5.00I highly recommend the Siago River Tour! Our guide, Vivian, was excellent! She spoke very good English, and she had a wonderful sense of hunor. We learned a LOT about yhe history of Vietnam for her. The pick up spot had a nice restroom facility and waiting area. The other staff members were very friendly also. The tour was just the right length - 1 hours. Again - I highly recommend this tour!

4.00The boat was good and the staff friendly. There was a history given about the French, Americans etc but not much information about the various buildings we passed. Relaxing

5.00We loved the smaller traditional wooden boat it was very comfortable, and has a roof that rolls shut if it does rain. Our host was excellent, his English and knowledge of all the sights along the way was great. They're happy to take photos of you with the stunning skyline lit up at night . Plenty of drinks to select from to purchase on board. Jayson our WhatsApp guy was great too.
Great!
