Special and Memorable Evening - Our last night in Saigon was very memorable with a visit to the Water Puppet Show and dinner cruise on the Saigon River. Our guide for the night did a wonderful job making us feel like we were VIPs. He was very attentive and made our evening even more special and memorable. Would highly recommend this tour.

Amazing Ho Co Minh City experience! - The water puppet show was very skilful, but we truly loved the dinner cruise. Seeing Ho Chi Minh City from the boat was amazing, particularly the bright city lights.

Beautiful vietnamese story telling - This was a topical vietnamese storey telling puppet show, excellence in its performance to get the storey over even tho it was in their language you got the drift of what was happening. Room was intermittent with I say about 100-150 seats so everyone was able to see.

Amazing evening; two lots of entertainment wrapped into one night..must do! - Two fantastic adventures in one tour, with the most amazing tour guide ‘Luc’. A must do tour with Luc whilst in Ho Chi Minh City. He is the friendliest, happiest and most informative tour guide! The puppet show was very entertaining and the dinner cruise had a beautiful atmosphere cruising along the river, with a delicious array of food. Thank you to Luc and Star Vietnam Holidays Travel for a great night.

Fun Night! - My husband and I enjoyed the water puppet show a lot. Even though we didn’t understand the language the show was very interesting and entertaining. After the show our Tour Guide Luc took us for the dinner cruise. The dinner cruise was also a fun activity with a lot of delicious food and live entertainment by professional singers and dancers. Remember to bring cash to pay for your drinks. View of illuminated HCMC from the Cruise was spectacular. I would definitely recommend this tour, and our tour guide was very helpful throughout. He even informed us a day before about the exact pick up time. Thank you Mr. Luc from Vietnam Holiday Travel!

Perfect Cultural Night! - Awesome night we had! Me and my husband always love local culture, and this trip is perfect for those who like to explore the cultural event. The dinner also okay but i think because we come from one of asean countries too so we think the dinner can be more tasty next time :) but the cruise experience is beautiful, we love the live music they play old songs - and also the traditional dance is nice.
