Tours & Activities in Ho Chi Minh City
This experience suits travelers who appreciate traditional performing arts and are interested in local customs presented in an accessible format. It is ideal for those seeking an evening activity that differs from typical urban nightlife, including families with older children, cultural enthusiasts, and visitors wanting to combine live entertainment with other Ho Chi Minh City experiences like river dining or scenic city rides. The show’s gentle pace and seating arrangement make it suitable for a wide range of guests.
This Mekong Delta Premium Tour with Speedboat & Lunch begins in Ho Chi Minh City, departing early in the morning to avoid the afternoon heat and maximize time on the water. The journey follows the winding Mekong River, traveling southward into the heart of the delta region. Guests board a comfortable speedboat that swiftly navigates the river's channels, offering close-up views of the lush landscape and traditional river life. Along the route, the boat stops at several villages and small islands where visitors can step ashore to visit local homes, tropical fruit gardens, and artisanal workshops. The day includes a midday meal featuring regional specialties served at a riverside restaurant, providing a chance to taste fresh, locally sourced ingredients while enjoying views of the water. Key stops include a bee farm where the hum of busy bees fills the air and the scent of wildflowers lingers, allowing visitors to observe honey production methods that have been practiced for generations. At a fish farm, the sight and sound of carp and catfish swimming beneath wooden docks highlight the importance of aquaculture in the delta’s economy. The tour also visits a tropical garden abundant with jackfruit, durian, and rambutan trees, where the sweet and sometimes pungent aromas mingle. Visitors walk through shaded pathways lined with fruit trees and seasonal flowers, experiencing the delta’s natural bounty firsthand. Traditional basket weaving demonstrations and local markets showcase the daily crafts and trade that sustain these communities. Tour groups are kept small, generally capped at around 12 participants, to maintain an intimate atmosphere and allow the guide to engage with each guest. The guide provides detailed explanations in clear English, sharing insights into the daily life, farming techniques, and environmental challenges of the Mekong Delta. Transport is handled via a modern air-conditioned coach from Ho Chi Minh City to the boat dock, followed by the speedboat ride along the river. The itinerary balances time on the water with short walks in shaded, flat terrain, making the pace manageable but active. This tour is well-suited for travelers interested in rural life and ecological systems, as well as those who appreciate fresh local food and gentle outdoor activity. It offers a break from the urban environment of Ho Chi Minh City, inviting participants to observe and absorb the rhythms of one of Southeast Asia's most important river ecosystems. Individuals who enjoy photography or have an interest in agriculture and traditional crafts will find the stops particularly engaging.
This tour gives you a quick overview of the Mekong Delta; then exit with your boat cruise upstream on the Mekong River to Cambodia.

Authentic Stories from Diners
This is the perfect place if you’re looking for Asian western fusion cuisine. The best of the place is the incredibly attentive staff, that makes you feel at home. The ambience is chill and the music is great in the same vibe. My favourite drink is the salted caramel late.
A very cozy and stylish restaurant with a pleasant atmosphere that makes you want to come back again and again. Everything here is beautiful — from the interior to the presentation of the dishes. I ordered several items and everything was absolutely delicious, fresh, and perfectly balanced in flavor. Special thanks to the attentive and friendly staff — the service is excellent. A great place both for breakfast and for a relaxed meeting or working on a laptop. Highly recommended!
This cafe is quite amazing. I believe the quality of food and service justifies the price point here. Without a doubt, an excellent place to eat, bring a date, study, or work. The Eggs Benedict tasted amazing 😍 The coffee was slightly above average, but still pretty decent. Maybe other drinks could be better here. I'll try something else next time and update this review. The server checked regularly and picked up the finished plates frequently. I didn't notice what the negative reviewers wrote about bad service. I was here from 8:20am to 11:30am on a Thursday, January 8, 2026. Seating indoor on the ground level. Seating indoor and outdoor on the second floor. The interior is well decorated and appears to be getting ready for lunar New Years (Tết) which is coming soon. Update: I also found out that not all the staff here speak Vietnamese since there are exchange students working at this place. Do not take this for rudeness. Simply ask for a waiter that speaks the required language. English is common here.
Warning: Don’t be misled by the glowing reviews — this place looks nice online but doesn’t live up to the hype in reality. I decided to try it since many of my friends have been here, but the experience was disappointing from start to finish. Most of those 5-star reviews seem exaggerated or manipulated. Service: I came on a busy Sunday, and the manager at the door told me indoor seating was full, so only outdoor tables were available. Before I could even respond, they walked away to seat another guest who arrived after me and never came back. I eventually had to find another staff to ask for a table, and even then, he just pointed upstairs without showing me to my seat until I insisted. When my food arrived, there were no utensils, and I had to ask for them myself. The service felt unorganized and inattentive — far from the standard you’d expect at this price point. Food: I ordered the Spicy Squid Pasta and Hong Kong Egg Waffle. The pasta portion was small and under-seasoned. The waffle was chewy and didn’t taste fresh, with very little cream and only a few slices of strawberry. Atmosphere: The space is small, and the kitchen noise carries throughout the dining area. From the second floor, I could clearly hear dishes and silverware clattering the whole time. Conclusion: I’ve been to many brunch places in Vietnam, but this was unfortunately the worst experience I’ve had. Definitely not worth the price or the hype.
Good atmosphere, Good service. However, food could be improved more. *Food Rating: + Mushroom Salad: 8/10 - most satisfied dish out of 3 I ordered. + English breakfast: 7,5/10 - the toast are dried and some hashbrown are overfried (cháy đen và cứng một số miếng); + Angus Beef: 6/10 - I ordered Medium but first came out Medium well. Staff supports to re-do it, but second time was between rare and medium rare. *Drinks rating: + Matcha cold drip: 8/10 - tasty, the matcha and coffee are well-blended. + Orange cold brew: 6,5 - the taste of orange same as drinking Tang (orange powder).

This small Tan Binh spot serves rich Tonkotsu ramen with a slightly different noodle texture than usual. Alongside ramen, try their customizable beef bowls, gyoza, or panna cotta for dessert. Expect a lively atmosphere with loud music and close table settings.
