5.00Very pleasant hour spent cruising on the Saigon River to see the skyline at night. Small boat. Bar available. Would recommend.
Uninspiring and somewhat pointless. Obviously very hot and just not very interesting.

5.00We spent a lovely evening on this 1hr cruise along the river. It was a smaller boat with about 20 people so it was great and not too busy. The commentary was great and it just was a great night. We went at 7:30pm and had no issues getting a grab there and back to our hotel.
Nice and quick boat ride

4.00Our tour was 4.30pm so a need break from the hustle and bustle of the city. The tour guide was really interesting and definitely made the trip. We weren't offered any drinks to purchase but could have been the timing of tour. I wish actually the trip was bit longer. The boat was intimate and comfortable. Thanks for the great tour- highly recommend.
Great short boat trip!

5.00Great short boat trip with lovely host who gave lots of useful info. Just right to get a flavour of the river and see all the tall buildings from the river perspective.
Lovely well organized boat trip.
