    Huy did a great job as our guide. He explained everything and shared some interesting history. His English is great and this was so helpful. The food was good, the band was a little loud but it made us smile. You won’t be disappointed

    The puppet show is just amazing. Until now, I still couldn't figure out how they did it. Overall, it was simple but great. My main attraction was the cruise. I believe it would have been more fun if the cruise had lasted longer. The cruise time was too short.

    It was an amazing experience. Our guide Ms. Hana was very kind, soft spoken and great to be with. I went with my family for the first time to Vietnam and this was one of the initial tours we took. I really enjoyed it and would recommend.

    It was an enjoyable, and certainly different, evening. The puppet show was not only entertaining, it gave an insight to the history and culture of Vietnam. I wish the volume of the singers and band could have been turned down. There were times I had to cover my ears it was so loud. The cruise was nice. Buffet dinner was typical buffet-some food cold, but had a wide variety of local cuisine. Guide was helpful and informative. We would recommend this evening to friends.

  • Well Recommended for a great evening

    What a great evening we had, our guide Huy was excellent, his knowledge of Vietnam was brilliant, the puppet show was very good and the dinner cruise was lovely, the food was very good and the entertainment was excellent. It’s a must if visiting Hoi Chinh Min City. Thanks to Huy and his driver for a great evening, best of luck for your future Huy, you are a credit to the tour company, Vinny and Candy Liverpool England

    Hana was so good. The water puppet show was good, but do not take the seat that was given to me as it was difficult to see. Then I shifted to the next seat. On the cruise even if we pay more can you give Ruby Hall as it was a happening place

    We really enjoyed the puppet show. Our tour guide was a bit shy and I had to keep asking questions to have a tour. Overall, I enjoyed. Our server on the river boat was so nice. I felt bad pointing out she forgot to bring us one dish. They made it up right away, absolutely no issue, but she felt bad. I would do this again.

  • Great night

    Our tour guide Hana stayed the whole tour and personally guided us through all stages . She helped make it an excellent tour. Hana picked us up exactly on time. The puppet show is not what you would expect it is really unique and well worth attending. We thoroughly enjoyed the dinner there was plenty of variety and was delicious. The band on our deck was very entertaining and interacted with the audience.All in all a great night highly recommended .

    Hana was very punctual, professional, and she provided great conversation. The show itself was amazing & entertaining. Since it's a local show, don't expect English, but you won't need it. It's comical and easy to follow, just sit back and enjoy. The boat dinner was really good as well, the transportation was very efficient. Overall great trip, once again, thanks Hana.

  • An expensive disappointment

    A tame experience. Water puppet show was canceled due to a River Festival. The guide dropped us off at the boat where we and another guest had to figure out the rest ourselves. The Vietnamese buffet was okay but not great. Entertainment with some dancing and music after dinner was okay. We could watch the boat trip down the river and there was a nice view, but a guide was missing to tell us along the way. The trip was saved by a huge firework and light show along the river due to the “River Festival”. Back at the quay, we were picked up by the guide and driven back to the hotel in a private car, just as the guide got off before us. We were disappointed! Price and experience did not match.
