The organiser simply did not show up for transporting us to the show - only good thing we were offered a reschedule or have a refund

I had a very terrible experience of booking for dinner cruise in Ho Chi Minh city.Viator charged me $125 SGD for a dinner cruise which costs less than half and there was no option given to cancel.I was also asked by tour guide that I will have to pay for dinner onboard.The experience was miserable and I was given no choice but to continue the cruise dinner. Upon request the tour guide arranged free dinner

A wonderful show with beautiful choreography and dances. The precision of the display in gymnastics is truly amazing. The audience are carried through and encouraged to respond to parts of the show. A must go and see show if you’re in the city. Both young and old will be mesmerised by the performance.

Really enjoyed the whole evening but not convinced worth £80 each. Our courier Kieran was fantastic, he collected us from the hotel and took us to the show and after the show onto the cruise and home again in taxi's. The A O show was really good but only lasted just an hour and we were seated on the top balony level but this might be because we booked last minute. The cruise was full when we arrived and most guests were already eating. It was a lovely wooden cruise boat and had great table seats by a window. They had 2 live musicians and 2 young lady dancers playing vietmanese tunes on unusual instruments which was great. Only downside for us was 70% of offering had fish in it which we don't eat and most of the food on buffet was luke warm which was dissapointing. The rice and beef/ carrott stew was really nice though aswell as cold desserts. Kieran was very friendly and had excellent english and ensured we had a lovely night.

Highly recommend the show. However, the seat was terrible, tucked in a corner, beside a column. I had to crane my neck for the entirety of the show in order to see parts of the action. There were empty seats through the theatre, with three beside me, yet ushers wouldn't let me move. The food on the cruise was fine but appetizers, main and fruit were all delivered at once. My guide, Dwan was fantastic though. Very personable.

Amazing experience, some tricks looked difficult, others looked impossible. Fast pace combined gymnastics, juggling, dancing and music

Had the best time with the best tourguide, Kieran, this evening. He had a lot of interesting information and really easy-going! Everything went smooth. The Ao-show was really really great and made so much sense The boat -tour was really cosy with great food and entertaintment. Will recommend

The show was excellent and our host was great. The dinner cruise was disappointing... unfortunately because we were a last minute, day before, booking we were put on the shark boat. The karaoke 🎤 was a struggle to listen to the entire ride and the food was disappointing... not to mention we had an extra cost in the boat which I wish we skipped. So if you are looking to book this i suggest you verify it it is the buffet boat (the better option) vs the shark boat.. I wish we just did the show unfortunately.
