A memorable day
This trip offered an opportunity to get out of the HCM city and see some beautiful countryside and a contrasting, more relaxed way of life. I appreciated being picked up from the hotel, which is outside usual pick up area at 7am and indeed this contributed to my selection of this trip over other possibilities. Although it is a longer drive than some day trips, it was totally worth it. The driver drove very safely, and my guide Xiem, spent the first part of journey carefully and entertainingly explaining the history and geography of country which was fascinating, particularly as this was my first visit to Vietnam. The 2 boat trips were wonderful and relaxing, and cycling/walking provided a way of slowly taking the time to absorb the atmosphere of the places too. A really lovely day at the end of a busy work trip and convinced me to return for a holiday in near future. Thank you so much. Best wishes, Mary

We had a fantastic day...
We had a fantastic day with our guide, Xem, and couldn’t have asked for a better experience. He was incredibly knowledgeable about Vietnam’s history and the Mekong region, which really brought the places we visited to life. We especially appreciated the stories he shared throughout the day—they added a personal and memorable touch to the tour. He also mentioned, with a smile, that he “doesn’t like his job but loves it,” and that perfectly sums up his passion. You can absolutely tell he genuinely cares about what he does. Thank you for such an enjoyable and insightful day—we’d highly recommend this tour and Xem to anyone visiting the area.

Our wonderful Mekong Ricer tour with Tony
We had an amazing Mekong Delta tour with Tony (aka Tue) as our day guide. He was absolutely outstanding – extremely engaged, passionate, and clearly put a lot of effort into showing us everything and explaining the culture, history, and daily life along the way. His English was very good and easy to understand, and you could really feel that he truly loves his job and guiding people. This made the whole experience much more personal and memorable. We couldn’t have asked for a better guide and would highly recommend Tony aka Tue to anyone visiting the Mekong Delta.

Wonderful and memorable trip to Mekong Delta
We had the a wonderful experience touring the Mekong Delta, all thanks to our fantastic guide Jen ! She organized the day perfectly, taking us to very interesting and beautiful places that we would never have found on our own. From start to finish, she was friendly, kind, and professional. She provided us with useful information not just about the Delta, but also great advice for the rest of our stay in Vietnam, which made our trip even better. We highly recommend her services to anyone visiting the area; she truly made our experience memorable and special! Thank you Jen !

Why this scores 66
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Mekong Delta Ben Tre Non-touristy Full-Day - VIP Private Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Ho Chi Minh City.
How much does Mekong Delta Ben Tre Non-touristy Full-Day - VIP Private Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $110 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 Ben Tre Non-touristy Full-Day - VIP Private Tour 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 Mekong Delta Ben Tre Non-touristy Full-Day - VIP Private Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 66 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 42 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 Ben Tre Non-touristy Full-Day - VIP Private Tour?
+
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 Ben Tre Non-touristy Full-Day - VIP Private Tour 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 Mekong Delta Ben Tre Non-touristy Full-Day - VIP Private Tour?
+
Around 15 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 Mekong Delta Ben Tre Non-touristy Full-Day - VIP Private Tour 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.
