Great guide and nice boat

Truc the guide honestly made this experience even better. Her kindness and constant attention and help made us feel welcomed here in Vietnam, We are spending part of our honeymoon in Vietnam and it’s people like Truc that makes us want to return. Regarding the boat, it was fun, we loved the music and the food. The only thing we didn’t like was that we had to buy our own water (we don’t drink anything else), so if anyone doesn’t plan on drinking anything else its best to bring your own water. Nevertheless, thats something for the owners to maybe consider, not the fault of Truc the guide. I totally recommend this trip to anyone traveling with a family or a partner. And hopefully you’ll get Miss Truc as your guide.

Knowledgeable guide and amazing city lights top deck boat views

We competed the dinner cruise with Joey tonight. Joey was very knowledgeable throughout the tour and did a great job with checking in on us throughout. The dinner buffet was delicious and accompanied by cultural performances. We finished off the night by going up to the boat’s top deck where you’ll be amazing by the gorgeous Saigon River and beautifully lit buildings. We received hotel pick up and drop off which topped off the convenience of the tour.

Pleasant experience but lots of people to navigate around at the food buffet tables The cruise scenery at night was pretty but we felt bored towards the end

We also appreciate your note about the entertainment and pacing of the evening, as it helps us improve the experience for future travelers. Thank you again for your honest review.
