Wonderful tour and guide in South Vietnam
Had a fantastic tour with Mr Lam. We did the tour in reverse (starting in Phnom Penh) and the tour operator and guide were very flexible. Lam looked after us really well, even sitting down for meals with us which is unusual and we appreciated it. Great conversations and lots of laughs, teaching us the local way to eat (esp. lettuce), local dishes that we would not have found, and teaching us some Vietnamese too. There were some extra surprises, like a "duck massage" and making puffed rice. When we were ill one morning, Lam adjusted the tour to accommodate seamlessly and was very caring and helpful. Would highly recommend this tour and guide.
Response from the operator: Hi Mr/Mrs, Thank you for reaching out and providing us with your valuable feedback. We hope you had a fantastic experience with TNK and looking forward to seeing you again. Best regard, TNK Travel Team

Incredible….
Excellent service from start to finish. From the moment I started organising my two tours Gwen was attentive efficient and extremely kind and friendly. She organised both the tours which proved to be faultless. The first one we did was with LILLY to the tunnels. Lilly was beyond informed, spoke beautiful English (and other languages), hilarious polite interested and nothing was a problem. Fantastic Host. The Mekong delta we did with JASON who was professional thorough engaging chatty knowledgable and extremely kind. We had a personal problem at the end of the tour and both Gwen and Jafo. Kept helping us. We felt completely supported and we would have struggled without them. A massive thanks to all 3. A message to the owners- the quality of these three staff is impeccable. This should be noted and rewarded. If they lived in the Uk I would employ all three without hesitance.

Great tour & guide: consider 2 days
Daisy was great! Phenomenal tour guide! Would consider doing 2 days instead of 3 just cause of the length but all personal preference. Daisy was great communicating before and all the stops were wonderful with lots of things to see. Very cultural experience and would recommend to anyone visiting Ho Chi Minh.

Why this scores 75
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Mekong Delta 3-Day: Saigon to Phnom Penh Gateway: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Ho Chi Minh City.
How much does Mekong Delta 3-Day: Saigon to Phnom Penh Gateway cost?
+
Prices start at $373 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 Mekong Delta 3-Day: Saigon to Phnom Penh Gateway take?
+
Plan for about 72 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 Mekong Delta 3-Day: Saigon to Phnom Penh Gateway worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 75 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.7/5 across 247 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 Mekong Delta 3-Day: Saigon to Phnom Penh Gateway?
+
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 Mekong Delta 3-Day: Saigon to Phnom Penh Gateway suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 72-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Mekong Delta 3-Day: Saigon to Phnom Penh Gateway?
+
Around 86 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 72-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Mekong Delta 3-Day: Saigon to Phnom Penh Gateway 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.
