Fantastic 5.0
The water puppet show was unique and fascinating, offering a great introduction to traditional Vietnamese culture. The performance was lively, colorful, and accompanied by live music, which made it even more engaging even if you don’t fully understand the language. After the show, the dinner cruise was a perfect way to relax. The atmosphere on the boat was lovely, with nice views of the city at night. The food was decent, with a variety of Vietnamese dishes to try. While it may not be a fine dining experience, it was still enjoyable and added to the overall experience. Overall, this is a great combination for anyone who wants to experience local culture and enjoy a scenic evening in Ho Chi Minh City. Easy booking on Klook and well-organized. Worth trying! 🥰🙆‍♀️🥰

I honestly don’t think I could thank Davis and the driver enough for this experience. From the moment we were picked up, they made us feel genuinely special and went above and beyond to ensure everything was perfect for our evening. The water puppet show was incredibly entertaining and such a unique cultural experience, while the cruise itself was peaceful, relaxing, and paired with absolutely delicious food. Everything flowed so smoothly and felt thoughtfully organised from start to finish. It ended up being such a memorable evening and one we’ll be talking about for a long time.

as a non-coffee lover, i booked this class because i want to learn different kinds of Vietnam coffees, and my favorite is salted ice coffee. Ms. La our instructor for this workshop is very kind, entertaining, and accommodating plus she is pretty! 😍 we enjoyed our coffee class and we get to met new people and met some fellow filipinas too! this coffee workshop experience is worth to try—I’ll rate this as 10000/10, for some non-coffee lover like me, don’t miss this workshop. it was really fun. Special thanks to Ms. La! hopefully we’ll comeback for your cooking class ✨🫶🏻🇻🇳🧿

Very fun way to see the whole city in a span of 1 hr. The heavy traffic coupled with the lack of wind breeze made the ride a bit unpleasant so I would bring a fan. Best the take the night bus if you want a visual tour of the city. Probably will be booking a 24 hr pass the next time I visit!

Spent my birthday on the Saigon Princess Cruise and it was honestly one of the best decisions I made during my trip! 🥹 I requested if they could do something for my birthday, and they were so thoughtful as they surprised me with a cake and even sang me Happy Birthday. It made me feel so special. The waiters were all so kind and attentive the whole time, and the live singers were amazing! It was also such a fun surprise that they were Filipino. They were so talented and really made the whole experience even better. Everything from the food, the views, the music, and the service was just amazing. If you're celebrating your birthday in Ho Chi Minh City, I 100% recommend spending it here. Thank you for making my birthday so memorable! ❤️

Went as a family of 8, we had so much fun! The dishes were satisfactory, I loved the cocktail I ordered, and the views as we cruised along was breathtaking. I would definitely come back with my boyfriend next time! ❤️
