    No wonder it holds the title of the longest cable car in the world 🗺️ the experience truly lived up to its reputation and exceeded expectations.The entire process, from entering the queue to boarding, was remarkably smooth and well-organized, making the journey comfortable and stress-free. As the cable car ascended, the views were absolutely magnificent, offering breathtaking panoramas that made every moment unforgettable.It was an extraordinary experience and unquestionably a must-do attraction. I would gladly experience it again.

    Great concept and attractions, will need to study how to get around if you are not getting a guide. Outdoor rides are closed in bad weather.

    It was a nice experience, I’ve spent there the whole day. My advice: don’t go there at 9 am. The park will be opened, but all the activities opens at 10 am, so it was a bit waste of time. First place to go is definitely aquarium, because at noon it’s crowded with people and it’s impossible to take photos.

    The park was a lot of fun. Although it wasn't very big, you could see many wild animals. It allowed you to get close to nature and the origins of the animals. It would be even better if the ticket price were a little lower.

    This trip was great. Centrally located pick up and drop off points. Please note that the starting points are different at different times if the day. The bus drives through lots of the central parts of Saigon so you can see how the daily life is and how busy all the streets are from above. Driving such a large bus in the city is impressive. I went during a weekday afternoon so there were not as many people on the bus. which was great for me. Please note that when you ride the top of the bus it's quite scenic but also exposed to lots of sun.

    Like Venice so many colorful buildings, also bought a package to take the Venice boat, the captain was very kind to teach us poses or help us take pictures, cafe food is generally expensive to consume.

    This was a really fun experience and the puppeteers were very talented! It was also good value for money, but we were unsure why this was the top rated thing to do in Hanoi, as there were so many other amazing activities to do.
