Trip with Quan(Charlie) - It’s my first ever cruise ride, it was the most memorable trip in my life the food delicious and Charlie was really supportive and a very good friend. He guided me first to the water puppet show we had a cycle rickshaw ride then the cruise trip with Christmas decorations and songs. Great night.

Very disappointing - We booked through A Travel to have dinner on the La Perle de l’Orient. When we arrived at the port we were taken to the Indochina Queen. The guide informed us that the travel company had booked us on this vessel instead, we were not impressed. Had we been advised that the original choice was not available we would have booked the Bonsai Cruise. The food was disappointing and differed greatly from that on adjoining tables. Entertainment was geared to trying to get all the kids to dance in front of the stage. Luckily the cruise didn’t last very long. I would not recommend dinner on the Indochina Queen.

Just crap food! - I was totally disappointed with the food on this cruise! Staffs need to be retrained about behavior and attitude! Leading people there to show them other side of Saigon at night but it was a big shame myself! Just found satisfaction with instant noodle in convenience store after CRAP meal they serve!

Dinner cruise on March 19/2019 - JUST CRAP. Do NOT take this tour. Hardly got anything to eat . WASTE of MONEY!! #1.I was very disappointed that the tour guide TONY didn’t take any photos of us while we were on the cyclo. #2. Instead of being ahead of us Tony was behind us. The cyclo driver kept smoking & I had made several request for him to stop smoking as it causes breathing difficulty for me. The cyclo- driver didn’t understand English & with Tony being behind me & my husband it was not at all helpful. #3. Our table hardly got anything to eat while others got a variety of food. #4. The food was served to us very very late after almost everyone else got their food and was outside on the deck. 1/ 10. Very poor service!

Don't waste your time or money - Our experience on the Indochina queen dinner cruise would have to be by far our worst outing in Vietnam! The food that should have been chilled was room temperature. Food that should have been hot was barely warm... food poising waiting to hapen. Needless to say we ate basically nothing. Drinks are more than double the price of most restaurants. The staff were dismissive and very unfriendly. The cruise showed us a great view of the commercial port and a very quick jaunt toward the city lights. But that's not the worst part. You board at the scheduled time sit at the dock while you are served your e-Coli laden meal for over an hour before the boat even moves. You end up 'cruising for about 45 minutes. At least the toilets were clean ;)
