Good cruise, great guide
My wife and I booked the dinner cruise on the river and had a fantastic time. Shout out to our guide Karl for the extra tidbits of history about the city, it's peoples, and also handling our transportation.

NIGHT TO REMEMBER
even if the weather was not so good, me and my friends enjoyed the cruise. Karl, the guide was very helpful. the food on the buffet were good, the dancers were super pretty and the highlights of our cruise experience was the band, because the vocalist is a filipina and we jammed.

Love!
We had a really really fun evening! We booked directly with Vietcruise which was only 5 mins from our hotel. We were served there by a really helpful lady called Lily who explained to us all the different options. Then I got a text off Ata on WhatsApp who was our guide for the evening. Needless to say he was amazing. We were the only people on this tour and on the minibus. He was very informative told us lots of information. First took us to our foot massage and waited for us there. The foot massage was very lovely and thorough, even including legs arms and neck/back quickly. He met us from there and took us into our place, the dragon theatre for the water puppets. It was amazing to watch and so interesting, exceeded my expectations. Finally we headed to the cruise and had a nice buffet dinner there and then sat out on the deck. The only complaint I’d have is between the water puppets and cruise it was a bit rushed and by the time we got to the cruise lots of people had been on for an hour before departure and had already eaten. The whole time we were on the deck of the ship, Ata was with us answering all our questions. He was an amazing guide and even now reminded us if we had any questions to just drop him a text. We had a great evening

Experience with tour guide Ata
Had the best time with the tour guide! Ata was the best as he explained everything thoroughly and went above and beyond. He was super nice to the end and the experience wouldn’t be the same without him.

A must-watch!
The show was amazing, and our guide, Bang Bang, was extremely efficient and kind. This is a must for those who want to experience an ancient Vietnamese art that has been around since the 12th century.
