Sunset on the River

Lovely sunset cruise! We arranged our speedboat sunset cruise through our hotel. It included a seamless pickup and dropoff, flexibility with times and our own boat! It’s a great way to see the city as sunset falls and our tour guide, Aria, was knowledgeable and friendly. The main benefit of cruising the river is learning the history and seeing all the change Vietnam has undergone in such a short period. We concluded with a classy cocktail on the river and when it started to rain, ponchos were provided. Truly top notch service and we felt like VIP.

Romantic escape in Saigon

When we made plan to visit Vietnam, I said we should not stay longer in Saigon, while it is too hot. Finally, we spent a weekend , which exceeds all expectation. First, on the way from airport to hotel, I noticed the city is very, very clean. No dirties on the roads! All the cars look clean and new. Secondly, price of gasoliine is about 1 usd/liter! That’s why you can travel with in the city by Grab( their Uber), with 2-4 usd almost everywhere! We stayed by Majestic, a hotel from french colonial times. The lobby strongly reminds about the era and I strongly recommend to have a lunch or afternoon tea there. It was friday and we took advantage by an offer: Romantic dinner for couples, with live violin . Place: Sorae restaurant, by the 51st floor of the Bitexbo financial tower. They waited for us and offered a table with panoramic view over the city, the river with cruise ships like on the Sena river in Paris, beautiful bridges and vibrant lightning. Overwhelming! The ambience in the restaurant is midern and menu absolutely great,japanese-vietnamede fusion. For saturday evening, we booked a table by The Social Club Rooftop , 24th floor of the hotel des Arts, McGallery collection. Vibrant ambience, many young people, music, oysters missing that day( as a minus), champagne and astonishing view of the city. After one hour, we left the young people enjoy the night and moved to the 23rd floor, The Albion , a Michelin recommended restaurant where we have had a real gourmet experience ! What we have lost - an interesting evening by the Opera house in Saigon, with an attractive programme for that saturday. Next time, for sure. Also, I missed a cruise on the Saigon river, as far as we had to leave for Danang on sunday. But that’s another story!

Sunset cruise

We had a lovely cruise along the river with many highlights. Moon was a wonderful tour guide and very informative. We had a 2 hour private cruise and the views along the river were spectacular. Along the way you stop for cocktail/cocktails.

Dos Equis Team Drives the Boat

Xavier and Xavia were an amazing team that provided a safe and splendid service. As a tour guide, Xavia was knowledgeable of the city’s history and culture, which made the ride engaging and fun. Her recommendation of cocktail was spot on. Xavier’s skill as a boatman got us to see the sunset just in time, and we had a glorious view of the night life on our return. Would recommend this for all couples visiting Saigon!

The best boat tour

This boat tour it’s absolutely wonderful and worth the money. We had the entire boat to ourselves and Tham was an amazing tour guide, telling us so much about the city and showing us places we would have never seen otherwise. The cocktail in the sunset was the cherry on top. Highly recommend!
