Absolutely blown away
I took a 2 week tour of Vietnam and Cambodia, and it was an experience of a lifetime. The organizers of the tour made sure that ALL my requests were attended to, with efficiency and professionalism. The tour guides at every stop were knowledgeable, patient, and obviously proud of their country. I would certainly recommend this and other tours with this agency. They know very well their product and demonstrate this in their care and attention to detail. They are client focused, with a mission to ensuring that the client gets value for money and is left with a feeling of satisfaction.

Highly recommended!
It was private tour perfectly organized by Lily from Asia Travel & Leisure - 4 weeks, 3 countries, many tours, excursions and other activities! We enjoyed every element of this long and very complicated tour - guides, drivers, hotels, internal flights, boat rides, cruise, meals - everything was perfect! Special thanks personally to our travel agent - Lily Nguen! She did great job and helped us with everything we asked for!

Awesome tour from South to North Vietnam
We booked a tour from South to middle, to North Vietnam through Vietnam Travel, Clory Minh Anh helped us put together a nice travel tour, she greeted us at airport and was supporting us during the trip. We got excellent services from the travel teams and they exceeded our expectations. Will definitely reach out to Vietnam Travel for future trips.

I got a very enjoyable holiday in Vietnam through knowledgeable tour consultant and guides
I went on a 8 days trip with Vietnam Travel, Asia Travel & Leisure. The planning was handled and finalised by sales consultant Clory (Minh Anh), after some checking and confirmation by both sides. Clory showed a good understanding of the places of interests in Vietnam, an ability to grasp the visitors requirements. We finally settled on Ho Chi Minh City and Da Nang as base, and I visited the following places : Black Virgin Mountain - Tay Ninh (Ba Den Mountain) Mekong Delta - Ben Tre BaNa Hills Hoian Hue Clory personally met me on arrival, despite the fact that it was nearly 4 hours later than the scheduled arrival time. The places I visited were very scenic, the mini bus we travelled on were clean and the journey was smooth. The respective day tours guides accompanying us were also knowledgeable, Rest stops, bottled water, nice lunches, dinner (for Hoian) were well provided for the comfort of the visitors. All queries from us, right down to the type of tea or coffee to buy home, or to consume there, were well answered. Before my arrival in Vietnam, I was still anxious and hope that everything will get on smoothly. Upon arrival, I felt at ease by the presence of the tour consultant Clory, who finalised my trip In all subsequent days, updates were provided by Clory, well handled by the tour guides that I left Vietnam with a very positive image of everything I have experienced (the country, people, food, culture, history, and of course the tour company and all the staff who made it possible). I am now more confident of searching for more of other places in Vietnam for a future visit, and the people whom I can approach for another nice holiday in Vietnam.

Why this scores 60
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Ben Tre Day Trip From Ho Chi Minh City: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Ho Chi Minh City.
How much does Ben Tre Day Trip From Ho Chi Minh City cost?
+
Prices start at $115 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 Ben Tre Day Trip From Ho Chi Minh City take?
+
Plan for about 6 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 Ben Tre Day Trip From Ho Chi Minh City worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 60 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 11 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 Ben Tre Day Trip From Ho Chi Minh City?
+
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 Ben Tre Day Trip From Ho Chi Minh City suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 6-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Ben Tre Day Trip From Ho Chi Minh City?
+
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 6-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Ben Tre Day Trip From Ho Chi Minh City 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 Cai Be Mekong Delta Tour: Cooking Class, Cycling & Craft Villages, Adventure Cu Chi Tunnels and Mekong Delta Tour From HCM, Cu Chi Tunnels and Mekong Delta 1 Day Tour With Small Group. 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.
