Great trip to mekong delta
This was an exellent trip to mekong delta. Everything was perfectly handled like the pivk up and great lunch with a private chef. We went boating and saw the floating market and also visited some nice sites. Our guide Nguyen great. He told a lot of things not only about the targets but from vietnam generally also. Really can recommend this trip!

Mekong Cai Be Floating Market Tour
Luc was prompt, very knowledgeable and very courteous. He provided a lot of information on the history of Vietnam. We got to learn how to make spring rolls and crispy pancakes, which was then part of our lunch. At one point, because our boat was stuck in water hyacinths, he helped to free the boat. Luc told us of activities we may be interested in while we were in Ho Chi Minh City. He was exceptionally kind and we highly recommend him as a guide for others.

Mekong Delta
One great tour for one day getaway in the farms.l and enjoying real vietbamese culture. The guide was friendly and sharing a lot of info about the places. This is not for relax, you will be biking, walking, kayaking so be ready to enjoy.

A Wasted Day
As Gomer Pyle used to say" Surprise, surprise, surprise!!" Well, my surprise and that of many others is that THERE IS NO FLOATING MARKET AT CAN BE!!!!! Yet Trip Advisor continues to offer advertising slots to Can Be Floating markets. The date is 30th March 2023. I arrived home yesterday after touring Can Be on the 27th February, 2023. What a wasted day out of our lives that will never be be regained. More on that day later..... DON'T GO TO "CAN BE" TO VISIT THE FLOATING MARKETS. THEY HAVE RELOCATED TO THE NORTH OF HCMC.

Why this scores 59
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Authentic Mekong Delta Floating Market Full Day: Private or Group: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Ho Chi Minh City.
How much does Authentic Mekong Delta Floating Market Full Day: Private or Group cost?
+
Prices start at $85 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 Authentic Mekong Delta Floating Market Full Day: Private or Group take?
+
Plan for about 10 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 Authentic Mekong Delta Floating Market Full Day: Private or Group worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 59 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.5/5 across 10 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 Authentic Mekong Delta Floating Market Full Day: Private or Group?
+
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 Authentic Mekong Delta Floating Market Full Day: Private or Group suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 10-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Authentic Mekong Delta Floating Market Full Day: Private or Group?
+
Around 4 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 10-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Authentic Mekong Delta Floating Market Full Day: Private or Group 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.
