Saigon Evening: Water Puppet Show & Dinner Cruise Experience

The puppet show was excellent! Great musicians and puppeteers. Our tour guide and driver were great! The cruise food was very good. I gave it a 4 because the cruise really needs an 18 year old and above only dining area. There were multiple unruly small children running up on the stage and people coming in and out of the live entertainment area, that didn’t pay for that portion of the cruise. Also, the first entertainment of the evening were belly dancers with Middle Eastern music? That was unexpected. That performance caught us off guard and did not align with the atmosphere we were expecting. We were also uncomfortable with how scantily clad the performers were, as it was not the type of entertainment or atmosphere we were anticipating. We much preferred the second act that came out. They were traditional Vietnamese musicians, but we couldn’t enjoy them because the small children were running up onto the stage and many people from other parts of the ship were coming in that room and blocking our view.

Thank you Anna and Mr Phat. The drive in (whist short) was during peak hour in Ho Chi Min City and Anna was very friendly and knowledgeable. Meal was nice, and the views from the river is stunning.

The saigon evening is good experience. The water puppet interesting. Tuco is good tour guide. Introducing many things and history and culture.

Tuco is a good tour guide. He introduced a lot of information and history during the tour. It’s a great night, I enjoyed so much.

Tuco is an amazing guide! Thank you so much. The show was extraordinary. The cruise - marvellous. They cared about my vegetarian preference. The overall experience was fantastic. Tuco explained everything to us and gave us a lot of information about the place. We really felt so welcomed. Totally recommended.

Had a great time and this our guide Lam he is loveliest guide i have ever seen in vietnam. He enjoyed with us tell us detailed insite of each aspect fully and totally recommended

Our guide Bao was very accommodating when I ask to change our pick-up location. He was very friendly with answering our questions and gave us a history lesson while on our way to the destinations. The show was great and the dinner cruise aboard the Indochina Queen was fun. Highly recommend Bao and this tour!

The puppet show was good although its in thier language... not English. But still good to see. Then the cruise was there... the ship was beautiful and dance n songs were there... but FOOD WAS THE PROBLEM. DO NOTE .. there is NO VEGETARIAN FOOD AVAILABLE AT ALL. BEING PURE VEGETARIAN.. .. means we eat no eggs .. no fish.. no meet ..no beef.. no seafood.. it was very difficult. .. but for others it is good. Because for them there is no concept of PURE INDIAN VEGETARIAN . THEY CONSIDER FISH N EGGS AS VEGETARIAN. SO BE CAREFUL WITH FOOD.. REST WAS OK. Apart from this the trip was very good n worth visiting .

Thoroughly enjoyed our visit to the Water Puppet show and then the dinner cruise. Food and service were excellent. We had the set menu which was expertly served to us by the wait staff. Drink prices were reasonable. Only negative is that the food is served at a fast pace and you don’t get much time to enjoy the views and take photos.

Fantastic show piece for Ho Chi Minh. The pick up was brilliant in an air conditioning vehicle comms were brilliant. Tom & driver Jerry were professional. The puppet show was a gem. The river cruise and meal was fantastic, it was a real top trip for our final night in Vietnam
