This was an excellent tour with a very knowledgable guide who kept us informed with commentary throughout the entire tour. Good use is made of maps, photos etc. to help explain what happened.

It is true the vehicle is not that big and if full you could well be cramped. Also since it is some years now since Katrina there has been quite a lot of rebuilding, so it may not seem as ruined as it once was. I wouldnt recommend it for young children either as the tour is long with only one stop.

This is an excellent trip and a far superior option to the day cruise (assuming you have time). The cabins, although rather small, exceeded my expectations, and we managed to fit in our 1-year old in a crib as well. The buffet dinner was excellent with lots of selections and high quality food. Also the wine choice was good and not overpriced.

Although the weather was cool we still did the water activities in the morning and these were very worthwhile. At that time of day youre the only ones in the Sound, so its a great time to be there.

Overall a highly recommended trip.

This was a great way to see the main highlights of Ho Chi Minh City in a day. A few points to bear in mind:

- Our tour only took 8 hours and the length will largely depend on the pace you take and what you choose to see
- The lunch was great but its a set meal. There are quite a number of courses so you should find something you like but people with limited scope may struggle
- Although the sights were good Ho Chi Minh is not the most attractive city in the world
- The tour is decent value but bear in mind Vietnam is very cheap compared to the West

Overall its worth doing this tour and our driver and guide were very friendly and helpful.
