5.00The experience was absolutely amazing,the staff,the atmosphere,the people made this night one to remember however I won’t deny a big let down was the food. The food was lacking seasoning and correct flavouring yet it was the most enjoyable night I’ve ever had!

5.00Katie, our local host for Asiana link was super helpful and was quick to respond to any questions we had. Our tour guide Bao was right on time helping us with the cruise experience. It was definitely a one of a kind cruise experience. Food was delicious. The music was great. One of the best activities for kids and the wife on this Vietnam trip.

2.00Whilst the tour guide was so lovely, the actual cruise was awful, we couldn’t wait to get off. The hot food was cold, there were people using their fingers to pick up food even though there were utensils to pick the food up, the deserts were stale. We would have preferred to spend the money at a restaurant than do this cruise. It’s a shame as the tour guide was so sweet and lovely.
Really impressed with the boat and views.

5.00This was actually amazing! I’ve done many of these worldwide, and this was one of the better experiences. The buffet food was quite good, the views were spectacular, and the on board entertainment was hit and miss. One band was excellent, one singer was terrible and the dancers were average. I like that there were 3 separate acts though. I do recommend this tour overall, great way to see the city and a beautiful boat.
A memorable dinner cruise in Saigon.

5.00Wonderful way to see Ho Chi Minh from a cruise down the Saigpn River through the major business center of Saigon to the famous Saigon 81, the tallest building in Vietnam. Joey, our host was very gracious & courteous and facilitated the entire event hassle free making it very special. The food was good and the entertainment was excellent! A great and memorable evening in Saigon!
