Customer Reviews

The best boat tour! We went at sunset. The boat and crew were outstanding! They offer snacks and drinks on board. Any questions we had about sites our guide had extensive knowledge of all the sights.

Absolutely loved our river tour! We were lucky enough to be the only couple on this particular tour, so Hanh, our tour guide, tailored the experience to us, so it was like our own private tour. Hanh was always ready to answer any questions we had and gave us some great history about Ho Chi Minh along the way, but she also...

Lovely experience; a must do when in Saigon. We took our guests who were visiting and they felt it was the best thing that they did while in Saigon. They organize snacks, drinks (beer on tap), cutlery, crockery, music et al…you don't have to do anything. Plus there is a toilet onboard too

FUN and EXCITING way to the MEKONG DELTA

"We took the Authentic Real Mekong Delta to Ben Tre tour from Saigon River Tour in April and it was everything we hoped it would be. I really wanted to see and experience the Mekong Delta during our visit to Vietnam. We could have taken one of the many land-based excursions but then we would have been trapped in a van for several hours each way. Instead, we choose the Saigon River Tour and we are so glad we did. We met the boat at the pier in District 1, which was very close to our hotel. Our guide, Rambo, welcomed us on board and we were off down the Saigon River. Rambo told us much about what we were passing as we made our way downriver. He was very knowledgeable about Saigon, the history and what we were looking at. We were absolutely blown away by the amount of boat traffic on the Saigon River and then on the Mekong when we got there. And it made it so much better to be on the river ourselves and be part of the water highway. The excursion on Unicorn Island gave us a nice introduction into life on the Mekong Delta. The tour included a lunch that was unbelievable! So many good foods and so many choices! Then we settled in for the two hour return on the river. And the entire time we just took in the wild adventure that is life on the rivers of Vietnam."

Thieng Lieng Island: A Shangri-La far from Saigon "Saigon river tour is a good option for travelers who have visit Post office, CIty hall and etc. We choose Tieng Lieng as destination. Which is 1 hour far form HCMC by speedboat. You can see urban, ports, mangrove forest on the way to Tieng Lieng Island. And when you are on land, you can find lots of funs. Drink local teas, watch traditional musical performances, see how salt are harvest, and experience herb feet bath. The most important bonuses are the fresh air and the warm welcoming hosts. We thanks for Ms. Dung, our tour guide. Very good service and company."

William Y. G.

" Today has been our best day in Vietnam by far! We boarded a speed boat in Ho Chi Minh City, and enjoyed breakfast as we cruised along the Saigon River to the Cu Chi Tunnels. Our guide, Mr Chí, did a fantastic job of showing us all that there was to know, and also of timing each part of the day to avoid crowds. His fantastic sense of humour managed to lighten the mood of the tour, without being irreverent, and helped us enjoy it. We have been well educated, well fed, and well looked after. I highly recommend this!

Mekong River Cruise: Cambodia and Vietnam

Unforgettable journeys on asia’s most legendary river.

At the same time, the lower Mekong basin is also a cradle for nature. It’s home to a wealth of fish that provides sustenance for the people and a myriad species of large waterbirds. In the verdant rice fields dotted with pockets of lush greenery, more bird and domestic wildlife species can be spotted along with the ubiquitous Brahman oxen that diligently work the fields. Aqua Expeditions’ luxury river cruise ship, Aqua Mekong, charts a path through the picturesque lower Mekong basin with expert guides on board. Navigating the Mekong river aboard our best-in-class vessel and following in the footsteps of royalty who have sailed before, this is the most enjoyable and rewarding way to experience the region.

Aqua Mekong offers luxurious cruising for those ready to experience a new adventure. Enjoy world-class Cambodian and Vietnamese cruises from the safety and comfort of a state of the art ship.

Home to the UNESCO-listed Angkor Wat temple complex at Siem Reap, Cambodia is a treasure trove of cultural relics from the Khmer empire. Today, intriguing remnants of Khmer culture exist alongside ethnic tribal traditions — with stunning green hills and sprawling rice fields as backdrop.

Situated in the Easternmost part of Indochina peninsula, Vietnam is a country that evokes highly visual memories: rows of street vendors wearing conical hats (nón lá), water buffalos plodding across rice fields and colourful floating markets on the Mekong river.

The 12th longest river in the world at 2,703 miles (4,350km), the Mekong flows from the Tibetan Plateau to the South China Sea through China, Laos, Cambodia and Vietnam. The lower Mekong basin, encompassing Cambodia and Vietnam, is the most commonly navigated section, with local sampans and boats a common sight along with river cruise ships such as the Aqua Mekong.

