3.00The cruise itself is fabulous and the food is terrific. However, I would book direct as they said they would pick us up at the hotel and then reneged on that promise
Fun Saigon River dinner cruise!

5.00Just wrapped up a Saigon River cruise in Ho Chi Minh City and it was an easy 5/5 ⭐️ The atmosphere was perfect—cruising past the skyline at night with a great live band that took requests and kept the vibe fun the whole time. The music really made the experience feel personal, not just another tourist activity. The food was also a highlight—fresh, flavorful, and way better than expected for a dinner cruise. Big shoutout to our tour guide Joey, who kept everything running smoothly and made the whole night even more enjoyable. If you’re in Saigon and want something relaxing but still lively, this is definitely worth doing
