Welcome to beautiful Vietnam. Wander through an ancient land filled with an unforgettable history. Experience the hospitality of local people, then strike a bargain in Ho Chi Minh City’s bustling markets and enjoy an unforgettable show – Water Puppets.
Come see a traditional Vietnamese folklore puppet show, enjoy the accompanying orchestral music, and experience Saigon by night from the river on a dinner cruise. This is the perfect evening activity!
The tour begins in the early evening at 18:00 PM with a cyclo trip from our office or your hotel in Ben Thanh Ward to the water-puppet theatre. Water puppetry is an ancient puppet tradition and an important part of Vietnamese culture. In water-puppetry, puppets are operated on the surface of a pool of water, while a Vietnamese orchestra of professional musicians, accompanied by an array of talented singers, provides background music for the performance. Enjoy watching the puppet show and learning more about Vietnamese rural life and folklore. Many of the programs, especially those involving the tales of day-to-day living, often have a humorous twist. After the show, we’ll take you to the Saigon River to board a junk for a cruise. Take the time here to admire the lights of Saigon city from the river. Dinner will be served on the cruise, which you can enjoy while listening to our selection of relaxing music. The Water Puppet Show-Cyclo & Dinner On Cruise ends around 21.30pm, when we’ll return you to your hotel.
