The guided excursion to the Mekong Delta takes up a full day. You leave in the morning usually and return at sunset. The guided excursion to the Cu Chi tunnels usually takes half a day, and are sometimes combined with an itinerary to visit Cao Dai sites to take up a full day. Prices are posted at those agencies at Pham Ngu Lao and are transparent. Anyway, agencies pool their clientele and resources. You may find yourself grouped together in the same van with visitors from other agencies.

Since is your first time, do go see the benh thanh market, war museum etc. It is all in district 1. The easiest way is to book a city tour near your hotel.

Actually you can easily get a hotel in bui vien which is the backpacker's area. Vn hotel really cheap and good. Other than that, you can visit cu chi tunnel and mekong delta.

Best is still go dalat where they have cool weather. I want to go there relax one day too.
