MUST SEE! Charming, easy to understand, and unique performance followed by a great dinner on a boat - Totally fun and laugh-out-loud worth it! You do not need to know a word of Vietnamese to easily follow the short, charming skits, and it's really interesting to see how cleverly the hidden puppeteers manipulate the unusual puppets to splash, dive, leap, etc, on the unique stage that emulates the tradition Mekong Delta countryside. Afterwards, there is a dinner on a boat. The buffet is fine, but the GREAT thing is that there are open air balconies along either side that allows you to step out into the fresh air and enjoy the various night skyline views of this dynamic, up-and-coming Asian metropolis.

River boat tour - My favorite part was riding the motorbike with my guide Hannah and seeing parts of Saigon that may not be well known. Truly a unique and wonderful experience. Would recommend to any one who is looking for something a little different

Not a 4-Hour cruise - You will not spend 4 hours on the river. We were the last to get on board at 7.15 PM due to tour operator mixing up out hotel location. Dinner was already underway.
Boat un-docked at 7.45 PM. And came back to dock at 9.15 PM. So 90 minutes sailing on the river. Maybe they meant 4 hours door-to-door but even that was not 4 hours!
Entertainment and 3-man band wasn't something to write home about. No commentary to point out interesting spots as the boat sailed by. Food was fair but nothing to wow you. Any drinks were extra money including water!
Another reviewer said the food was cold. Ours were just at room temperature, not warm but not cold.

Noisy and the food was average! - Very noisy. The food was average. It was difficult to choose a cruise and I think we probably made the wrong choice!

Only had 1.5 hours because of wrong pickup point and confusion with people in charge - Be careful with information you get I was given address for pickup got there at 6 like I was told then found out it was wrong had to get a grab to port made it at 748 pm Food was minimal and cold we left 750 pm for cruising and came back 915pm so I paid for 4hours and received 1.5 hours plus had to pay for 2 Grabs because of mixup I’m hoping Viator will compensate me for this cruise that my Wife and I were hoping.If you look at how many trips I have booked with Viator in past year I hope you wish to keep me as a customer
