Reviews
It’s a superb experience with this cruise ride! There’s a crew dedicated to share about stories of Saigon along the trip, and the boat is moving at a moderately slow speed that won’t cause motion sickness while also allowing us to have time for photos
Absolutely amazing experience on the Saigon River Boutique Sightseeing Cruise! The atmosphere was beautiful, the staff were incredibly welcoming and professional, and the views of Ho Chi Minh City from the river were stunning, especially as the city lights came on. The boat itself was clean, comfortable and had such a relaxing vibe. Everything felt very well organised from boarding to the end of the cruise. It was the perfect mix of sightseeing, relaxation and experiencing the city from a different perspective. Highly recommend this cruise to anyone visiting Ho Chi Minh City whether you’re travelling solo, with friends or as a couple. Definitely a 5-star experience and one of the highlights of my trip!
I really enjoyed my one hour aboard and I reccommend this tour for those who love scenic views. Our tour guide was amazing and really informative! I will definitely bring my family the next time I return to Saigon. 💖✨
We had missed our 3PM cruise, but the seller was very kind to allocate us to another slot available on the following day. A very huge thumbs up for this considerate seller for willingly to give up three empty seats for our negligence. We changed our timeslot to the night cruise at 9PM for the following day. It was a very comfortable boat capable of accomodating 20 seats. The night cruise was exactly 1 hour. The boat rode around Saigon river from one end of the bridge to landmark 81, then back to the pier. The guide was very nice to assist every passenger to take a group photo with their phones. He even explained the various districts and a brief history of Saigon. I would definitely recommend this cruise for anyone who wants to have a slow cruise along saigon river.

I was really impressed with this tour. In just one hour along the beautiful Saigon River, it became a truly memorable night. The guide was very kind and attentive to everyone, always asking if anyone wanted to take a photo. They also shared interesting information about each place. If I have the chance, I’ll definitely take my family back again.
The one-hour journey offered breathtaking panoramic views of the city's dynamic skyline, from historic colonial buildings to the glittering modern skyscrapers like Landmark 81. Our guide was fantastic, sharing interesting facts and stories about the landmarks we passed, including the Majestic Hotel and the Dragon Wharf. They were also more than happy to help take photos, which was a lovely touch.
we enjoyed the 1 hour river ride. The guide Long was informative and gave us enough time to relax, take photos and talk with the other people in the tour. It was rainy that day so it was quite gloomy but still we enjoyed it.
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.
This is the first thing we did in Ho Chi Minh and never failed to amaze us. The skyline at nightime showed the path of Vietnam to magnificence together with the distinct charm of the the river where to go next shown by the Saigon River Cruise crews.
