Good experience. You don't need to stay at District 1 Hotel to get the pick up. We stayed at District 3 and the tour guide came on time. There were plenty of food served on the boat including traditional Vietnamese cuisine. Drinks cost extra. There were some musical and dance performance to enjoy during the dinner. Boat looks old from the outside but quite good. Restrooms were modern and clean. Tour guide will take you back to your hotel after the cruise.
