★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 1,148 reviews · from $23Our pick

Spend about nine hours visiting My Tho and Ben Tre with a guide such as Tim, Thanh, Tommy, or Tam.

“Me & my wife greatly enjoyed the different activities that we did, ESPECIALLY our amazing tour guide Thanh! Too bad our bus had outdated utilities & the air conditioning barely worked. It was a hot day too, 30-32 degree celsius (90-95 degrees farenheight). I’d still recommend doing this! It was both affordable & fun!!”

We got to experience the Chocolate Hills, a butterfly sanctuary and mini zoo (where you can see / hold various animals), a famous Church, a Tarsier sanctuary and an amazing buffet lunch on a river boat. There were lots of items on the itinerary so it felt worth our money. Hilight was definitely the boat linch- so delicious! The initial car journey was 1h30, and then there are additional journeys between each location, so make sure you have something to entertain yourself in the car. I would definitely recommend this activity, as it was a great day out!”
