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.

5.00Food was good with a lot of variety. But it was more the experience to see the city at night on the water. Entertainment with the Philippino singers and dancers was a nice addition. Pickup was good and the guide we had was great to make it an enjoyable experience.
Fun experience, could book directly though

5.00Joey had really good tips including having us go an hour early so we had earlier access to the buffet before other folks got on. She also picked us up from the hotel with great communication. The food was great as well, we had the Vietnamese buffet. The boat had so many beautiful spots for photos. It was awesome. The boat has AC and is a great temp. Once we start moving they open the windows so you can look out, which makes it warmer so there is no need to bring a jacket. Fun entertainment on the boat including dance performances and live music. Here are the parts that were kind of ehhh that you may want to know. The boat is too tall to go under the bridge so we end up just going back and forth on a small subsection of the river. Secondly the "tour" part was mostly just a driver picking us up and dropping is off at the port, which money-savvy folks can do themselves with grab. All in all I don't regret doing this tour and our tour guide was incredible! She was funny, likeable, and had great English.
Great views food and entertainment against
