    Operating Schedule: 1. Guided Walking Experience at 3:00 PM everyday (Optional) - You can join or skip the walking tour. Meet your English-speaking local guide at the Saigon Opera House. Your guide will take you on a short walking tour along Nguyen Hue Boulevard, sharing fun facts, local culture, and Saigon stories. This light walking tour helps you warm up and explore the area in a relaxing and engaging way. 2.

Enjoy Sightseeing Cruise Enjoy the river cruise of your Upper Deck Cruise. Relax on board, take photos of Saigon’s stunning skyline, and enjoy the fresh river breeze. (The guide will assist you until you board the cruise.) Pass by the iconic Nha Rong Wharf, Bitexco building, Landmark 81, and many other buildings along the Saigon River. Sip on a drink while sightseeing with a bar ready to serve you onboard. Enjoy an uninterrupted journey, made comfortable with padded seats and clear aisles on the train. How many times have you passed by the Saigon River, but have you ever seen the river like a "silk strip" flowing across the city? Have you had time to admire the magnificent architecture and the iconic buildings on both sides of the river, coloring the softness of the river? Cruising in the sunset hour where the water is sparkling with vibrant splashes of pink, orange and gold and the air is crisp and breezy. Cruise on the Saigon River to enjoy the city is an experience not to be missed when you are in the pearl of the Far East. Or take a ride in the evening when the stars align and the city is bright with neon lights.

    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.

    Nice 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.

    Relaxing experience

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