    Approximately 105 km from Ho Chi Minh City, Cai Be is a charming river town known for its tropical fruit gardens, waterfront villages, floating market, river islands, local crafts, and friendly locals.
    From 7:00 to 7:15 AM, our minivan will pick you up for a two-hour journey to Cai Lay, renowned for its tropical horticulture featuring fruits like longan, jackfruit, durian, pomelo, and rambutan. Cycling under the lush green canopy along tranquil countryside lanes, you will cover 18-25 km to explore fruit orchards and witness local daily life. Upon reaching Cai Be, observe locals crafting puffed rice, coconut candy, rice paper, and more at the village.
    Next, we’ll board a boat for a relaxing cruise on the Mekong River, passing riverfront villages and the Cai Be floating market. Lunch will be served at a local garden house on Tan Phong Island, featuring specialties like pancakes, deep-fried elephant ear fish, and longan berry wine.
    After lunch, we’ll navigate narrow natural canals on wooden sampans to observe local activities. Later, the journey shifts to Long An, renowned for its large red-fleshed dragon fruit plantations and rice fields. Enjoy a bike ride, covering 15-22 km through dragon fruit farms and rice paddies as the sun sets. Our guide will explain how farmers cultivate dragon fruit trees and maintain their agricultural practices. You’ll have the opportunity to taste fresh fruits straight from the trees and enjoy the serene pathways amidst the rice fields at dusk.
    Following a full day of exploring the delta, unwind with a cold beer and snacks before returning to Saigon, arriving at the hotel around 7 PM. As the tour concludes, don’t forget to leave a tip!

Vietnam is just epic in every sense! Stephen at My Way Travel built us a bespoke tour to our requested place's from HoChiMin to Phan Thiet, DaLat, NaTrang, HoiAn, Halong Bay ending in Hanoi & it was amazing! All hotels, 3 tour guides over 5 day tours , drivers & transport worked very well & Stephen responded very quickly to any queries. We can’t thank or recommend him highly enough for helping us create an amazing adventure for a 70+ couple where everything was booked & organised but we had plenty of free time to explore on our own & find places for dinner most nights of our 18day trip. I’ll admit I was a little worried about using an unknown to me online agent but I really didn’t need to worry. The only thing I/we got wrong was not realising how tiring a busy tour can be especially in the heat so I’d recommend having a few days on a beach or round a pool relaxing before retuning back to Europe of further afield! Thanks Stephen for creating a well priced pretty last min wonderful tour for us!

Wow, what a trip and experience. My Way Travel did an excellent job in creating a customized private tour itinerary for our 5 week trip to Indochina. Stephen was very responsive and easy to work with in creating a perfect itinerary, customized to our interests, budget, and timeframe. The logistics were well managed and all the tour guides and drivers in all 4 countries were fantastic. Stephen kept in touch throughout our trip to ensure everything was going well. The drivers were all excellent, prompt, and very safe drivers. Special call out to our guides; Tony, Kay, and Loc in Vietnam, Sony and Sambath in Cambodia, and Anne in Thailand for a fantastic cultural and historical experience in your respective countries. These guides were the best and really made our trip special. The sights that we saw were incredible, including Ha Long Bay and of course, Ankgor Wat. We really enjoyed the elephant sanctuary in Laos and the Laos city of Luang Prabang is a hidden gem. The bike tours that we did in Hoi An (Kay) and the Mekong Delta (Loc) to really get into the countryside and engage with local families was an incredible experience that we really enjoyed and will always cherish. We even got to stop at a local school and interact with some of the school children trying to practice their English which was pretty cool. We had a great bike tour in Siem Reap (Sambath) and all the incredible temples around Ankgor Wat. The tours that we had to understand and experience these countries from a historical and cultural perspective, brought to life by our tour guides, really made this trip a unique experience. We were well taken care of throughout our travels and the service and people were so friendly. We would highly recommend My Way Travel for your next trip to SE Asia and will not hesitate to use them in the future. Hopefully you get lucky enough to have some of the tour guides that we had.

This was the fourth trip we have done with My Way Travel and arranged by Stephen. As always it was impeccably organised from arriving in Bangkok, flights to Chiang Rai, tour to the elephant sanctuary, to Krabi for a few days at the beach then transfer to Phnom Pen for the higlight of our trip, a cruise up the Mekong on a seriously luxurious boat, then transfer to Seam Riep. The hotels were excellent, the transfers seemless with good english speaking guides. We cannot recommend Stephen more highly.

An amazing trip out together by Stephen at My Way Travel! This was our second trip ( went to Vietnam and Cambodia 2019). Stephen is great to work with- very flexible and listens to what we wanted to do. This trip was originally scheduled for April 2020. A honest company that asked if I wanted my deposit back and I said no - that I would use it in a future trip! How many companies around the world did this???? We had great guides In Bangkok and Chiang Rai and Chiang Rai. Fon was full of energy and fun in Bangkok. Ann was one of the best guides I have ever had- she took us to a couple of places not noted on the tour. We went for a hike at a waterfall and visited the cave where the Thai boys were rescued in the cave. Both Ann and Fon gave us wonderful suggestions for restaurants. I would absolutely recommend Stephen and My Way Travel! We plan to use him again in planning Bali!
