Ho Chi Minh City water puppet show and Saigon River dinner cruise with District 1 pickup, culture, music, city lights for $68.
“The guide I think was only starting out, his English wasn't too great so there was a little language barrier/struggle but he did really try. The water puppet show was fantastic to watch! The dinner cruise was a bit of a let down. The food was mediocre/poor, it was buffet style so some of it…”
Enjoy Ho Chi Minh City’s night lights from the Saigon River with a 3-hour dinner cruise, transfers, and Vietnamese buffet plus live music.

Short cyclo or scooter tour in Ho Chi Minh City, then a Saigon River dinner cruise with buffet and live traditional dance.
“Highlight of the tour was the 60 minute cyclo transportation to the dinner cruise.

The dinner on the cruise was average but plentiful. Traditional Vietnamese band, singers…”

Phu Quoc sunset cruise plus night squid fishing with dinner on board, including pickup and basic gear for about $14.
“We were picked up from our hotel and dropped off at the boat on time. However, people who didn't use their transport service kept coming a few at a time. By the time the last stragglers arrived we were already 30 minutes late. Then they try to sell you overpriced clams, mussels and snails for…”

See Saigon after dark with a traditional water puppet show and a buffet dinner cruise on the Saigon River.
“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…”
