⭐ 5/5 – Magical Night on the Saigon River!

5.00We did a 3-hour night cruise on the Saigon River with light dinner and drinks, and it turned out to be one of the best experiences of our trip. The views of Saigon at night were absolutely spectacular — the skyline, the colorful light shows, the bridges, everything looked stunning from the water. Great music, great vibes, and a really relaxed atmosphere to enjoy with friends. Special thanks to our amazing guide Luc. He picked us up right from the hotel, took care of everything at the pier, arranged the best seats on the boat, and even drove us back afterwards. Super friendly, professional, and made the whole experience smooth and fun. Highly recommend this cruise for anyone who wants a memorable night in Saigon.

5.00From start to finish we had a perfect night. Luc picked us up from our hotel exactly on time and we had an enjoyable and informative drive to the pier in his comfortable vehicle. Boarding was fast and simple and we were very quickly sitting at our table being waited on by the friendly staff. Luc was there to make sure we were comfortable and once we were settled he went his own way till it was time to head home. The Benthanh Princess is a luxurious boat and the menu was amazing. The entree was a prawn salad followed by a main of Lemongrass Chilli Chicken, both amazing. The music and the views along the river were fantastic. When the night was over Luc was there to drive us back to our hotel. A great experience that we are so pleased we did.

5.00Best Dinner Cruise ever! An amazing experience since the very beginning! Our host Luc just exceeded our expectations, 5 stars service! Everytime in touch with us in order to provide the best service we could get! The staff aboard was also incredible! Although I forgot to report my dietary requirement (definitely my fault), they were there everytime to check if everything was going smoothly! And the best part, the musicians! First during the dinner, later on the show at the deck, we just got speechless!! I definitely recommend this activity to enjoy Saigon river, can't wait to be back!! Shoutout again for Luc, thanks for everything!
