The travel company – Saigon Tourist has just announced the opening of seven new river tours which will take tourists around Ho Chi Minh City via canals and rivers.
Mrs Nguyen Thi Hong, Deputy Chairwoman of the People’s Committee in Ho Chi Minh city, said that opening these river tours on two main rivers in the City, namely Saigon River and Dong Nai River, will prove beneficial for tourism.

For years, the City ran river tours but these still were ineffective. Wherefore, the City asked Saigon Tourist Company to promote and exploit more river tours in a bid to attract more holidaymakers (local and international), said Hong.
The tours will depart daily from Bach Dang Pier and food will be served on board. From here, tourists can choose to travel to seven destinations: Dong Tay Highway, Binh Quoi, Cu Chi Tunnels, Vam Sat Tourism Center, Phu My Hung New Urban Area in District 7 and Can Gio orchards in Long Phuoc Ward in District 9.
Price of tickets ranges from VND295,000 to VND1.68 million per passenger.
