van het stadscentrum en op 90 kilometer afstand van de stad Can Tho. Het is niet alleen de grootste pagode in Tien Giang, de Vinh Trang-pagode wordt ook beschouwd als een van de beroemdste tempels in de zuidelijke regio en is erkend als nationaal historisch en cultureel erfgoed.

This tour was TERRIBLE we were basically an ATM on tour. It was the third tour we took with this company. The food tour was excellent and very different than what we experienced on this one. The organization / flow of the tour, starting from the 5am pickup and the guide were not good. The pickup time of 5am, had us at the floating market AFTER the market!!! There was NO market when we got there. This was the entire reason I booked this tour was to see the floating market. After our guide fed us some breakfast (this was actually the highlight of the day), he took us from gift shop to gift shop where we felt continual pressure to tip or buy something. It was very uncomfortable for us as we didn't bring much cash and we also didn't experience the true region as our day was so incredibly touristy. For example, we went to an island where we had some women sing to us then bring us a tip jar. We sat on a pineapple boat at the "floating market" (which had ended for the locals but some touristy boats like this one were still out for the tourists) and had trinkets and bracelets put in front of us. We went to an island in the delta where we had "tea" and then were put bee pollen, honey and candy in front of us to buy. We were taken down a narrow canal where our guide told us to tip the drivers of the boats. We were served lunch at a touristy restaurant where after the meal they came and collected money from us for our drinks (we were not told to pay for drinks ahead). We felt nickel and dimed at every turn. In addition, we weren't told by our guide that we weren't returning to the boat after our third stop and we should to take our things with us (we went to the floating market, then the pineapple boat, then we went onshore to a "wet market") so I left my belongings on the boat for the third time, and this time we did not return to the boat, which had long gone driven off as we finished the wet market and went by car. The guide did not really explain much the entire trip. We didn't get any interesting facts or stories about what we were seeing or the history / current state of the country or region. We learned more by using Google as we went along. He napped in the car. It was really not an interesting or engaging guide. He was very friendly and when asked questions, he would answer, but we have travelled all over the world and the best guides (hell, not even the best...just the baseline!!) engage with their guests and give them some suggestions for the type of information that would make a tour interesting for visitors. It was a huge disappointment, waste of money and we felt like we spent an entire day shuttling around in a car or boat to various destinations where we were expected to put out cash to the locals. We are more than happy to support the local economy of Vietnam and its people, but we would like to do it spontaneously because we are having a great time and are appreciative for what we are experiencing (like the first two tours), instead of feeling pressure and feeling like we are a money machine on tour. It would also be nice to be given a heads up that we'd have to bring about as much cash as we spent to book the tour just to get through all the tipping and / taxing we had as we went along. We tipped our guide and driver out of respect for the low wages in the country, but it was not a sign we were happy with our day. I would absolutely not recommend this tour and regret spending a precious day of our travel on it. Interestingly enough, this company asked for feedback on both this and the food tour. When I gave very positive reviews on that tour, they responded. They went dark after asking for feedback on this tour when I said it was terrible and explained about the day.
JENS we did high-level tourism with it. A lot of knowledge and details in the explanations. Unforgettable moments!!
I had a really great tour with our guide Jens! We have seen and tasted many things! Theo was also always happy to take pictures or answer questions.
Awesome tour. Variety of activities throughout the day. Jens was a great tour guide, very knowledgeable, enthusiastic and great communicator. We enjoyed the boat ride, coconut candy making and the traditional musical of local village people. Highly recommend this tour to everyone!
We had a fantastic day with Saigon Adventures! We travelling in their VIP Sky Bus and I couldn’t recommend that enough for families (or just people wanting a more luxe ride). It felt like being in business class. We were travelling with an 11 month old and 5.5 year old and the journey was incredible comfortable thanks to the reclining seats. The tour itself was fantastic and informative too - thanks to our great guide - Daisy! She was very helpful with the kids and made sure the tour was customised to our needs. We saw pythons, bee hives and cultural dances. We had an amazing lunch (very safe) and great boat rides.
We had a lovely day of a trip to the delta of the Mekong with the wonderful guide Janes who filled the day with most interesting explanations about the country, the region, and the culture.
This tour was the highlight of our holiday in Vietnam. Jens made everything so enjoyable and informative. From crawling through the Cu Chi Tunnels to drifting along the Mekong, it was the perfect mix of adventure and relaxation. My parents loved the cultural insights, and the kids adored the boat rides and snacks. Jens’s energy and storytelling really made the day special. We couldn’t have asked for more!
We joined Jens for the Cu Chi and Mekong Delta day tour, and it was truly unforgettable. Jens has a brilliant way of sharing historical details with warmth and humour even our teenage kids were completely engaged! The contrast between the tunnels and the calm river life was incredible. Every part of the tour was thoughtfully arranged. We learned, laughed, and loved every minute of it.
We had such a great time with our guide Jens, he made this tour more meaninful, more entertainining and definitely insightful. It was a long 12h tour, but we didnt notice as the time passed by. Really great and diverse experience with with hand-on stuff. Jens went over the Moon to make us feel comfortable and we learnt so so much abour Saigon and the Region and the Vietnam in general. All other people were also rwally reaponsive, open and friendly. There are no shops, n pressure to buy anything, just pure pleasure. Jens is 100% recommendable tour guide and this tour doesnt disappoint!
Our Guide Jens made this trip into an unforgetable experience. He shared so much knowledge and could answer any questions we still had. His personality Made the whole tour fun and even the car rides never felt boring.
