Highlight of our Vietnam tour - We had a fantastic evening, largely thanks to an exceptional tour and an outstanding guide. Vins truly brought the history of Vietnam to life with his engaging storytelling. He picked us up from our accommodation, took us to a captivating puppet show, and then guided us on a lovely river dinner cruise. He even captured some wonderful photos of us on the boat. I can't recommend him highly enough!

Nice way to spend your evening - Completed this trip on a Sunday evening . Tour company kept in touch via WhatsApp throughout.
Pick up was prompt and taken on tour . The guide we had - Vinh- was very knowledgeable, patient and polite throughout.
On the cruise the buffet was plentiful and had something for all tastes , live entertainment provided throughout or after food you can go to the top deck for incredible views of the city and it's life . Vinh gave us a history of the city and plenty information of the city currently and where to go etc .

It was really romantic when we enjoyed Vietnamese food together on a luxurious wooden boat - It was really romantic when we enjoyed Vietnamese food together on a luxurious wooden boat in an evening not knowing where to go in Ho Chi Minh City I accidentally saw a dinner boat tour and we decided to choose to spend time having dinner together on the boat and see the whole Ho Chi Minh City with views that we cannot see when on the shore and our tour guide was very funny and cheerful we talked a lot about life in Vietnam and a plus for him when we got off the boat we had a driver to pick us up we were very satisfied with that because most people had to wait for the car for a long time. In summary we were very satisfied with the service as well as the romantic and luxurious dinner on the boat

Amazing Buffet cruise experience - We booked this tour because we weren’t confident enough to book a dinner cruise and get to the boat dock by ourselves.
This was the only tour I could find that had a dinner buffet instead of a course dinner (we are picky eaters lol) and I am glad I decided to book this tour; we got to see the water puppet show which was new to us and interesting and also had great dinner on the boat:)
Although there was not much explanation for the tour guide (there isn’t much to explain for this tour in the first place so I get it), our tour guide was friendly and we felt very safe because he can speak both English/Vietnamese and can help us out when we need help with communicating. In terms of that, I would recommend this tour for those who want a safe ride to the puppet show and the boat dock, get tickets for the show without communicating with local people in Vietnamese, enjoy a buffet dinner, and get back to the hotel safely. But those who want the tour guide to explain lots of information about the puppet show etc, might want to book another tour. Anyways, the tourist agency was super helpful, recommended us places to visit, responded really quick and was great! Would want to try out other tours conducted by this company next time I visit:)
Thank you so much!

What a excellent tour ! - I knew this tour from my friend's advertisement, so I decided to book this tour.
The tour guide was friendly and arrived in time. They were friendly, and enthusiastic. It is the best solutions for me to enjoy delicious food and beautiful landscape. On this trip, I was amazed by the professional performances from the puppeteers and those who sang and played Vietnamese folk instruments, the melody of the music combined with the unique stories of the playwright's wife.
After the show, the tour leader carefully waited for me until the end of the play in order to get on the next train. When I get there , it' was a great ship with delicious food and a variety of choices for dinners. At the close of my lunch, my travel agent took me on board a vessel to take pictures of the beautiful sights of Ho Chi Minh City at night.

Friendly tour guide with amazing tour - I had a business trip to America and a 3-day cultural scene in Vietnam. I decided to choose a hotel and book a water puppet tour and dinner cruise.
I chose Vietnam packet tour because I saw all the interesting reviews from previous people and honestly I don't feel disappointed with my decision.
The tour guide arrived very early and waited for us at the hotel. They were friendly, enthusiastic and thoughtful friends. On this trip, the first stop was the water puppet show. WOW! I felt very impressed with the professional performances from the puppeteers and those who sang and played Vietnamese folk instruments, the melody of the music combined with the unique stories of the playwright's wife. Buying water puppets made a deep impression on me.
After the performance, the tour guide attentively waited for me before the end of the performance to catch the train. When you get there, it's a beautiful ship with delicious food and countless choices for diners. At the end of the meal, my tour guide invited me onto the boat to take pictures with the beautiful scenery of Ho Chi Minh City at night.

A lovely cultural experience. - I enjoyed this tour very much. It was a surprise finding out that as a solo traveller I would travel by scooter but my tour guide Oliver was lovely and I felt very safe. It truly is the best way to get around Ho Chi Minh. Oliver explained what was happening at water puppet show, as this was in Vietnamese. I was able to get some great photos on the Dinner cruise with Oliver's assistance. Highly recommended.

Enjoyable tour mostly because of tour guide - This tour was very enjoyable. Our tour guide, Castle, was super nice and friendly and full of information about the city. The puppet show was funny and interesting and the city lights looked beautiful at night from the cruise boat. The negatives were the tour was very rushed and time was so tight, we had to leave the puppet show early and didn’t get to watch the whole thing. Also, when we got to the boat cruise, there wasn’t much food left, so we had to scrape the bottom of the barrel for food. I thought they would bring out more food but they didn’t. So yeah, we were really eating the last bit of food left. The food was tasty and I’m sure it would’ve been better if most of it hadn’t been almost finished by the time we got there. The music was also really loud and we could barely hear each other talking. Good thing they stopped after a while. Also the boat looks a little older and more outdated than the other ones. Overall, an enjoyable tour and thing to do in Ho Chi Minh and I recommend but mostly because the tour guide was really nice.
