You'll also get to hang out in a resident's home, savor some honey tea water, try various tropical fruits, and munch on some delicious sponge cake.

Excellent Day
Tony was a fun guide who provided lots of information during our tour . The tour was very well organised & not rushed . Definitely has a non touristy vibe & we saw lots of local villages & experienced a traditional lunch in a village where we were able to make & cook some of the food. The highlight was a guided tour through the back of the village on push bikes to see traditional homes & prawn farms. Overall it was a great day & not too longs

The boat over the river Mekong
Our tourguide, Tonny, took us on a wonderful trip through different parts of the Mekong river. Not only could we enjoy tranquil parts of the beautiful Vietnamese nature, but we also had the opportunity to get acquainted with parts of its culture. Would recommend!
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for the kind words! We’re thrilled to hear you had a wonderful trip with Tonny exploring the Mekong River. It’s such a special region, and we’re glad you got to enjoy both the peaceful nature and the rich culture along the way. Tonny will be so happy to hear your feedback — he always aims to make the experience meaningful and memorable. Thanks again for recommending us, and we hope to welcome you on another adventure soon!

Incredible experience
We had an amazing day on the river with our fabulous guide Tri. He was very knowledgeable and had a great sense of humour. We got to see how many products were made and were spoiled with candies, tea, a delicious lunch, and stunning views. It was a very memorable day.
Response from the operator: We want to thank you for being a loyal customer. It has been a joy to serve you. We appreciate your choice in a world where there are many options and possibilities.

Why this scores 69
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
1-Day Explore Non-Touristy Side Of Mekong Delta- Group 10 Max: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Ho Chi Minh City.
How much does 1-Day Explore Non-Touristy Side Of Mekong Delta- Group 10 Max cost?
+
Prices start at $90 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Ho Chi Minh City usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does 1-Day Explore Non-Touristy Side Of Mekong Delta- Group 10 Max take?
+
Plan for about 8 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Ho Chi Minh City is not rushed.
Is 1-Day Explore Non-Touristy Side Of Mekong Delta- Group 10 Max worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 69 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 40 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Ho Chi Minh City, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule 1-Day Explore Non-Touristy Side Of Mekong Delta- Group 10 Max?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is 1-Day Explore Non-Touristy Side Of Mekong Delta- Group 10 Max suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book 1-Day Explore Non-Touristy Side Of Mekong Delta- Group 10 Max?
+
Around 14 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Ho Chi Minh City can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Ho Chi Minh City and add a light layer if any part of the 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does 1-Day Explore Non-Touristy Side Of Mekong Delta- Group 10 Max start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Ho Chi Minh City within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Ho Chi Minh City?
+
On Outty we rank every Ho Chi Minh City experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Adventure Cu Chi Tunnels and Mekong Delta Tour From HCM, Cu Chi Tunnels Small-Group Tour: Vietnam War Underground Network, Cu Chi underground tour - Learn Vietnam war with others. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Ho Chi Minh City?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Ho Chi Minh City?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
