The mekong.. Book a tour or do it ourselves?

Hi,

Need a bit of help with our trip.

We plan on spending 3 nights in the area. Travelling by the express ferry from HCMC to Can Tho.

Then where to??

We would like to do a homestay in the area, but do we stay all the nights in Can tho %26amp; do some day trips, book an organised tour?, do a overnight cruise? I am lost.

When we leave Can Tho we will be flying to Ha noi, flight leaves at 1545.

Help please, my husband %26amp; I are travelling with our 8yr old son.

Thanks

off topic a little but on the river, if you go laos or area with mossies(most of coastal VN) take anti-malaria tabs. A good friend recently spent two weeks in hospital in london because of this! I%26#39;ve done the chinese side(lang cang he) without issues like that.
