1. Why is The Rice Travel the Top Choice for Your Mekong Journey?

Many travel agencies are organizing Western Vietnam tours, but at The Rice Travel, we redefine the customer experience through two core services:

1.1. Private Tours – The Ultimate Flexibility

With our Private Tour service, the itinerary is no longer a set of rigid milestones. We design the journey based on your personal preferences:

• Flexible Timing: Want to start a bit later for some extra sleep? Or stay longer to watch the sunset on the Tien River? We are always ready to adjust.

• Door-to-door Pickup: No need to gather at a meeting point; a Rice Travel vehicle will pick you up at any location within Ho Chi Minh City upon request.

1.2. Large Group Tours – Professionalism and Cost-Efficiency

For organizations, companies, or large families, we guarantee meticulousness in every operational step. From modern transportation to psychologically savvy guides, we ensure every member has wonderful bonding moments.

2. Detailed Itinerary: A One-Day Journey to the Heart of the Riverlands

Let's take a look at the optimized roadmap to help you fully feel the beauty of My Tho and Ben Tre.

2.1. Morning: Departure and the Gateway to the Mekong

• Ho Chi Minh city– Mekong Rest Stop: The vehicle departs from central Saigon towards the gateway of the West. The first stop is the Mekong Rest Stop—where you can rest, have breakfast, and enjoy the fresh morning air.

• Cruising the Tien River: Arriving in My Tho, guests board a boat to begin the journey on the vast Tien River. This is a chance to observe the daily lives of fishermen on floating houses and admire the splendor of the four islets: Long, Lan, Quy, and Phung.

2.2. Exploring Thoi Son Islet (Unicorn Islet)

• Visit a Bee Farm: Visit a traditional honey bee farm. Here, guests can not only learn about the beekeeping process but also enjoy cups of sweet, fragrant honey tea infused with the scent of orchard flowers.

• Enjoy Don Ca Tai Tu: In the cool space of the fruit orchard, guests are invited to enjoy seasonal fruits while listening to the melodies of Don Ca Tai Tu (Southern Folk Music)—a spiritual "specialty" recognized by UNESCO as an Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity.

2.3. Noon: Ben Tre Cuisine and Coconut Candy Village

• Lunch: The boat takes the group to a riverside restaurant to enjoy specialties such as deep-fried elephant ear fish and shrimp steamed in coconut water. For Private Tours, The Rice Travel is ready to suggest premium menus upon request.

• Coconut Candy Workshop: Moving to Ben Tre, guests visit a coconut candy workshop—the soul of the "Land of Coconuts." You will witness the manual candy-making process and enjoy hot candies straight from the oven.

2.4. Afternoon: Visiting Vinh Trang Pagoda

• Vinh Trang Pagoda: Before leaving the Mekong Delta, the group stops at Vinh Trang Pagoda. This ancient pagoda features unique architecture, combining French, Roman, Thai, and Khmer styles. The giant Buddha statues and the peaceful atmosphere here will lighten your soul before returning to the city.

3. "Priceless" Experiences Only at The Rice Travel

More than just a trip, we focus on the emotional value our guests receive:

3.1. Rowing Sampan Through Small Canals

This is the moment to truly immerse yourself in nature. Sitting on a small sampan, weaving under the green water coconut leaves, the gentle sound of the oars will be the medicine to heal all work-related stress.

3.2. Connecting with the Dai Viet Restaurant Chain

As part of a leading tourism-culinary ecosystem in Bui Vien, The Rice Travel connects guests with the Dai Viet Restaurant system. After ending the tour in Saigon, guests can continue their journey of discovering exquisite Vietnamese cuisine right at Bui Vien Walking Street with exclusive privileges.

4. Preparation Tips for a Perfect Trip

To make your My Tho – Ben Tre 1-day tour go as smoothly as possible, The Rice Travel suggests:

• Attire: Wear comfortable, sweat-wicking clothes. Flat shoes or sandals are the best choices as the journey involves boat transfers and walking in orchards.

• Personal Items: Bring a hat, sunglasses, and sunscreen. Don't forget to fully charge your phone to capture the most beautiful frames.

• Timing: The Mekong Delta is most beautiful during the fruit season (June – August) or the flooding season (September – November), though every season has its own charm.

We understand that every trip is an expectation. Therefore, The Rice Travel always commits to:

• Transparency: All costs are clearly communicated with no hidden fees.

• Quality: Modern tourist vehicles, safe boats, and enthusiastic guides with deep local knowledge.

• Personalization: Each Private tour is a "masterpiece" designed specifically for the customer.
