Itinerary
Welcome to the Mekong — Transfer & Village Intro
Meet your private driver at Tan Son Nhat International Airport (Ho Chi Minh City). Transfer by air-conditioned vehicle to the Mekong Delta (approx. 2–3 hours), passing lush rice paddies and river canals. Arrive at your comfortable riverside homestay near Cai Be/Ben Tre. Settle into family rooms, enjoy a welcome drink, and join a short orientation walk to meet hosts and children from the village. Evening family dinner with fresh, local specialties.
Important: Light luggage recommended for easier boat transfers.
Full River Village Immersion
Start the day with a traditional Vietnamese breakfast. Board a private boat to explore small canals and floating fruit farms. Visit a riverside workshop to see coconut candy and rice-paper making — families can try simple steps under supervision. Afternoon free time to play with local children, relax in hammocks, or participate in a short orchard fruit tasting.
Tip: Carry sun protection and a reusable water bottle for boat outings.
Market Visit, Bicycle Village Tour & Family Cooking Class
After an early boat ride to a nearby market to see daily trade, return for a gentle bicycle ride through shaded village roads (children's seats or small bikes provided). Midday, join a family-friendly cooking class at the homestay: learn to make simple Vietnamese dishes and child-friendly versions of local favorites. Evening storytelling with your hosts about Mekong traditions.
Note: Bicycles and helmets available for children and adults.
Fishing, Bamboo Boat Ride & Cultural Exchange
Learn traditional casting net fishing with local fishermen — safe, hands-on experience for older kids with life jackets provided. Explore narrow creeks on a bamboo boat (small sampan) and visit a nearby school or artisan home for a cultural exchange. Afternoon craft session: make simple lanterns or river-themed souvenirs.
Important: Children must wear life jackets during all water activities.
Village Relaxation, River Sunset & Farewell Homestay Party
A relaxed morning to cycle or walk the village, visit a fruit orchard for picking, and enjoy river-side games. Late afternoon sunset cruise with juice and snacks — perfect for family photos. Evening farewell dinner with a small performance of local music and dancing hosted by the family.
Tip: Request a family photo package if you'd like professional photos during the cruise.
Transfer to Can Tho & Evening Market Stroll
After breakfast, transfer by road to Can Tho (approx. 2 hours). Check in to a family-friendly hotel near the river. Afternoon visit to Ninh Kieu Wharf for a leisurely walk and riverside parks. Explore a local night market for snacks and souvenirs — try small bites like local pancakes and river prawn skewers.
Note: Hotel rooms reserved with family amenities — baby cots or extra beds available on request.
Cai Rang Floating Market & Local Life
Early-morning visit to the famous Cai Rang Floating Market by private boat to see produce barges, fruit sellers, and lively trading — a highlight for family photographers. Visit a rice noodle workshop and enjoy a riverside brunch. Afternoon free time for rest or optional cyclo tour through Can Tho neighborhoods. Evening cultural performance or free family time at the hotel.
Important: The floating market is busiest early; plan for an early start (approx. 5:00–7:30 AM).
Return to Ho Chi Minh City & Departure

Recent Vietnam Reviews
First Time Trusting a Company, Vietnam Delivered
Honestly, I was nervous handing over our entire Vietnam trip to a company I'd never used before. My wife and I had always planned trips ourselves, so this felt like a big leap. But from the first WhatsApp call with the TourGrids coordinator, things just felt sorted in the right way — he actually listened to what we wanted instead of pushing a standard package. Hotels were proper good, cabs showed up on time every single day, and there were no hidden charges when we did the final payment. Anytime we had a question mid-trip, someone picked up. For a first experience trusting a travel company completely, this was exactly what we needed.
Vietnam Felt Easy Because of One Person
We were a couple traveling to Vietnam for the first time and honestly had no idea where to start. A friend suggested TourGrids, and after one WhatsApp call with our coordinator Priya, most of the confusion cleared up. She was genuinely responsive — not just during planning but throughout the trip. Any small issue, like a hotel check-in delay in Hanoi, she sorted it before we had to follow up twice. Itinerary was well-paced, hotels were proper good, and there were no surprise charges at the end. What stood out was that she actually picked up when it mattered. Felt like someone was actually watching out for us.
Vietnam Trip Ran Well Because of Rohan
My wife and I were planning our first international trip together and honestly had no idea where to start with Vietnam. A colleague suggested TourGrids, so I called them up. From the first conversation itself, our coordinator Rohan was very attentive — he understood exactly what kind of trip we wanted and built the itinerary around that. What really stood out was how reachable he was on WhatsApp throughout the trip. Small things like confirming cab timings in Hanoi or checking hotel check-in details — he replied quickly every single time. No running around, no confusion on the ground. Hotels were proper good, no hidden charges at the end. Felt like someone actually had our back the whole time.
Our Vietnam Coordinator Picked Up Every Single Time
Booked a Vietnam trip for me and my wife through TourGrids, and honestly the coordinator they assigned — Rahul — was the real reason everything went well. We were first-timers in Southeast Asia and had a lot of nervous questions before the trip even started. He was always on WhatsApp, never took more than 20 minutes to reply, and when our Hanoi hotel had a room issue on day two, he sorted it on call within the hour. No drama, no runaround. The itinerary covered Hanoi, Ha Long Bay, and Hoi An — well-paced, nothing felt rushed. Pricing was transparent, no surprise charges at the end. Solid experience overall.
Vietnam Came Together Over a Few Calls
My husband and I had been putting off planning Vietnam for almost a year because it felt overwhelming. A friend suggested TourGrids and honestly, the whole thing came together faster than I expected. I called them once, explained what we wanted — mix of cities, some leisure, not too rushed — and they came back with a proper customised itinerary within a day. We went back and forth a couple of times on WhatsApp to tweak the hotels and day plans, and they adjusted everything without making it feel like a hassle. No surprise charges at the end either. The hotels they picked in Hanoi and Da Nang were genuinely good. Will definitely book through them again.
Our Vietnam Coordinator Was Always One Message Away
We almost cancelled the Vietnam trip because my husband kept worrying about last-minute changes and unfamiliar places. But the coordinator TourGrids assigned us — Rahul — was genuinely on top of everything. Any question we had, even small silly ones about currency exchange or which SIM to buy, he'd reply on WhatsApp within minutes. When our connecting flight got delayed in Hanoi, he was already on a call with the hotel to push back check-in before we even asked. We travelled as a couple and felt like someone had our back the whole time. Hotels were proper good, no surprise charges at checkout. Really, the planning felt effortless from our end.
