4.00Viator was very good at keeping in touch and with pick up. We had a tour guide instead of a driver to and from the cruise. He was very nice and informative but we did not realise he would be with us for the whole trip. The cruise boat was nice and the staff were friendly. The food courses came out too fast together and even before the cruise started. The band on board was excellent for the short time we saw them.

5.00Just relax…and enjoy…! The staff is very competent and informing. They treat you with respect and kindness. Go up to the top deck after dinner and music and take lots of photos…selfies with your partner. It is a peaceful and relaxing evening.

4.00The ticket for the cruise included a pick up service from your hotel to the pier and return. I was picked up at the time communicated to me earlier and met our guide Manh. Manh was a very knowledgeable, personable and enthusiastic individual. He provided us all with information about what the cruise will entail and local information. I enjoyed discussing Vietnams history with him. The cruise is broken into two parts. The first part is that you eat dinner before the boat departs for the river cruise. There was a wide assortment of Asian cuisine to choose from. My only complaint is that the shell fish and snails were over cooked so were tough and rubbery to eat. Having said that, the crew were friendly and attentive. The second part is the cruise. We departed headed up to the first bridge and turned around and headed down the river past our pier for some distance before turning around and heading back to the pier. Overall, I enjoyed the dinner and the cruise on the river.
Fine dining and exceptional view
