What to expect

See Saigon in a different light after the sun goes down, tickets to a popular Water Puppet Show, and finally an elegant dinner cruise. Your tour starts with a pick up from your hotel in District 1. If your hotel is not in District 1, meet up with the rest of the tour group at the meet up location. Then head to the Golden Dragon Theater to enjoy the Water Puppet Show. Using the water as the stage, water puppetry is a unique art form considered as one of the most important facets of Vietnamese cutlure. Complemented by Vietnamese instruments, the Water Puppet Show is a fantastic glimpse into the performing arts culture of Vietnam. After the show, transfer to the cruise boarding point for your evening dinner cruise. Aboard the cruise ship, enjoy a traditional Vietnamese set meal while enjoying the breathtaking views of the city. See the glimmering lights on the reflections on the water as you cruise along Saigon river - a fantastic way to end your evening.

Review for: Saigon Evening Tour

I honestly don’t think I could thank Davis and the driver enough for this experience. From the moment we were picked up, they made us feel genuinely special and went above and beyond to ensure everything was perfect for our evening. The water puppet show was incredibly entertaining and such a unique cultural experience, while the cruise itself was peaceful, relaxing, and paired with absolutely delicious food. Everything flowed so smoothly and felt thoughtfully organised from start to finish. It ended up being such a memorable evening and one we’ll be talking about for a long time.

Review for: Saigon Evening Tour

We enjoy the whole trip. Our driver and guide picked us up at the hotel in District 3 at 5.50pm and we go straight to the water puppet theatre. We arrive at 6.05pm and still have time to relax before the show starts at 6.30pm. The show ends at 7.15pm and we rushed to the wharf to catch our cruise sailing at 7.45pm. We had our buffet dinner and went upstairs to the open area for picture. We return around 9pm.

Review for: Saigon Evening Tour

Our tour guide was Mien so lovely and made sure everything ran smoothly from pick-up to drop off. We booked this trip purely for the dinner cruise, but I surprisingly loved the water puppet show. It was a great cultural experience that made me so curious about the mechanics. The cruise was lovely with the city night lights. And the food was fantastic. We were super full afterwards. They also had good performances on the cruise. I recommend this tour if you have an evening free for calm activities.

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.

The water puppet show was amazing! So many talented people doing the live music and puppeteering. The cruise was great too, dinner was served promptly. Our guide Sunny was super friendly and very attentive, would definitely recommend others still on the fence to go for the tour.

Two amazing activities in one tour. The water puppets were charming and entertaining. The River cruise with dinner served amazing food and great service combined with the city lights. Emma our guide was very nice and was on hand to ensure we had a great night.

We truly enjoyed the puppet show, something special. The cruise was great, lovely night view. Food was good too. We booked for 3, a friend wasn't feeling well didn't go, the crew packed her share of food for us to bring back. Great service.

Puppet show is very interesting, know you won't understand a word, but you can follow the story. Dinner on the river cruise was outstanding, even if it's a bit rushed.
