5.00Great 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.

5.00We 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.

4.00Boat 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

5.00Great 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.
