Luxury Vietnam Tour Review: Saigon, Ho Chi Min, Mekong Delta Mango Cruise, Vespa City Tour, Temple Bicycle Tour

The cruise on a Mango Cruise boat on the Mekong delta was absolutely fabulous.  

We floated around the canals and channels for 2.5 days - without seeing another tourist the whole time.  The boat was gorgeous; the crew lovely; and the guide very knowledgeable, with fantastic English and the right balance of being on hand and giving us time to ourselves.  As well as watching the world go by from the boat, we also got off every few hours for a visit to a village or a bike ride around visiting things like temples.  We got to make rice paper in someone's house, meet an ex-soldier, see coconuts being processed, learn about the culture, wander around wet markets and visited villages and towns we would have never found ourselves.

I would recommend a Mango Cruise on the Mekong Delta to anyone without doubt.

The Vespa tour around Saigon at night was also fab.  You zip through the city in amongst all the other bikes on the back of your vespa, stopping for a different course of a meal at a different place throughout the night.  Great fun.
