Will was a great guide, pointing out all the various bridges, buildings both cultural and commercial and other items of interest, as well as describing local daily life in Vietnam. I would highly recommend this hour-long tour especially to get a n alternative view of the city.

Brilliant way to see the city, we went at 6pm & got both the twilight & the full skyline with the lights. Perfect amount of time, drinks available if you wanted a beer / coke, and a really lovely guide to introduce everything & provide some background. Can't fault it at all, would recommend

Nice and comfortable ride allowing you to see the central area skyline. The guide was friendly, spoke very clear English, and shared some fun facts along the way. There are drinks on offer which can be bought separately.

Good way to see a different side of Saigon. The crew were great, although we were hoping to see a little more of the river.

Nice way to experience Ho Chi Minh City - our guide was really good 👍🏻 I think there were a little too many people with the boat, and it was a little hard to hear the guide for those who were the furthest away.

The trip was everything as described, a 1 hour trip seeing the sites of HCMC from the river. The guide pointed out the details of buildings and history along the route. The boat left promptly, and cruised up and down the river. There were drinks to purchase on the boat. We felt it was good value for money.
