What people love about Mekong Delta Tours from Ho Chi Minh City
- Mekong Delta from Saigon to Phnom Penh 3 days
We did the Mekong Delta tour and thoroughly enjoyed it !! Our company tour guide was a wealth of information and put a fun and humorous spin on explaining things we saw on the way and what we seen on the tour answering any questions we had and informing us.
- Mekong Delta Tour 3 Days 2 Nights - Express Boat to Cambodia
We absolutely LOVED our 3-day Mekong Delta Tour, which began in Ho Chi Minh City and finished in Phnom Penh. We had initially planned to fly between the two cities, but then stumbled upon this tour. Because of the very affordable price, we weren't sure what to expect, but honestly loved everything about it. Our tour guide, Yen, was fantastic and always made an effort to explain things to us and answer our questions. We got to experience local customs, village visits and boat rides, which broke up our travel time on the bus nicely. We had a 'homestay' arranged for us, which is essentially like a bungalow-style hotel in a village. We had a great time meeting other travellers who were staying there from other tours and continued to meet up with them afterwards. What impressed me the most overall was how well-organised everything was (timings of boat transfers and village excursions, entry tickets, hotel pick-ups, etc.) Just so smooth and ran like clockwork. We are so glad we booked this tour and will definitely be recommending it to our friends and family.
- Mekong Delta Tour Speed Boat to Cambodia 3 Days
The tour was very well organised from start to finish with clear instructions and seem less transfers between activities. The activities were fun and insightful and a highlight was the floating market. I felt we really saw how people on the Mekong Delta live and some Vietnamese traditions. The accommodations was basic but given the price reasonable - the home stay was very good and it was lovely speaking to a Vietnamese family. Our only surprise was how little time we actually spent travelling on the river - I had imagined that we would spend most of the time travelling to Cambodia on the river however the first two days we travelled by bus with the last day heading into Cambodia on a fast ferry for 5 hours.
What our customers ask about Mekong Delta Tours from Ho Chi Minh City
What are the typical itinerary highlights for the first day starting in Ho Chi Minh City?
The day begins with visits to the city's architectural landmarks including the Reunification Palace with its preserved 1960s rooms Notre Dame Cathedral and the colonial-era Saigon Central Post Office. A lunch break often takes place at the Liberty Central Riverside Hotel before moving to the vibrant streets of Cholon (Chinatown) where visitors explore the local market and ornate Thien Hau temple. As one TourRadar traveler mentioned: "Our guide was excellent in introducing us to the city's history while visiting these landmarks making the experience truly memorable." The day concludes with check-in at select hotels such as the Alagon Saigon Hotel or The Myst Dong Khoi before the Mekong Delta portion begins the following day.
What's the best time of year to start a Mekong Delta tour from Ho Chi Minh City?
December through February offers the most pleasant conditions for Mekong Delta tours with temperatures ranging from 25-30°C and clear skies. These conditions create comfortable settings for outdoor activities including visits to the Cu Chi Tunnels and floating markets. As one TourRadar traveler noted: "We visited in January and had perfect weather for boat rides and cycling through villages making the experience much more enjoyable." While tours run year-round the summer season from May to September brings heat and rain leading operators to modify schedules around weather patterns.

Hotels in Ho Chi Minh City range from budget-friendly to luxury properties. The Myst Dong Khoi stands out for upscale stays while the Alagon Saigon Hotel serves mid-range travelers and Queen Ann Hotel fits budget needs. As confirmed by a TourRadar traveler: "The Alagon Saigon Hotel was perfectly located in District 1 making it easy to explore the city before our delta tour began." The properties cluster in District 1 putting guests near attractions and tour meeting points.
What are the most popular starting points within Ho Chi Minh City for Mekong Delta tours?
Tour departures concentrate in three main zones: the tourist hub near Ben Thanh Market in District 1 the waterfront area by Bach Dang Wharf and the hotel district along Dong Khoi Street.

Most operators provide hotel pickup across Districts 1 3 and 5.
How long should I plan to stay in Ho Chi Minh City before starting the Mekong Delta tour?
A 1-2 day stay in Ho Chi Minh City helps travelers adjust to local time and explore key sites like the War Remnants Museum and Ben Thanh Market. A TourRadar traveler mentioned: "Having two days in Ho Chi Minh City before our delta tour gave us perfect orientation to Vietnamese culture and helped us appreciate the contrast between city and rural life." Popular packages such as the "Impressive Ho Chi Minh City 6 Days 5 Nights" build in time for city exploration.
What's included in the first day's meals when departing from Ho Chi Minh City?
Tour packages typically cover lunch at established venues like Liberty Central Riverside Hotel or local restaurants near Ben Thanh Market. A TourRadar traveler shared: "Our first lunch in Ho Chi Minh City included delicious pho and fresh spring rolls perfect preparation for the local cuisine we'd experience in the delta." When booking through tour operators breakfast comes included at partner hotels such as Alagon Saigon Hotel or The Myst Dong Khoi.
