Bit of a wasted hour really. No problem with the company but just not much interest. Wouldn’t bother.

Great little experience on the Saigon river. One of the original and best boat operators, without the loud music and 50+ pax, it is small, comfy and very affordable. Good selection of drinks onboard too for purchase.

We took the 7:30 PM Saigon River cruise, and it turned out to be a very relaxing experience during our time in Ho Chi Minh City. Views of Modern HCM Skyline was fantastic and showed how much the city have grown up. Young guide did a fantastic job explaining the history of Saigon in a simple and engaging way. There were only 10 people in the board with us and it was a very peaceful experience.

Boat 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

Great 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.
