Was good value for money as fairly inexpensive. Very knowledgeable local as our guide and offered to take pics for us etc. Learnt a lot about the various sites and a good overview of Ho Chi Minh. Worthwhile.
Enjoyed seeing a lot of the development, and a much different view of the city than from the street.
The boats is small and cosy. It’s nice and not too many people. The host Vivian is very nice and patient with our small children. She explains everything in quite goof English and very enthusiastically. Thank you for this nice experience.
