The seven-day adventure includes short, achievable backroad rides, boat trips, walking tours and a host of activities to keep the whole family engaged.
Starting in Saigon with sightseeing and an open-air meal at Ben Thanh Market, the tour then visits the Cu Chi Tunnels, the former Viet Cong underground hideout that has been preserved as a museum.
Next, it's on to the Mekong Delta, where every ride along the canals reveals why this region is renowned as Vietnam's foodbowl. See floating markets, rowdy fisherfolk and roadside food vendors; in the evening help your homestay hosts prepare a traditional Southern meal.
A short flight then takes you to the World Heritage-listed town of Hoi An, where you can ride through market gardens, learn to plant or harvest rice, and try your hand at fishing in the estuary with local fishermen.
As with all Grasshopper Adventure tours, an air-conditioned support vehicle follows riders at every step, carrying luggage and anyone who needs a break. A local, English-speaking guide hosts the tour.
