Favorite Thing: We went to Pham Ngu Lao St on Sat to look for a travel agency to book a day tour on Mon to Mekong River. The agency we chose was Phuong Trang Tourist (PTRATOUR). It has 2 branches, one in the side road, and the other one facing the main road across a park (where we booked). The buses are parked at the main office (the side road office).
The staff are friendly and speaks good English. The Mekong tour we booked had 15 ppl (Heard it's the average no of ppl going for the daily tour). The mini bus was clean and new, the trip consists of visiting the islands and their farms and includes boat and lunch etc. It was a good trip for USD 7. The only money we had to fork out in addition was the tip for the longboat ride we had (Paid about 5,000D per person) at one of the islands. No tips to the tour guide who came with the tour. By the way, althoguh the price is in USD, they prefer you to pay in Dong, unless it's a huge amount. We paid in dong for our Mekong tour
Would certainly go back to this agency should I visit HCM again. Their Cu Chi - Cao Dai one day tour retails for USD5.
