Most will recommend The Sinh Tourist, but I booked with Sapphire Travel, also in Pham Ngu Lao area. Paid only VND180K per pax for a whole day tour to Mekong Delta, include 2 way, lunch, sampan ride, etc. Very cheap! If you prefer private or smaller group, it will be more ex. Btw, my viet wife used to be in hotel business and she thinks Sinh ones too normal and not worth the price, so she picked this.

Is it this one? https://www.facebook.com/SapphireTravel146/

You mean approx. SGD12/pax for the whole day tour? Possible to book only upon arrival?

I book Sinh Tourist last week to mekong. It was 219k . I was late and the bus left. When i arrived, i asked "how"? They simply told me to wait for the next bus. There are 4 buses going everyday.
Oh ya, got some pretty korean babes too!

I have seen before, luckily thanks to my baby. For those not aware, and not sure if TSN airport advertise it, they have implemented priority queue for those with handicap, young children and old folks, just approach airport staff to enquire and they will bring you to the priority Q, super fast clear the custom in few minutes. So good if you meet those criteria...LOL.

If you guys can apply for apec card. Get it for priority clearance. :o

I did not see a apec counter at HCM airport, maybe I had missed it. I tried using the apec card at the diplomat/priority/elderly queue and was chased back to the long queue by the officer.

LOL, those counters are for old folks, handicap and those with young children. Diplomat no need say, always priority.

I'm reading that there are some fake Sinh Tourist. Can anyone link me to the real Sinh Tourist? And its address? Or anyone has good experience with other tours?

Have a viettel data SIM card if anyone needs.

According to the vendor outside airport, its unlimited data for a month.
Activated on 11th Aug so I assume its usable until 10th Sep.

Can meet to pass at Raffles Place or Kovan area
