Great Experience for first night in HCMC

Great overview of the city! We did this on our first night in HCMC and was great to check out the surroundings, see what we wanted to explore more of! And briefly tick off some popular tourist attractions!

You were good, I’m waiting for you to be great.

I won’t remember this bus tour as a highlight of my trip, nor did I learn anything new from it. However, if you want a low energy, quiet, breezy journey around the city at night this is a good option. It is a nice way to see a lot of HCM without doing too much, and it is especially beautiful at night.

Ok. See if you can find a better one

It was a nice evening but would have been nice to have some commentary. Seeing the city in lights was great. Luckily I had done the tour during the day so I could recognise what was what. There was a bus attendant on the trip but looks like he was just there for the bribes to save the best seats.

No guide

It was supposed to be a guided tour. They had no guide. It was just a bus ride around the city. We took some goof pics but we didn’t know what we were taking pictures of.

Good views, not much else

Tour was nice and scenic however you just drive around with no commentary / explanation of what you are seeing. We did not receive “complimentary water” as stated. Nice to see the city lights around HCMC but not a must do activity.

Operator response
