We then take you to the legendary Cu Chi Tunnels, an aspect of history that reveals the incredible ingenuity and resilience of the people of Vietnam during wartime.

Your enthusiastic guide here presents to you this incredible 6-Day Adventure Through the Mekong: From My Tho to Kampot via Ha Tien! Some important information and tips for going on your best experience of this unforgettable Mekong Tour.
When packing, think light, breathable, and comfortable! Along the Mekong, the weather can be warm and humid, so light clothes like cotton shirts, shorts, and breathable fabrics are indispensable. Protect yourself against the tropical sun with sunscreens, and don’t forget to bring a hat or cap to keep cool. Comfort shoes are a must, more so if visiting the Cu Chi Tunnels and floating markets. A couple of pairs of sandals for the boat rides and stops on the beach would be a good idea, too. And, as always, consider packing a good reusable water bottle to stay hydrated!
Further on from From My Tho to Kampot via Ha Tien, while crossing the border from Vietnam into Cambodia, don’t forget that your passport should be valid for at least six months beyond this trip. You will require a Cambodian visa upon entry; you may be pre-issued online through the official e-Visa website or when you arrive at the border. Remember to bring a few passport photos and some money in US dollars for the visa fee. Also, it is a good idea to carry with you a copy of the details about your travel insurance and keep all papers in a water-resistant bag, just in case!
The Mekong Tour is full of wonders, among which is the tasting of sweet, delicious local cuisine. While in the Mekong Delta, one should not forget to try sweet, chewy coconut candy in Ben Tre because it is just so irresistible. One will get a steaming bowl of Hu Tieu at the Cai Rang Floating Market, which is a very tasty noodle soup and truly a favorite among the locals.
Across the border into Cambodia, yet another delight that beckons your taste! Being sure not to miss this opportunity, one can give in to the world-famous Kampot pepper crab in Kampot: watery combinations of fresh crab cooked in local pepper unique only here. Further along, at Kep, enjoy the freshest seafood right at the Crab Market, where one can have grilled fish, prawns, and squid done right before your eyes.
