Awesome Bus Tour and Cruise. Highly Recommend.
We have just done the bus and dinner cruise The bus tour was great we saw a lot of sights around Saigon. We finished the bus tour and found our driver to take us to the dinner cruise he was in the same place as the drop off for the bus tour. On the cruise the food could not be faulted, was excellent, the entertainment and the cruise was great. The service from this company was very helpful. We would highly recommend.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your wonderful feedback! we hope to welcome you back for another memorable experience in the future!

Ho Chi Minh City sightseeing tour and Dinner On cruise
City tour took an hour,But we were not given enough information regarding the Dinner cruise pick up .So we end up following anoher sight seeing tour bus as they advised us this one is for the dinner cruise and you will get drop off at the pier. After we got there we got a phone call from our tour operator,They came and met us at the pier. The Dinner cruise itself was a fantastic memorable experience with 3 course meal served We really enjoyed it.and will recommed to others.

Saigon city by Night: Double-Decker Bus & Dinner on Cruise: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Ho Chi Minh City.
How much does Saigon city by Night: Double-Decker Bus & Dinner on Cruise cost?
+
Prices start at $65 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Ho Chi Minh City usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Saigon city by Night: Double-Decker Bus & Dinner on Cruise take?
+
Plan for about 4 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Ho Chi Minh City is not rushed.
Is Saigon city by Night: Double-Decker Bus & Dinner on Cruise worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 59 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 8 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Ho Chi Minh City, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Saigon city by Night: Double-Decker Bus & Dinner on Cruise?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Saigon city by Night: Double-Decker Bus & Dinner on Cruise suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Saigon city by Night: Double-Decker Bus & Dinner on Cruise?
+
Around 3 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Ho Chi Minh City can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Ho Chi Minh City and add a light layer if any part of the 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Saigon city by Night: Double-Decker Bus & Dinner on Cruise start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Ho Chi Minh City within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Ho Chi Minh City?
+
On Outty we rank every Ho Chi Minh City experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Cai Be Mekong Delta Tour: Cooking Class, Cycling & Craft Villages, Adventure Cu Chi Tunnels and Mekong Delta Tour From HCM, Cu Chi Tunnels and Mekong Delta 1 Day Tour With Small Group. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Ho Chi Minh City?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Ho Chi Minh City?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in Saigon city by Night: Double-Decker Bus & Dinner on Cruise?
+
Included: Double decker bus night tour tickets; On-board WiFi; Pick up and Drop off in District 1; Dinner; and In-vehicle air conditioning. Not included: Beverage, Tips and Personal cost; and Alcoholic beverages. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does Saigon city by Night: Double-Decker Bus & Dinner on Cruise include hotel pickup?
+

What languages is Saigon city by Night: Double-Decker Bus & Dinner on Cruise offered in?
