Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product
Stop At: TNK Travel, Ho Chi Minh City 700000 Vietnam
Pick you up from the hotel for first stop and enjoy a leisurely ride on cyclos through the busy street of Saigon in the late evening, getting yourself into the Saigon atmosphere.
Next, enjoy the unique art of 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 being the stage. A traditional Vietnamese orchestra provides background music accompaniment. Singers with origin in north Vietnam 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 are easy to understand. The shows typically last for one hour and offer a colorful way to enjoy an ancient tradition.
Then, continue to the harbor for a dinner cruise, enjoy the city lights and panoramic views of Ho Chi Minh City . Enjoy sumptuous Vietnamese cuisine on this magical dinner cruise aboard a traditional-style Dragon Boat or the Modern Style Boat (depend on the day)

This is a great way of night entertainment. Including the dinner cruise. I think it's a must if u in saigon.
Puppet show is very traditional and the cyclo ride was amazing through Saigon traffic. The dinner river cruise was fun as well.
This was a wonderful experience and the dinner was excellent.
