Why Choose a Mekong Delta Tour from Vietnam to Cambodia?

A Seamless, Cultural, and Eco-Friendly River Journey

The Mekong Delta, where the mighty Mekong River fans into a labyrinth of waterways, is the lifeblood of Vietnam and Cambodia. This cross-border Vietnam Tours and Cambodia Tours adventure takes you from the floating markets of Cai Be and Can Tho in Vietnam to the ancient temples and riverside villages of Phnom Penh and beyond in Cambodia. Whether cruising on traditional wooden boats, cycling through lush rice paddies, or witnessing the sunset over the Tonle Sap, this journey blends natural beauty, local culture, and sustainable travel.

Legend Travel Group specializes in crafting Vietnam Travel and Cambodia Travel experiences that connect you deeply with the region. With flexible payment—just 10% deposit up to 30 days before departure—you can plan your trip with complete peace of mind.

Administrative Note

This tour requires valid passports and visas for both Vietnam and Cambodia. Vietnam offers e-visas or visa exemptions for many nationalities; Cambodia provides e-visas or visa on arrival. Border crossings are smooth via speedboat or overland at Bavet–Moc Bai. All logistics, including visas and transport, are handled by Legend Travel Group. Book your Vietnam Tours and Cambodia Tours today.
