5.00We used this tour company a number of times in Vietnam and each time they did not disappoint. All you could want in a tour company - they excel in smaller group tours with great communication and prompt timing.
I will recommend this to my family and friends.

3.00Drive on Saigon River against the backdrop of Ho Chi Minh City. Very great view and atmosphere. Nice boat, the musical performances are a matter of taste. The buffet is great, the menu is not! The journey takes only 90 min., the rest is waiting and eating. After that, Disko is on the top deck with deafening noise. No air conditioning, therefore nice and warm downstairs.
Great Experience!

4.00Very nice dinner cruise along the Saigon river. Booked this on our last night of a 2 week trip through Vietnam to finish off a 50th b-day celebration. During the Tet holiday, travel can be adventurous so our pick up from the hotel to the pier was a bit daunting. However, once finally on-board, all was forgotten and the meal and entertainment was fantastic. Staff was very good at recognizing our b-day celebration with some nice added features of a light up sign a birthday acknowledgment by staff. Overall, a wonderful evening seeing the lights of the city while cruising down the river and live music. Tip - splurge and go for the private table, multiple course meal on the top deck rather than the lower deck buffet with shared tables.
