 | |  |  | Mekong Delta: The Mekong Delta | Tip Rating:    |  |  | |  |
There are hundreds of tour companies offering to take tourists to the Mekong Delta, but they all offer pretty much the same packages for around the same price. We were advised that it is best to go on a tour, as without a guide you will be hugely overcharged for boat rental and other transport, although I'm not sure how much truth there is in this. We went on a 3 day tour with Happy Tours, located on D Bui Vien, which cost us about $20, including all food, accomodation, transport and a guide. The tour was good, although the 3rd day was a bit of a waste of time as most of it was spent driving back to Saigon. So, unless you plan to carry on into Cambodia (which is a good option) then I'd recommend the two day tour. With this option you get to spend 2 days on the Mekong Delta, and most itineraries include visits to various local factories - rice, coconut candy, rice wine... you get to see performances from local musicians, sample some of the local delicacies and visit a floating market. If you're lucky enough to get a good guide then you can learn a lot about the area and the way of life on the Delta. I wouldn't say that it's a "must-do", but if you have the time, then it's a pretty interesting couple of days. Leave a Comment
