Try to go on weekdays, less crowded. It makes alot difference without the presence of china shuttle army.

Looks good. Mui Ne for the white and red sand dunes, fairy stream, fishing village.

Thnx! I'll be going to their office to book the 3 tours on my first day in HCM!! Can't wait!

Just take note NOT to go to the WROng office. I dont know how many fake one are located along the same street since i took a cab straight there but at hanoi theres 3 fake one with 2 having the exact same logo and name

Thnx for the warning! I'll surely bring along my portable fan from q0010 lol. Any comments for the cao dai + tunnel tour and the money island tour? You and the rest have been really helpful in helping me with my itinerary. May you guys have a good day ahead!

our bus were mainly korea china msia people ...
we came to know of these msia 30+ couple, they went there for 7 days

yup even in hcm, also many fake ones ...
the real one price was really very cheap
mekong delta 10sgd per pax with free transport, tour guide, free one meal ...
just like our batam day tour, their meal have fish, spring roll, pork. Very salty!

hi,
do like to check for first timer n alone is it ok to go hcm, and how was the transportation like ? I had search ard n it seem like hcm doesn't have metro or mrt so how do u guys get ard?

Metro coming only in 2018/19...at the meantime, bus, cab etc which is damn cheap compare to sg, esp. bus....around 5k, 6k from end to end, which is 30 to 40 cents nia. Within D1, just walk, not difficult.

that time when i took their tour (on Monday), they have 1 big (2*2 seater) and 1 small bus (2*1 seater). Guess it depends on the no. of pp sign up.

tink the drink u kena chop liao. our tour guide bought a sugar cane drink from the roadside and the rest of us followed suit. only 8,000 dong.

For those who are booking sinhtourist tour to mekong delta,
take note that the bus is a 2*2 seater bus, not 2*1 seater
the bus aircon is super weak, quite hot on the bus
u can see many ppl using their own fan ...
if u r someone who scare standing under the hot sun, can put some sunbloack.
weather is super hot ...

u will take bus + motorboat + small boat (4ppl on my boat) + ride horse
drinks there not cheap, for example sugar cane drink is 200,000 vnd
roadside stalls fruits is about 200,000 vnd

Sugar cane drink at 8000 dong sound reasonable leh but 200 000 dong for the same drink? Must be GOLD sugar cane instead of the usual green one

Ya true...I also sweat easily one...most times curse and swear at the weather over there...but no choice leh. But walk on streets can discover more things but most times my viet wife bring me around as she knows all the good places to visit and eat and comm no problem, so in a way I don't get to discover much about hcmc.
