4.00The boat was good and the staff friendly. There was a history given about the French, Americans etc but not much information about the various buildings we passed. Relaxing
Fun interesting boat ride

5.00We loved the smaller traditional wooden boat it was very comfortable, and has a roof that rolls shut if it does rain. Our host was excellent, his English and knowledge of all the sights along the way was great. They're happy to take photos of you with the stunning skyline lit up at night . Plenty of drinks to select from to purchase on board. Jayson our WhatsApp guy was great too.
Great!

5.00We booked the 9pm cruise as it was very hot during our time in Ho Chi Minh and we thought the lights of city would be nice. It was a lovely cruise with our tour guide having a great knowledge of city and history. We chose this tour as it has a maximum of 20 people . We would do this again
Well worth while, terrific personal small group experience
