17:30: Pick up at your hotel to star the trip. 18:30: You will enjoy the unique art of a water-puppet show, a traditional art form closely connected with the long-standing spiritual life of the Vietnamese people. It is performed in a pool of water, with the water surface acting as the stage. The puppeteers will stand behind a screen and control the puppets using long bamboo rods and string mechanisms which are hidden beneath the water surface. A traditional Vietnamese orchestra will provides background music accompaniment, and singers with origins in north Vietnam will sing songs which tell the story being acted out by the puppets ( are carved out of wood). Although the authentic shows are exclusively in Vietnamese, the tales depict rural life in villages and offer a colorful way to enjoy an ancient tradition.

4.00Kim our guide was outstanding! Very professional and polite young man. The puppet show, especially front row, was really authentic and neat to see. Transportation was really good as well. Cruise ship/boat was very nice! Only reason I have a 4 vs a 5 is the food. I know it’s a buffet, but it wasn’t quite as good as we had hoped. However overall we had a really good time.
Great way to spend an evening

5.00Our guide Ken was wonderful, we had great seats at the water puppet show (front row) and the cruise had good buffet food, great sights from the multi level decks and warm joyful live entertainment. It was a wonderful relaxing way to end our time in HCMC. The company was easy to communicate with and very helpful. Even personally assisted me at the buffet to make sure my seafood allergies were taken care of (thanks Ken!)
Amazing

4.00This night tour was absolutely amazing. The house picked us up from the hotel on scooters and off we went l. Oh my goodness it was the best of fun and the riders were very safe and we felt very comfortable. The night food market tour was so enjoyable we recommend it. The food and locations were well worth the money and recommend it as a must do. The guides were amazing and knowledgeable.
Excellent night in Ho Chi Minh
