GONDOLA Stu Ranger
Venice is one of the most charming cities in the world , instead of cars and trams , boats , water buses and gondolas are used for transportation . The major waterway of Venice is the Grand Canal ( Canale Grande ). Here , in the heart of Venice , tourists will find the most important and magnificent sights of the city .
Now we have our own slice of Venice in HCMC “ The Nghe Canal ”.
There are two options for travel on this cruise offered by Ho Chi Minh City ’ s Department of Tourism and Saigon Boat JSC , the conventional boat , called Chong , which is designed like a small ferry to carry 7-20 passengers or the more romantic aboard the Gondola boat , which carrys 3-5 passengers . You are welcome to take food and drinks on board .
The price is around VND220,000 per person and although it is not through a labyrinth of the canals as in Venice , it is an enchanting way to see the waterways of HCMC viewing the city with a different perspective . The cruise operates daily from 8am to 8pm and is a very pleasant way to spend 1 hour 15 ’ to 1 hour 30 ’ taking in sites not seen when travelling by car through the bustling streets .
The guides speak English and they have an audio Guide as well ( included in the cost ) in French and English . The minimum
