On the evening of your activity, you'll be picked up from your hotel in Ho Chi Minh City and taken to a traditional theatre where you'll attend one of Vietnam's most emblematic cultural events: a water puppet show.

After the show, you'll board a typical Vietnamese boat and set sail down the Saigon River for a peaceful evening cruise. 

While you take in the spectacular views of the Ho Chi Minh City skyline, you'll enjoy a different side of Vietnamese culture: its famed cuisine.

After an unforgettable evening's entertainment, the boat will return to the same dock and you'll be brought back to your hotel, about 4 hours and 30 minutes after the activity began.
