This is definitely one for the books experience and a must try if you are in HCM. I think apart from the food which are great, what really elevated the experience is how kind and courteous the tourist guides are (which are by the working students - how amazing is that?). Kodus to you Tan, Winston, and Dani! I hope you all succeed in your studies and future careers! It was nice meeting all of you.

A MUST! This is the most artistically and musically athletic thing I have seen. The show is also interactive and cultural. I would want to watch this again when I go back. Get the most expensive ticket! They have some welcome refreshments

Great way to see Ho Chi Minh City! We booked the double-decker tourist bus through Klook and the price was cheaper than booking directly. The ride was comfortable and relaxing, and it’s even better in the evening when you can see the beautiful city lights.

This is an experience not to be missed. Our guide, Dragon King, was wonderful. He speaks perfect English and showed us a side of southern Vietnam we didn't know existed.
