Awesome Bus Tour and Cruise. Highly Recommend.
We have just done the bus and dinner cruise
The bus tour was great we saw a lot of sights around Saigon.
We finished the bus tour and found our driver to take us to the dinner cruise he was in the same place as the drop off for the bus tour.
On the cruise the food could not be faulted, was excellent, the entertainment and the cruise was great.
The service from this company was very helpful.

Ho Chi Minh City sightseeing tour and Dinner On cruise
City tour took an hour,But we were not given enough information regarding the Dinner cruise pick up .So we end up following anoher sight seeing tour bus as they advised us this one is for the dinner cruise and you will get drop off at the pier.
After we got there we got a phone call from our tour operator,They came and met us at the pier.
The Dinner cruise itself was a fantastic memorable experience with 3 course meal served
We really enjoyed it.and will recommed to others.

Joys of Seeing and Learning about Ho Chi Minh City
This was a great trip- our guide, Lam,spoke English very well and did a marvelous job. We learned so much about Saigon and the river cruise was one of the delights of our trip to Ho Chi Minh City. Lam also showed us different activities that the local people did such as athletic clubs, social dancing classes, water puppet theater and local neighborhood as we waited for the other guests on our trip.
