Traveler reviews
2 verified traveler reviews for Mekong Delta Full Day Tours - The Upper Mekong River. Ratings and reviews provided by Viator and Tripadvisor.
Thank you to the entire team, to our guides, especially Nhung and little Bambou.
Support from start to finish, an extraordinary stay without any worries as the follow-up was remarkable and incredibly kind; a country to discover…

A very enjoyable tour
The tour was largely as expected and very enjoyable on the whole. The pick up and drop off were on time and the transport was comfortable, with a good local guide. An additional stop at a bamboo products store was included. Only 2 of the 4 islands were visited, the other two were not even pointed out during the boat ride. The lunch was good, if a little rushed. Overall, a really enjoyable and worthwhile trip, but those with limited mobility will struggle with getting on and off the boats.

Mekong Delta Full Day Tours - The Upper Mekong River: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Ho Chi Minh City.
How much does Mekong Delta Full Day Tours - The Upper Mekong River cost?
+
Prices start at $44 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 Full Day Tours - The Upper Mekong River 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 Full Day Tours - The Upper Mekong River worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 52 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.5/5 across 2 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Ho Chi Minh City, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Mekong Delta Full Day Tours - The Upper Mekong River?
+
No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.
Is Mekong Delta Full Day Tours - The Upper Mekong River 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 Full Day Tours - The Upper Mekong River?
+
Around 1 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 Full Day Tours - The Upper Mekong River 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.
What is included in Mekong Delta Full Day Tours - The Upper Mekong River?
+
Included: Food for Lunch,guide,entrance fee,pick up & transfer. Not included: Drinks order. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does Mekong Delta Full Day Tours - The Upper Mekong River include hotel pickup?
+
Yes, pickup is offered, or you can meet at the start point instead from 3 listed pickup locations in and around Ho Chi Minh City. Be ready about 30 minutes before the start time.
What languages is Mekong Delta Full Day Tours - The Upper Mekong River offered in?
+
It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Mekong Delta Full Day Tours - The Upper Mekong River?
+
