The distance from Ho Chi Minh to Mekong Delta River is around 75 kilometers and it took us more or less two hours to get to our destination. I arranged our tour through Klook at Php 1103. Our guide, Mr. Khun, was knowledgeable enough and toured us in English language. He's so funny and really took care of each one of us. The tour is superb and is a must when visiting Ho Chi Minh. Everything is included in this trip including all mode of transportations, entrance fees, buffet lunch, free taste of coconut candy, beehive and snake experience, crocodile farm, Vietnamese singers in Unicorn island with free fruits of different kind, and a lot lot more.
