Wonderful experience, tailor made service and excellent communication.

We booked the dinner cruise quite spontaneously as a surprise for our daughter's birthday. She went with a couple of friends and loved the trip. The team created a wonderful and unforgettable experience for her and her friends. They put so much effort into making this evening special for her with cake, surprises, DJ announcements, and a song to wish her. I am very happy we chose this opportunity, it was the right present from abroad. What I want to mention is the team's great responsiveness and super-friendly communication. Considering that I made the booking from Tanzania for our daughter in Ho-Chi-Minh, the language barrier and time zones weren´t an issue at all. I felt taken care of perfectly. Thank you, Sam! I can only recommend the tour and will do it myself once visiting Ho-Chi-Minh.

Camellia best tour guide

It was the best experience from the food, the views, and to the hospitality. Camellia was the best tour guide and she went out of her way to accommodate me while I am injured. 5 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
