  • 5We had a very informative...

    We had a very informative walking tour. Our guide Tin was very friendly and extremely knowledgable on HCMC and Vietnam history. The boat was the perfect size. We received a complimentary beverage and pastry. There was also good local entertainment on the boat.

  • 5Beautiful and comfortable boat

    Such a lovely boat ride. We sat on the top deck in very comfortable seats. The views of the city were absolutely spectacular. The boat operator was organized and exactly on schedule. We got drinks and a treat and even a live music show!

  • 5Nice experience

    Very enjoyable boat ride covering the highlights of Ho Chi Minh. Loved having assigned seats and the live music, limited commentary but perfect for a short ride.

  • 5Great

    The below deck was lovely. The ice cream is more like frozen yogurt and the entertainment was lovely. I liked the radio tour.

About Ho Chi Minh City

Ho Chi Minh City, still widely called Saigon, is Vietnam's buzzing commercial hub of French colonial landmarks, war history and superb street food.

District 1 holds the main sights within walking distance: the red-brick Notre-Dame Cathedral, the elegant Central Post Office with its vaulted hall, the colonial Opera House and the ornate City Hall. The Independence Palace preserves its rooms as they were at the end of the war, and the War Remnants Museum tells the story of the conflict with sobering directness.

Top-ranked sights in Ho Chi Minh City: Cu Chi Tunnels, Saigon Opera House (Opéra de Saïgon), Saigon Central Post Office.
