Review from the Caron Group (3 travelers – Canada) – 11-day trip in Southern Vietnam

Travel period: March 2025

Participants: 3 adults

Itinerary: Saigon – Ben Tre – Tra Vinh – Can Tho – Tra Su – Chau Doc – Phu Quoc

Overall rating: 9.5/10

Our favorite moments:

• The peaceful canals of Ben Tre
• The biodiversity of Tra Su
• The laid-back atmosphere of Phu Quoc

We experienced an unforgettable journey, blending culture, nature, relaxation, and human connection. Each stage had its own charm, with smooth organization, a caring guide, and a gradual immersion into the richness of the Mekong Delta.

What we loved:

The vibrant energy of Saigon, the contrast between colonial buildings and modern skyscrapers, visits to Ben Thanh Market, the Central Post Office, and the War Remnants Museum — perfect for starting the tour with an urban burst before the calm of the Mekong. We loved the peaceful boat rides through coconut-lined canals, meeting Nhon Thanh’s basket-weaving artisans, tuk-tuk rides to the serene Nhi Long village, and the colorful, lively Ong Pagoda — a beautiful example of Chinese influence. The Tra Su Reserve was a magical experience: gliding silently through water channels carpeted with duckweed, watching herons, cormorants, and storks.

We highly recommend this type of tour to travelers seeking to discover the soul of Southern Vietnam beyond the usual circuits. It was a deeply human, sensory, and soothing adventure — perfectly suited to anyone in search of authenticity.
