Quick and fun river cruise. - We are not huge fans of tours, so this quick and easy, sunset jaunt up the river was perfect. A really different perspective on Ho Chi Minh city and the tour guides were really great.

Great family friendly tour - Great 1 hour tour in a cosy boat and atmosphere. Trang was an excellent host and guide. Organisation was efficient, communication in perfect English and tour well organised. Departure point super central, you can’t miss it and Trang met us at the entrance. She even ensured suitable life wests are available for the kids.

Very Disappointing - Very disappointing
The confirmation emails did not specifically identify the exact meet up location
The Google maps pin drop was inaccurate and we had to again ring the company for where we should meet
Once on the boat, we had to wait for 15 minutes for the missing participants to arrive
Drinks from the bar were OK .... certainly better than the lead guide who gave up on any intersting commentary after 15 minutes
