Amazing highlight to the end of 4 days in Ho Chi Minh City

5.00This was an amazing experience which I would highly recommend. Our tour guide Joey kept in touch via WhatsApp so we were well informed of pick up time in an air conditioned vehicle. She told us everything we needed to know about the cruise and was like our personal photographer. The food, entertainment and amazing skyline from the boat was just perfect. The boat itself is very opulent and the service was excellent. We are so glad we did this cruise . Joey was the perfect guide.
An excellent cruise with excellent customer service

5.00We had an outstanding experience. Of course, the cruise was great but what is of worthy mention is the customer service of their representative, Carmelia! We had a health situation and she responded to the situation beyond our expectations
Amazing cruise with brilliant views!

5.00This was an amazing tour! I am so glad we booked this and highly recommend anyone looking to enjoy a nice cruise through the Saigon river taking in all the lights and the skyline. Our guide was My (Camellia) who was great, she not only took us to the cruise arriving promptly at the hotel, but made sure we were in the right place. She also spent lot of time with me and my wife as well as the rest of the group giving us information regarding the history of Ho Chi Minh, the different districts making up the city. She also gave me and my wife some tips on where to visit. The food in the buffet you get on the cruise was great with a wide variety of food. Make sure you book the 3rd floor it’s amazing! We even had our private balcony!
Amazing dinner cruise!!

5.00Such a wonderful experience to have in Ho Chi Minh City, especially after a long day of walking and exploring there is nothing better to relax and have a great dinner and a great view. Everything was very well organized and our guide Joey was caring and attentive. We chose both Vietnamese menus and they were both amazing.
