5.00Daniel was an excellent tour guide. He was knowledgeable about the history of the city as well as provided interesting data points and sightseeing attractions. He was kind and respectful. My wife and I felt very comfortable being with him. I would recommend him as a tour guide for your next excursion.

5.00Our guide Joey (female) was an awesome communicator before the trip and helpful afterwards as well. During the cruise she checked in with us often and gave us tips on how best manage our time on board. The cruise was nice but soggy and shortened due to rain. Not much to see other than the lighted buildings which we also saw from our hotel. The buffet options were plentiful and varied, we were happy to try many local dishes. TIP- drink beer not wine better quality and price. The watermelon juice was also tasty.
Amazing moment

5.00This was an amazing experience. It was fun, lively with great food and music. Our tour guide Daniel was polite, pleasant, and punctual. He was very knowledgeable about the city and quite accommodating. I would highly recommend this tour or any with Daniel. 5 stars. The dinner cruise was Benthanh Princess Cruise. It was such a great atmosphere with live music. Dinner was delicious, 5 course and served. You have different options to pick from, all scrumptious. What a great night.

5.00We had dinner at the roof of the cruise . So beautiful and romantic . The food tastes perfectly cooked from the mains up to the dessert . Beautiful sightseeing , colourful lights until it rained heavily that we have to move down to the next level and from one table to another . But it has a reason why because we will be closer to the filo band who played very well . Everyone enjoyed the music. Joey , our tour guide made this happen, thanks for looking after us from the start to finished . This activity shouldn’t be missed by couples who wanted to relax and enjoy the night in Saigon.
Excellent Service from Start to Finish

5.00Our family booked a buffet cruise, and after confirming the reservation, the company immediately had a staff member contact us to complete the necessary procedures. When we arrived at the port, we were warmly assisted by Ms. Chau, who was very attentive and helpful. She answered all of my questions quickly and clearly. We were extremely satisfied with the service before, during, and after the trip. We will definitely come back again when we have the chance.
