It was great experience and view, very friendly staff (Quang). However, the pickup process just very inconvenient, I needed to look around to find the tour guide.

A different perspective of Saigon. Our tour guide, Trang, provided great information on current and past history of life around the river, and the river's importance to the city. She answered all our questions about specific buildings and how the city has spread out around it.
Recommend taking in the city landscape from Bitexco Financial Tower beforehand as this gives you an idea of what lies beyond the riverbank.

Really nice way to see Ho Chi Minh, I choose the boat leaving at 18.00 so you get to see the skyline during the day and night 😊

Enjoyable and seamless experience. Our guide, "Long," was cheerful, entertaining and helpful. Only 3 pairs (6 people) on the ride, but. more would have been fine. We had already been exploring on land, but did gain some fresh insights from our guide. A pleasant hour on the water.
