    A must visit if u are in HCM
    Amazing tour where we learnt about the history of the war and cu chi tunnel network. Tom, our guide was extremely well informed. He delivered the tour in an honest, yet pleasant way. We did some other war related tours in the past and sometimes the guide set a really heavy tone. Tom was amazing. He presented the history and hardship, yet took on a lighter note that made the whole tour enjoyable.

    Experience the Chu Chi tunnels
    Wonderful history lesson about the war and the damage done to Vietnam. Our guide was really knowledgeable. Very real life experience for anyone to see what it is like living in tunnels. So sad that this war ever happened.

    The Mekong Delta’s Star Guide!
    Levi is a brilliant mix of insight and fun! His 1-day Mekong Delta tour dazzled with snake wine tastings, delectable local dishes (elephant ear fish, spring rolls, sticky rice, tropical fruits), and stories that brought the delta’s culture to life. From coconut candy demos to paddling tranquil canals, Levi’s humor and knowledge kept us hooked. His warmth and attention (even to dietary needs!) made the day feel personal. More than a guide, Levi is a cultural bridge—book him for a day packed with laughter, bold flavors, and unforgettable memories! **Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ – Vietnam’s finest!**

    Wonderful trip highlighting Ho Chi Minh City at it's best.
    A wonderful trip. Picked up by Tom & Jerry the driver, the car had air-conditioning and was immaculate. The puppet show was amazing, a real treat. The cruise and meal was also fantastic. It was our last night and it made the trip to Vietnam very special

Genuinely, this may be one of the best things I've seen abroad. it's such an immersive and fun watch, superb energy from the cast and producers and honestly it looks amazing. No other way to describe it. I'm 20 and I felt my inner child come out. The show is insanely colourful, engaging and kind of touches you in an intimate way. I actually felt like tearing up a bit.

Entire time I'm wondering how on earth they are controlling the puppets so intricately.

Front row seats get splashed a bit so it's genuinely a 10/10 experience.

The entire play is in Vietnamese, but good art works wonder through language barriers. Through the puppet movements, settings and the musicians/singers emotions you'll be able to understand whats happening.

The chairs were a little tiny, but its a short performance (~45 mins) so its not too bad. Theatre is air-conditioned.

If you're in the first row there are some segments that splashes water outwards, if thats a concern.

As a student of acting and theatre, rarely have I seen a show that completely blows me out of the water - pun intended 😂

This show was amazing! Ran for 45 minutes or so and it’s all thrilling choreography, storytelling, comedy, and spectacle ✨

Best water puppet show in South Vietnam. Would absolutely recommend to anyone who hasn’t seen it or is having a first visit to Saigon or Vietnam!

My friend wasn't keen, thought it was more for children, but hey, I'm a big kid and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Very entertaining and the musicians on either side of the stage seemed to be having a blast. It's only 45minutes and easy to get to. Go for it!!

Very talented performers delivering inspirational story through authentic Vietnamese traditional puppet show. Even in original Vietnamese language it is easy for anyone to understand the meaning of it. Highly recommended to visit and learn more about the local culture.
Recommend book in advance as the show was full.

This package is very worth it. I and my mother had a very great time. The puppet show is very entertaining and cool. Even though it was in Vietnamese, we still get the flow of the show because they provide an English pamphlet, which showed the flow of program. The river cruise with buffet dinner was so amazing!! First of all, the food is very delicious like very very delicious! The river cruise is great too because we got to take a picture in one of the picturesque spots in Ho Chi Minh, which is the same with the picture in the postcards being sold in the Saigon Central Post Office. We really had a great time especially because of our smart and very helpful tour guide, David. He is really informative. He tells us lots of trivia and information about the things and places here in Ho Chi Minh City. Overall, I and my mother really had a great time. I recommend availing this tour. Thank you, David and company!

The show was amazing, good length, fun activity for anyone. Easy to follow, great humor in it.
Was annoying that people were putting their phones above their head to film it though, really disrupted the experience
