Itinerary

  • Start of Tour (6:00PM)

    Pick up at your hotel to start the trip.
  • Water Puppet Show (6:30PM)

    Enjoy the unique art of a 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. The puppeteers stand behind a screen and control the puppets using long bamboo rods and string mechanisms hidden beneath the water's surface. A traditional Vietnamese orchestra provides accompanying background music. Singers originating from North Vietnam sing songs which tell the story being acted out by the puppets which 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 colourful way to enjoy an ancient tradition.
  • Dinner Cruise on the Saigon River (7:15PM)

    Experience Saigon’s nightlife and reach the harbour for a dinner cruise on the river. Observe the beautiful scenery of the city while enjoying Vietnamese cuisine on a traditional-style boat.
  • End of Tour (9:30PM)
