Mekong Delta traditional boat trip

Today, let me share with you my experiences on my first trip.com tour! It cost only £20 and visited the main sights in the Mekong Delta region, focusing on local experiences.

*The tour itinerary*
From Ho Chi Minh City we headed out to My Tho to explore a temple and pagoda complex. Then, we went to a small bee farm to try local honey tea. After this, we enjoyed a short traditional music show from local villagers, accompanied by delicious tropical fruits. Finally, a short trip down a narrow river on traditional wooden boats, before ending at a coconut candy shop to purchase local gifts and learn about the manufacturing process.

*Top tips*
To make the most of your Mekong Delta tour, I recommend:
- Travel alone: a group tour is a great way to meet new people from all around the world.
- Bring plenty of suncream and water: the weather was very hot, and these were not provided by the tour.
- Bring money for gifts: you can purchase gifts made from local honey, coconut and wood, which make excellent souvenirs or presents for friends back home.
