3.00The crew are lovely and Will the tour guide is very informative about Vietnam and the buildings along the river. It’s a small boat but could have done with just a few less people. Was quite tight especially on a very hot and humid day. You get what you pay for. It’s mostly looking at the new developments along the river but for an hour and the money and listening to Will it was ok.
Great experience, very nice guide!

4.00The boat tour was a nice one hour experience on the water. While it was nothing out of the ordinary, it was nice to see Ho Chi Minh from the waterfront and to see all the lights. I found it relaxing. I was a little disappointed that any types of drinks or snacks were extra. I wish they would just offer a price that included those kinds of things.

2.00Just get the $1 water bus as this really isn’t worth the money. I can’t see how this is so well rated. It was so boring and there’s nothing to see here
