Pick-up | Start of the Evening Journey

MSA’s tour guide and vehicle will pick you up at your hotel in Ho Chi Minh City, starting the journey to discover a glittering Saigon as the city lights up.

This is an experience combining traditional arts with the modern beauty of the city along the Saigon River.

Early Evening | Enjoying Water Puppetry Art

The first stop is the Water Puppet Show – a unique folk art form closely linked to the cultural and spiritual life of Vietnamese people for centuries.

On the water surface used as a unique stage, wooden puppets are skillfully controlled using a system of bamboo poles and hidden strings beneath the water.

Accompanying the performances are a traditional orchestra and Northern folk melodies, vividly recreating Vietnamese countryside life.

The program lasts about one hour, offering you the opportunity to experience one of the most distinctive traditional art forms of Vietnam.

Evening | Cruise & Dinner on the Saigon River

After the performance, you will be transferred to the harbor to begin dinner on a cruise boat.

Within the atmosphere of a traditionally styled boat, you will enjoy a Vietnamese buffet while cruising along the Saigon River.

As the city lights up, the scenery along both riverbanks with iconic landmarks and lights reflecting on the water will offer a whole new perspective on Ho Chi Minh City – both vibrant and romantic.

End of the Journey

After dinner on the cruise, the vehicle and tour guide will take you back to your hotel, concluding the journey with complete experiences of Saigon’s nightlife culture and beauty.

From the culturally rich water puppetry art to the poetic ambiance on the Saigon River, every moment contributes to a memorable evening in the heart of the city.
