Worth in what sense?

like is the premium (if any) of just signing up a tour vs self plan cheaper or not?

Based on my Mui Ne trip 2 yrs back. I found out that booking at the local tour agency (except via hotel) was $10 cheaper compared to the same local tour I had booked via Klook.

If u have time to source for a local tour agency before yr intended Mekong delta tour date. You can consider to take a chance at HCM first. If you can't find or the local agency is more expensive, u can still book via klook.
I feel u might have nothing to lose trying yr luck at HCM.

I remember a couple years back when i went for the mekong delta river tour…
They have two pricing: foreigner and local
And of course foreigner is like double the fee and english speaking guide.

go down the river… see their local products
Maybe some dancing singing and performances. 2-3 hours done

I think the video already quite obvious not fully opened for public. Within 30 days of opening got free tickets to take the ride. Cannot be so few people on the stations and trains.

 

[rrr2015]

Official opening on 22 dec 2024
free ride 15-21 dec 2024 for those who register online

I came back HCM recently, solo trip

Let me share my pic, btw Saigon Japan town is really fun

Hi all,
From my recent trip to HCM, I realized tht now there is a designated PHV pick up point at Tan Son Nhat international airport. I think it used to be at the common vehicle lanes, where it is more chaotic.

Sharing it for those 1st timers going to HCM.

For info, it's been there for a year or more. Good sharing for first timer.
