2 Shows in Ho Chi Minh City to Build a Day Around

1.Ho Chi Minh City by Night including Water Puppet Show and Dinner on cruise

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 59 reviews · from $82Our pick

See Vietnamese folklore brought to life at the Golden Dragon Water Puppet Theater, then enjoy a buffet dinner aboard a two-hour Saigon River cruise. Your English-speaking guide and private vehicle handle the evening, with hotel pickup and return included.

“The water puppets are something unique to Viet Nam and fun to see. Some sort of list of the little episodes in English would have been useful. The dinner was mediocre and the "cruise" was kind of a waste - you don't see much. Having someone pick us up at the hotel and facilitate our activities was useful.”

“Really enjoyed the puppets, so well done and the cruise was restful & food very nice ) we could not eat all of it.”
