5.00We really enjoyed our one-hour river cruise with Saigon Boat Company. The experience was relaxing, scenic, and felt like it went by far too quickly. Vivian was fantastic throughout the cruise. She kept us informed about the history and surroundings in such an engaging and informative way, which made the experience really enjoyable. Overall, a lovely experience and definitely something we would recommend while visiting Saigon.

5.00We booked ourselves on the 6:00pm cruise because we wanted to see the beautiful city skyline illuminate as the sun set. And the city did not disappoint. Long, the tour guide spoke well about the history of Ho Chi Minh City. Guests could purchase drinks or nibbles on the boat. Seeing Landmark 81 all lit up was one of many highlights of this one hour cruise on Saigon River.
Do it!

5.00This was one of the most laid back (yet coolest) things we did in ho chi minh. Boat was kinda loud but aside from that it was comfy, very reasonably priced, and a super cool way to see the city from a different perspective.
Good experience.
