Imagine Vietnam …
…you board your private sampan and float out into the mighty Mekong Delta…


Walk over “monkey bridges” to meet locals, hanging out on their front porch during “cocktail hour” – which likely means a jug of homemade rice wine, passed around for all to share.



More gastronomic highlights await!
In the southern city of Saigon (or Ho Chi Minh City, as the North Vietnamese call it), you hop on a back-of-the-bike street food tour, out of the tourist zone and into 9 districts rarely touched by tourists. There you’ll taste crab, and sticky rice, green papaya salad and the city’s best goat hot pot. At the Vietnamese pancake stand, your guide arranges for you to get behind the stand and play pancake lady. None of the locals know quite what to make of this, but you turn out to be a great sidewalk chef!
