Memorable and fun trip - The whole journey was very memorable, the jerry people were particularly nice, very enthusiastic and friendly, the water puppet show was very interesting, at first I thought it would be particularly difficult to understand because of the language barrier, but actually it's completely okay not to worry about it, all you need to do is enjoy the show, it's worth seeing. The dinner was on a cruise ship, and although the night scene was average, it was better than the service and performance, and the dishes were moderate. I might have preferred traditional Vietnamese cuisine to European, but it was still a very memorable journey overall.

Highly recommend pur tour guide, Ha Ha - The puppet show was amazing and the cruise dinner was nice. The two are definitely must-experience in Ho Chi Ming City. Special thanks to our tour guide, Ha Ha, who gave us a detailed introduction to Vietnam and answered our questions with patience. He's made our trip informative and interesting for sure!

Worth it and Enjoyable Experience ❤️ - I had an amazing time! My tour guide, Danny, has been warm and accommodating. He made sure that I am comfortable and enjoying. The Water Puppet Show was entertaining and the food in the River Cruise was amazing! I am blown. The performers there are also very very kind and always smiling. ☺️ I will share this story to my friends and colleagues in the Philippines 🇵🇭 They should also experience this.

Very enjoyable - water puppet show was very enjoyable even though didn’t understand the story as it was all in Vietnamese didn’t effect the overall experience as very cultural … the cruise and dinner was very good would of been better if we arrived earlier as didn’t have much time to experience the view as we were eating but would definitely recommend.

Avoid the Puppet Show and Dinner Cruise - The puppet show and diner cruise were both very good on February 14, 2025. The food on the dinner cruise was very good however we felt very rushed to finish dinner and get off the boat. We never had the chance to enjoy the boat itself. The problems started at the beginning of the evening. We got a notification on our pick-up that was at an address we had never heard of. We had asked to be picked up at the Vinpearl Landmark 81 Hotel when we booked. We were notified we were being picked up at 5:30 PM. When no one showed up we text our tour guide who was waiting at the unknown address. After 15 minutes we were informed that our hotel was “out of the pick up area”. This all happened right before the scheduled pick up time. We never knew this and assumed we would be picked up at our hotel. We were advised by the tour guide to get a personal taxi at our expense to the puppet show and he would meet us there. We got the taxi and arrived a few minutes before the show started but our tour guide was not there. At approximately 6:45 pm he showed up apologizing that the van with he and other customers got “caught in traffic”. After being 20 minutes late we finally got into the show. We had missed about half the show. After the puppet show we went back to the van and we were transported to the boat for our diner cruise. We were herded onto the boat where diner was immediately started. The boat left the harbor and we ate. The boat docked back at harbor approximately an hour later and we were immediately ushered off the boat back to the van. Never any time to walk and enjoy the boat. As we got into the van we were advised that they would not take us back to our hotel. We then had to get off the van and pay for a taxi back to our hotel. Understand the transportation was all a part of the price of the show and dinner cruise. Needless to say i would not recommend this event to anyone. To me it was a total disaster. I gave it a “2” simply for what we did see of the puppet show and quality of the food on the boat. Other than that totally terrible.
