Great evening cruise
We booked the Saigon After Dark tour and had a wonderful time. The hotel pickup was right on time and our guide, Mango, was absolutely incredible. Mango was so knowledgeable, friendly, and went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable and took great photos throughout the night. The Saigon Princess boat was beautiful, the food was delicious, and the live music was great. It was a perfect way to see the city skyline lit up at night. Highly recommend this tour.

Stressful environment.
Messy and messy on the boat under the buffet. Felt a little stressful. Think the hopon and hopoff bus was better.
Operator response

Your comments are valuable to us, and we will share them with our cruise partner to help improve the guest experience. While many guests enjoy the lively dinner cruise atmosphere, we completely respect that different travelers have different preferences.
Thank you again for your honest feedback, and we wish you a wonderful journey ahead.

Recommended for every visitor, you get more what you expect, surely I will come back, when in Ho Chi Minh City. Thx Victor!
The tour is of course for tourists, but the relationship price/ service was excellent, not only because of the great food and the lovely dancers. Our guide invested many hours to find my wallet and I can only say: Super!!

Most of all, we’re very proud of Victor for going the extra mile to help you find your wallet. We believe caring for our guests goes beyond the tour itself, and your kind words will mean a lot to him.
Thank you again for your recommendation. We look forward to welcoming you back the next time you’re in Ho Chi Minh City!

Don’t go there!
Very bad food and service.
Performance of ”wanna-be-singers” and very loud. 99% asian guest and the treatment of white people was not good.

Don't waste your money on this
We were very disappointed with the dinner cruise, both with the arrangements and the food. It was chaotic and disorganised. Very loud music and mediocre entertainers on the boat.
The pre-ordered dinner didn't correspond to the price charged. For the same price you would get a perfect dinner at a very nice restaurant.
Did give feedback to the local organizer. Received apologies, but thats all.

Devin is a FANTASTIC tour guide!!
5/5
What a wonderful guide Devin was! He was extremely kind and courteous and I felt completely safe - at first I was worried about the scooter ride, but he reassured me and was very careful on the roads. Devin had great conversation and was great company, especially where I was travelling by myself.
If I could score him higher I would! He is a real gem and an asset to your company :)
Thanks so much Devin, hope to see you in New Zealand some day :)
