How to read prices on listings: a Group tour card shows both tour types, each labelled — “From $… per person (Group)” and “From $… per person (Private)” — because every Group tour also offers a Private option. A Private-only tour or package shows only the Private price, labelled “Private only” — it has no Group option. “From” is always the lowest per-person price for that type — the price at the largest group size. The full, accurate price for your group size is in the Price section on the tour page itself. Where a price is still being verified, the card says so for that type instead of showing a number.

Vietnam Multi-Day Packages — Tours Across Vietnam
Going beyond the Delta? Innoviet also runs multi-day packages across the whole of Vietnam — north to south in 7, 11 or 15 days, and a 28-day slow journey on into Cambodia. Every package is a private tour — local guides, real local life, just longer, and covering the whole country.
Loading packages…
How package prices are shown: packages are Private only — there is no Group option for any package. Each card gives the Private from-price as listed on innoviet.com, marked “Price to be confirmed” until Innoviet verifies the Private price table for that package (§6d rule: never invent a price). No Group price is shown for a package, and your written quote states the exact Private total for your dates and group size before you pay anything.

Responsible Travel — At the heart of Innoviet
Travel that leaves the Mekong better — and its people better off
Our purpose is to provide customised and truly local excursions, while providing opportunity and economic benefits to local communities — and supporting and promoting sustainable tourism in Vietnam.
This is not a slogan added at the end of a tour. It shapes the route itself: who cooks your lunch, whose boat you ride in, where your money stays, and what we deliberately leave out — no tourist-trap shopping stops, no staged villages, no oversized groups.
Locally produced food
Meals are cooked by the families who host you, from locally produced food bought at local markets — so lunch supports growers, market sellers and home cooks, not an outside supply chain.
Minimising plastic waste
We work to minimise plastic waste on tour — and invite guests to help by bringing a reusable bottle and refusing single-use plastic where there is a better local alternative.

Why Innoviet
What we can actually promise
Small groups, never rushed
We keep groups small so you can linger at a market, ask questions and actually meet the families who host lunch — a point our guests repeat in review after review.
Off the usual route
Ben Duoc instead of the busiest tunnel site, village canals instead of staged stops, and no “shopping” detours built into the day.
Local benefit, by design
Locally produced food, eco-friendlier transport where possible, less plastic, and homestays that pay the households you stay with.
Operating since 2005, as stated on innoviet.com. Awards, certifications and traveller counts shown on the old site are being re-verified before they appear here.
Local guides
Guides who grew up on these rivers
In reviews published on innoviet.com, guests repeatedly praise their guides' local knowledge, honest history and food recommendations. Guide names, languages and profiles for this redesign are to be confirmed by Innoviet.

How booking works
Three steps, no surprises
1 · Send a request — no payment now
Pick a tour, date and group size. This is a request, not a confirmed booking, and no payment is taken at this step — never by card details in chat or email.
2 · Held for 24 hours, then confirmed
Your request is held for 24 hours while our team confirms availability. We then reply in writing with your confirmed total, pickup point and terms — only that written confirmation makes it a confirmed booking.
3 · 10% deposit now, 90% on the day
After confirmation, we send you a payment link for a 10% deposit only. The remaining 90% is paid to your tour guide on the day of the tour, in person.
Questions
Before you book
Where do Mekong Delta tours depart from?
From Ho Chi Minh City, with pickup in central districts. Exact pickup points, times and any surcharge for addresses outside the centre are confirmed in writing with your booking — they are listed as “to confirm” in this design until Innoviet verifies them.
How do booking and payment work — request, hold, deposit?
No payment now — your request is held for 24 hours while our team confirms availability. After confirmation, we will send you a payment link for a 10% deposit. The remaining 90% is paid to your tour guide on the day of the tour. A booking is only confirmed once our team has confirmed it in writing — sending a request never charges you, and we never ask for card details in chat or email.
Is a day trip enough for the Mekong Delta?
For Ben Tre or My Tho, yes — you'll get canals, villages and a home-cooked lunch. Choose 2 days if the Cai Rang floating market at sunrise or a homestay matters to you.
Saigon or Ho Chi Minh City — are the tours different?
No. Saigon is the city's former and still widely used name. Our city tours are listed once, under Ho Chi Minh City, and cover both the historic “Saigon” centre and districts like Cho Lon.
