5.00This was a lovely, relaxing way to spend part of my first evening in Ho Chi Minh City/Saigon. Our guide/host Jayson was very friendly, great with getting us organized before we got on the boat, and entertained us with some facts and some basic Vietnamese phrases. (Also thanks to our driver!) The skyline is so pretty and vibrant at night -especially during Tet! I thought an hour was a perfect amount of time for this tour. If you're looking to take a break from walking and want to see the city from a different perspective, keep this tour in mind as an option.

5.00We were still in the TET holiday period and were lucky to book a trip on the boat. Will was our guide on the trip with a good knowledge of the land marks. We were able to purchase drinks on the boat which in the heat was most welcome. I would recommend this trip

5.00Guide was great. Good information about the area and skyline in the first half of the ride and then the last part of the ride is super chill enjoying vibe and scenery. Boat left right on time and was back in exactly one hour. Price was reasonable. No empty seats but not over crowded. Comfortable space. Def recommend the night time experience. So pretty with the buildings and bridges all lit up colorfully.
Definitely do it!!

5.00Host Will was great with all his explanations on what we were seeing plus providing understanding about Vietnamese life! Boat was quaint and cute. Breeze was excellent. Snack options were limited. Bathroom available. Time was just right.
A very interesting hour with guide Vivian

5.00The one-hour river trip with guide Vivian was very interesting, lots of information about the city and the sights, there was an answer to every question, we actually learned a lot about the city building which is not in the usual information. Seeing the city from the water is worth it!
Relaxing and pleasant
