The Mekong Delta is also a nice family friendly destination. Most tours in the delta are hands-on and engaging for young kids because they entail canoe trips down the backwaters, visits to rice paper factories, and visits to fruit candy manufacturing shops. Large tour companies with multiple groups of people on the same tour can get very ho-hum for kids. The itinerary is more rigid and not all activities may appeal to your children. Instead, we recommend private tours through Water Buffalo Tours. Or, you can even go to Mekong Delta and Cu Chi Tunnels through Saigon River Express, where you travel by speed boat, which can be a fun experience for your kids.
