4.00Boat was good and English speaking guide was good, but looking at the river was not anything that special. I know Vietnam is trying to develop its tourism, so not being critical of that. Service was great
Nice cruise

5.00Great fun. The guide was really informative & it was a great way to see the city. Drinks on board were well priced - no cash accepted though. TBH I could have stayed on linger.
Great crew and beautiful views

5.00We had a lovely boat trip with the Saigon Boat Company. Very well organised and the staff were all lovely. The guide provided us with a very informative tour of the river. He was enthusiastic and gave us a good amount of information. We took the 6pm sailing at you get to see the city come alive as the sun sets. It’s a beautiful view and you get great pictures of the skyline. The boat has a bar and has toilet facilities if needed. Drinks reasonably priced. We felt extremely safe onboard the small boat. Other boat tours mostly included meals and were way larger than what we wanted. This tour met our requirements exactly. It was very well priced and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a quick tour up and down the river.
