Great tour made amazing with the best tour guides - This whole experience was amazing the two tour guides we had (Kieran and Levi) were so lovely, they took care of us for the whole tour and the night motorbike ride tour of the city was just incredible. If you are coming to Ho Chi Min do this tour you won’t regret it especially if you get to do it with Kieran and Levi❤️❤️❤️

Great tour with Kieran! - We had Kieran as a guide and he was excellent. This was a last minute booking so we were on a little different boat for dinner than they usually take, but I am glad it worked out that way. We started out with the water puppet show, which was surprisingly fun. Then we made our way to the dinner cruise, Tau Ben Nghe. It had all Vietnamese foods, they had live seafood onboard and took the fish we order fresh from the tank to cook it. We also had a seafood hotpot that was excellent. Loved the more local cruise as well as their traditional water puppet show to start the night.

Great final evening in HCMC. - We had a great final evening in HCMC doing this tour. The puppet show was exceptional - charming and totally unlike anything I have seen before. And it was fun chugging along on the river, having supper and seeing the city lights. Be prepared for noise and chaos! When we went the ship was packed and karaoke was blasting out at full volume. Food was chosen from a menu with photos which helped - and it was fine. The city lights are beautiful. Its hard to see how we could have done this tour without our guide Kieran. He was exceptionally helpful and friendly, managed all the different taxis needed and took us to our seats/ table etc. He looked after us so well and answered all our many questions about life in Vietnam. Thank you and well done Kieron.

Nice evening in HCMC - We had a good time on the dinner cruise. We got a ship that was quite lively with locals singing karaoke throughout dinner. Our guide Oliver was friendly and knowledgeable. He was also able to speak English very well and could communicate with enceinte in the group.

Highly fabulous highly recommending this tour, water, puppet show, and dinner cruise on the river - We felt the price was very reasonable, we were pampered from the beginning when our guides had picked us up. The fun part was riding on the motorbikes through the city to the puppet show, which was amazing a traditional water puppet show. Then we were taken by motorbike to our boat, where we did our beautiful dinner and river cruise, and the food was fabulous, I would highly recommend this to her. It was so much fun, and our guides were just fabulous and made it extra special. There was no worry and no stress very accommodating.
