The 15 Best My Tho Tours

1.Mekong Delta, My Tho & Ben Tre Coconut Village

★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 3,304 reviews · 9 hours · from $16Our pick

Spend nine hours exploring the Mekong Delta from Ho Chi Minh City, with motorboat and sampan rides, a Ben Tre coconut workshop, a riverside Vietnamese lunch and orchard folk music. An English-speaking guide leads the day; guides have included Ken, James, Phong and Steve. Expect plenty of stops, warm weather and possible road delays.

“A good way to spend a day off when you visiting Ho Chi Minh City. The tour takes you to places worth seeing. Of course, it's aimed at getting some extra cash out of you, but let be frank: these are products you'd actually want to buy anyway, like delicious coconut candies or some local honey. Big applause for Little Trung, thanks to this charismatic guide, we felt very well guided and taken care of.”
