Our Saigon River Boutique Cruise was a cool experience. The one hour boat ride was just nice, and the boat itself felt super classic; very charming.
It was such a nice way to stroll along the river and see a different side of the city. You get to check out all the buildings along the river, from the older ones to the super new Saigon skyline, which was pretty cool and some buildings looked very futuristic too I must say.
Our guide was awesome too! He was really good at sharing history and facts about the river, like how many districts Saigon has (who knew there were 24?!), and tons of other interesting tidbits. He even went out of his way to offer to take pictures for every group, which was a lovely touch. And being able to order a drink to sip while enjoying the view? Total bonus points right there!
Definitely recommend this if you're looking for a relaxing way to see Saigon from a different perspective.

We had a wonderful time on this speedboat cruise. Only four of us and our guide Moon was so kind and knowledgable, providing us with a historical, cultural and economic background of the city, allowing us to look beyond the glitz of the city centre, taking a peek at the lives of real Saigonese. She told us how to take the best photos and even guided us personally to our restaurant for dinner afterwards. The sunset cocktail included in the tour was in a lovely quiet spot. Highly recommended.

I really enjoyed the coconut boat ride. It was scary at first because you need to balance when you are about to step inside, but when you are seated it is relaxing. They will lend you a non la hat especially when it is so sunny. Our boatman is so entertaining, she even taught us some basic vietnamese phrases. She is so engaging and explain us everything that can be seen on the ride. The paymen for this though is for the boat ride only. There is a separate for those twirly coconut ride. They are separate from the boat ride itself. Anyway, this is a must experience when visiting Hoi An.

Everything is as described. We were picked up at 8 am near our hotel on Old Quarter and went by the same comfortable 19-seat bus to Halong. Our tour guide informed us about the stops on the way, which included a visit to a pearl farm. It was interesting to hear how pearls grow. Nobody made you buy anything, but you could. Then we arrived to Halong and cruised around. Food was good, it included seafood and many other options. The highlight was the watching a live performance.

really good experience. Hoi An Old town is just like in the pictures except with a ton of people. but still with visiting and trying. this ticket was so good. could use from 5 to 9pm. very easy to find shop near the Japanese bridge and the people were very friendly and caring. safety was fairly good with life jackets, lanterns were very pretty but i do feel sad for the environment so think before you release one. you can still enjoy without releasing the Lantern. would highly recommend this service.

It rained heavily at the beginning of the activity and everyone was so confused. When we got to the first stop to take pictures, we could only sit down and rest and have drinks at our own expense. However, the tour guides tried their best to cooperate and help find umbrellas. When the weather was good, they helped everyone take photos for the internet, including Qianqiu photos, upright photos of sea surface corals (heavily retouched), and drone videos. We tried our best to satisfy everyone. At the second stop, we went to a restaurant to eat something similar to hot pot and seafood. The tour guide provided us with snail seafood unique to the south at our own expense, so we bought it greedily. Of course, he chopped up the meat and added seasonings. The last stop was to play water activities, which included paragliding and an inflatable boat. For paragliding, we had to sign first, and it was really exciting to fly into the sky by ourselves! It must be one of the bucket lists that must be implemented! Unexpectedly, the inflatable boat ride was so fast and exciting that we laughed and screamed. Finally, we were able to use the equipment provided to snorkel and see corals and small fish. One thing I want to say is that the tour guide mainly speaks Vietnamese, so you have to wait for him to speak a lot of Vietnamese before he can speak a little English. If you mind, think twice.
