The water puppet show was unique and fascinating, offering a great introduction to traditional Vietnamese culture. The performance was lively, colorful, and accompanied by live music, which made it even more engaging even if you don’t fully understand the language.
After the show, the dinner cruise was a perfect way to relax. The atmosphere on the boat was lovely, with nice views of the city at night. The food was decent, with a variety of Vietnamese dishes to try. While it may not be a fine dining experience, it was still enjoyable and added to the overall experience.
Overall, this is a great combination for anyone who wants to experience local culture and enjoy a scenic evening in Ho Chi Minh City. Easy booking on Klook and well-organized. Worth trying! 🥰🙆♀️🥰

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.

Very fun way to see the whole city in a span of 1 hr. The heavy traffic coupled with the lack of wind breeze made the ride a bit unpleasant so I would bring a fan. Best the take the night bus if you want a visual tour of the city. Probably will be booking a 24 hr pass the next time I visit!

as a non-coffee lover, i booked this class because i want to learn different kinds of Vietnam coffees, and my favorite is salted ice coffee. Ms. La our instructor for this workshop is very kind, entertaining, and accommodating plus she is pretty! 😍 we enjoyed our coffee class and we get to met new people and met some fellow filipinas too! this coffee workshop experience is worth to try—I’ll rate this as 10000/10, for some non-coffee lover like me, don’t miss this workshop. it was really fun. Special thanks to Ms. La! hopefully we’ll comeback for your cooking class ✨🫶🏻🇻🇳🧿

We had such a wonderful and unforgettable experience aboard the Saigon Princess Cruise! The entire evening was filled with great food, beautiful music from the live band, and relaxing views of Saigon along the river.
The live band made the atmosphere lively and enjoyable, while the delicious food made our dining experience even more special. What we loved most was the peaceful and relaxing scenery as we sailed along the river, admiring the beautiful city lights and stunning views of Saigon at night.It was the perfect combination of good food, great entertainment, and breathtaking scenery. A lovely way to unwind, enjoy the moment, and create beautiful travel memories with wonderful companions.
Highly recommended for anyone visiting Ho Chi Minh City! If you want a relaxing evening with delicious food, live music, and beautiful riverside views, the Saigon Princess Cruise is definitely worth experiencing.
Thank you for such a memorable evening! We truly enjoyed every moment!

Had such a wonderful experience at Elite Cruise in Ho Chi Minh City! ❤️ The dinner cruise was such a beautiful and memorable way to celebrate my birthday. Everything was lovely—from the food and ambiance to the stunning views of Saigon at night.
A special shoutout to Quincy for being so accommodating and making sure we were well taken care of throughout the evening. 🥹 I truly felt so special and celebrated, and it made my birthday even more memorable!
Thank you, Elite Cruise, for such a lovely experience! Definitely a birthday I’ll remember. ✨
