4.HCMC: Cai Rang Floating Market & Mekong Delta Private Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.4 · 38 reviews · from $140

Leave Ho Chi Minh City early for Cai Rang Floating Market, then cruise from My Tho among river islets and narrow coconut-lined canals. Your English-speaking guide, such as Dang, Việt, Theo, or Annie, helps explain local life. Lunch, boats, entrance fees, water, and hotel transfers are included.

“We had a great experience. Although I wasn’t sure about the “private guide” part — and the higher cost, I’m glad we chose it. Theo (our guide) was very knowledgeable and easy to get along with (and has solid English skills). The limo (a highly-appointed passenger van) was super comfortable. Although we saw other tourists at many of the places along the tour, we had a superior experience, getting to do things rather than just see them.”
