Passeios por Saigon River

We enjoyed the entire trip. Our driver and guide picked us up at the hotel in District 3 at 5:50 PM, and we went straight to the water puppet theater. We arrived at 6:05 PM and still had time to relax before the show started at 6:30 PM. The show ended at 7:15 PM, and we rushed to the wharf to catch our cruise sailing at 7:45 PM. We had our buffet dinner and went upstairs to the open area for pictures. We returned around 9:00 PM.

Ông Tanh, hướng dẫn viên của chúng tôi, đã rất nhiệt tình giúp đỡ trong suốt chuyến đi. Anh ấy đã hướng dẫn chúng tôi mọi lúc vì chúng tôi là một nhóm du lịch lớn. Chúng tôi đã biết được nhiều điều mới mẻ và lịch sử phong phú về văn hóa Việt Nam. Rất khuyến khích.

The tourist guide is great, just be prepared to walk more than 200 steps up. We didn't go to the sculpture museum, instead we went to a silk facility, it was okay and expect that they will offer for you to buy bedsheets made of silk and other clothing.

The magnificent natural beauty of Ha Long Bay is something you truly can't appreciate from photos alone; you have to experience it in person. I highly recommend it. Luckily, our tour guide was Johnny Handsome, who many others have praised in their reviews. He worked hard to make the tour lively and ensured we traveled safely and smoothly. The driver, though a bit gruff, drove very safely. Since my hotel was in a complicated location, the tour started with a motorbike transfer. We then traveled comfortably on a large bus along the highway, stopping twice for toilet breaks at a souvenir shop and a pearl shop during the two-and-a-half-hour journey. Upon arrival at the pier, we were immediately guided onto the boat for a lunch buffet. The food was reasonably good. Drinks were extra. We first chose between a bamboo boat, kayak, or speedboat (with an additional charge) and enjoyed our respective activities. The bamboo boat was rowed for us, allowing us to take photos at leisure. Kayaking seemed challenging for beginners, as it navigated through many passing bamboo boats. Next, we moved a short distance by boat to visit a cave. The cave tour was about 2km and took an hour. The initial ascent to the entrance was a steep staircase, followed by repeated ups and downs on stairs, which was honestly tiring. However, there were spots with panoramic views of Ha Long Bay, and I managed to take beautiful photos. After that, we moved a short distance by boat to Ti Top Island, where you can swim or climb to the observation deck. Honestly, my legs were tired from the cave, so I just relaxed on the boat, haha. The day concluded with a sunset party. It was very simple: tea, a small amount of red wine, small mango cookies, fried rice crackers, and watermelon. You could order beer, cocktails, and juices for an extra charge, but it was a bit disappointing. Nevertheless, Ha Long Bay at sunset was incredibly beautiful and the highlight. Since you spend the entire day on the same boat in the same seat, you can leave your belongings (except valuables) and travel light for sightseeing. On the way back, we had one toilet break at a souvenir shop, and I was dropped off near my hotel while I was dozing off. It was a fulfilling and enjoyable day.

I had an amazing experience visiting the Cu Chi Tunnels! The whole trip was very well organized, and everything went smoothly from start to finish. What really made the tour special was our guide—he was incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and passionate about the history of the place. He explained everything clearly and shared so many interesting stories that helped us truly understand the significance of the tunnels. Walking through the area and learning about how people lived and survived there during the war was both fascinating and eye-opening. The guide made the experience engaging and memorable the entire time. I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Vietnam. If you’re interested in history and want a deeper understanding of the Cu Chi Tunnels, this is definitely worth it. Big thanks to our amazing tour guide for making the trip unforgettable!

本当にパッケージの価値がありました。一日中とてもリラックスでき、ガイドの「ティー」さんが見事に管理してくれました。彼女は非常にエネルギッシュでありながら落ち着いて全員をまとめ、私たち一人ひとりに価値を与え、終始助けてくれました。

The service operates during the Lunar New Year. The bus picks up passengers from various hotels in Hanoi around 5 AM. After a journey of just over two hours, with a brief stop at a highway rest area, we arrived at the visitor center around 8 AM. We then reported to the reception (near Highlands Coffee) ourselves, took a shuttle to the pier, and boarded the boat. Each island stop lasts about 30-40 minutes, with transfers between different small and medium-sized boats. It's essential to follow the staff's instructions. Due to the tight schedule, you can ask staff to help clear the way, get tickets, or retrieve rafts, otherwise, you might lose a lot of time just queuing. The same bus waited at the visitor center for returning passengers. Our return was delayed by an hour due to other passengers, but the driver was very patient. There were no shopping stops throughout the trip. Thanks to the staff's efforts, the arrangements were very smooth, and the food was delicious. A truly satisfying experience!
