- ITINERARY - 

06:00 PM: Pick up at your hotel to start the trip.

06:30 PM: Enjoy the unique art of a water puppet show, a traditional art form closely connected with the long-standing spiritual life of the Vietnamese people. It is performed in a pool of water with the water surface being the stage. The puppeteers stand behind a screen and control the puppets using long bamboo rods and string mechanisms hidden beneath the water's surface. A traditional Vietnamese orchestra provides accompanying background music. Singers originating from North Vietnam sing songs that tell the story being acted out by the puppets which are carved out of wood. Although the authentic shows are exclusively in Vietnamese, the tales depict rural life in villages and are easy to understand. The shows typically last one hour and offer a colorful way to enjoy an ancient tradition.

07:15 PM: Be taken to experience Saigon’s nightlife and reach the harbor for a dinner cruise on the river. Observe the beautiful scenery of the city while enjoying Vietnamese cuisine on a traditional-style boat.