Pricing was also the best compared with other agencies. Highly and strongly recommend for all travels within southeast Asia. Ms. Jane Adams-Roy & Family - CANADA

"The best trip we've ever taken - absolutely incredible"

Thank you, Ms. Hanh Do. The Mekong river Cruise we booked with InsideTravel was probably the best trip we've ever taken. The Mekong and Tonle River cruise was absolutely incredible and the people of Vietnam and Cambodia are still in our minds, a couple weeks after returning home. We will definitely be recommending the trip, and InsideTravel, to our friends and colleagues. We have produced a video which summarizes our trip and have been distributing the link to our friends, family, and colleagues. You can view this video at http://youtu.be/fFgvqwgIvII . Once again, Thank you so much. Mr. Ryan LeClaire - UNITED STATES

"It was wonderful"

The staff aboard our Gecko eyes houseboat were amazing, the crew were rarely seen which gave us a real feeling of privacy & solitude which was so nice. When we did see them they were polite & very friendly. Our guide Dat was such a wonderful guy, he made everything so easy was so attentive to our every need. Dat even made a short movie for us of our experience which was such a nice touch & shows how attentive he was to our every need. The side tours were well organised & fun, Dat was very mindful of the heat & ensured that our comfort was well looked after with regards to the ground tours. The bike riding was such a high light.& the walking tour around the village was also great fun. Overall it was a wonderfull experience & I do thank you for upgrading us to one of your private houseboats... Thanks again for such a wonderful trip!!! Mr. Steven Moran - AUSTRALIA

"A fascinating insight into Cambodia"

My husband and I spent four days of our honeymoon on board the Jahan cruise , travelling from Siem Reap down to Phnom Penh, and we couldn't recommend it highly enough. The ship itself was beautiful, and the cabin very comfortable and spacious with its own private balcony. There were plenty of excursions and activities, all of which were very informative and the sort of thing we wouldn't have been able to do travelling under our own team, and our guide was excellent. Moreover, the crew were exceptional - and the food delicious. Thank you very much for your support! Mrs. Rachele Pipe - UNITED KINGDOM

The Mekong river cruise boat trip was great...from start to finish. The off-boat activities included programs for all ages. Not boring and not too long.

If you choose the right time for the Ho Chi Minh Boat tour, you can join a unique festival on the Saigon River – an exciting activity called the Ho Chi Minh City Water Festival.

About 40 cruise ships, yachts, restaurant ships, and canoes of units exploiting tourism on the Saigon  River  participated in parade activities during the Ho Chi Minh City Water Festival 2023, from August 4 to August 6, 2023.

Approximately 40 cruise ships, yachts, restaurant ships, and canoes from tourist units on the Saigon River took part in parade events at the Ho Chi Minh City Water Festival. Around 40 cruise ships, yachts, restaurant ships, and canoes join the river procession from Saigon port (District 4) to the Landmark 81 skyscraper (Binh Thanh district, Ho Chi Minh City), and vice versa.

Visitors are drawn to the ships and boats because they are decked with vividly colored lights. Simultaneously, the light from ships and boats reflects on the water, producing a colorful shimmering landscape.

This festival is the effort of the government to recreate the waterway trade space, preserving and promoting traditional values, especially developing typical tourism products associated with culture and history to attract tourists.

The Ho Chi Minh City Water Festival   also has many other activities such as a painting exhibition, miniature decoration according to the theme of the Water Festival and water sports activities: jet-board parade, traditional boat, tourist kayak, sup boat, sailboat…

At this festival, visitors, especially foreign visitors, will have the opportunity to experience the typical agricultural products of the river region of Vietnam through 20 display booths introducing agricultural products, specialties, regular food stalls, and other activities such as squeezing, writing calligraphy…

The highlight is the space under the boat to display specialty fruits in the regions where the program performs traditional arts for free, such as amateurs, folk songs, and modern music.

Fascinating Vietnam, Cambodia & the Mekong River (Southbound) 2024

The Mekong River cruise on the Siem Reap was incredible! The ship was nicely appointed and the staff were friendly and extremely attentive. We enjoyed eating tasty authentic Vietnamese and Cambodian dishes. Our excursions and guide were top-notch. We'll definitely book more adventures with Avalon!

From the Angkor Temples to the Mekong Delta (port-to-port cruise)

We had a great time. Accommodation was very good although our room at the back was a little noisy due to being near the generator and engine room which I would not recommend ( maybe a discounted price should be offered ). Very well organized and excellent tour manager. Always something on the itinerary even whilst the boat was sailing eg cookery demos, serviette folding, fruit carving, talks, films. I think the cruise could be shortened by a couple of days as a lot of the things we saw were very repetitive ,especially the pagodas! We were the only English guests on board which at times was a little difficult but on the plus side we had our own personal English speaking guides (3 in total at different parts of the cruise) which was fantastic. Chan Seng in Cambodia has to have a special mention for his fantastic knowledge and understanding of English.The food both on board and at restaurants on land was excellent my only complaint was that the drinks were not included in the package which for the price we paid I think they should have been, as most cruises do, ( only a soft drink or a beer were included per person per meal). Overall I would recommend this cruise as we had a lovely time.

Mekong Downstream Cambodia Vietnam on Mekong Navigator

Staff excellent. Cabin lovely but situated back of boat and engine noise so loud prevented sleep. Other passengers were warned if this and given a reduced rate. Food and service excellent. Mooring at Phnom Penh for three nights with no view but underside of dock made balcony unusable for almost half of cruise. €1000 refund from Lotus accepted. Tourradar attempt to claim 20% of that disgraceful.
