Great experience with Trang with really informative spiels for the river. She was also super helpful for taking our photos. For an hour-long river cruise, this was great value for only 10 usd per head. They also serve drinks on board if youre feeling a little thirsty. This tour is great for families and anyone who likes a more cozy atmosphere for a tour.

Boat ride was a great experience. Aaron, the guide, provided a lot of information not only about the important sights in Saigon, but about life in Vietnam overall.

The tour guide taught us a lot about Ho chi minh city, such as weather, traffic, and building. We can understood well that the city will grow more and more in the future!

Such a fun moment on the river. Have done the big river cruises before in HCMC but this was a breath of fresh air seeing the same sites from a small boat, had no problems with photos from the full boat plus the crew and tour guide were absolutely lovely. Highly recommend this, especially if you are not a fan of large crowd tourism but are a fan of cold beer on a warm Ho Chi night. A+++ experience!

It was a early evening river tour and the tour guide was very knowledgeable about the history of the surroundings and history of Vietnam. Great way to spend an hour

This is a simple, straightforward, short view from the river of Ho Chi Minh city. Impressive private villas front the river with massive towers behind. Boat comfortable, guide communicated well.

We had a wonderful and informative tour. The local team was friendly, proactive and very helpful. We felt extraordinarily comfortable. When it started raining at the end of the tour, we received from the rain capes. We can highly recommend this rice as you get an extraordinary impression of the city.
