          Satisfied
          The puppet show is just amazing. Until now, I still couldn't figure out how they did it. Overall, it was simple but great. My main attraction was the cruise. I believe it would have been more fun if the cruise had lasted longer. The cruise time was too short.

          Great show but poor tour
          Show was amazing but the seat provided was really bad. Also, it allows to book for kids but under 5 is not allowed. Then he refunded our tickets and took cash for new seats. Overall this was the most unorganized tours we had.

          Great experience with a good guide :)
          It was an amazing experience. Our guide Ms. Hana was very kind, soft spoken and great to be with. I went with my family for the first time to Vietnam and this was one of the initial tours we took. I really enjoyed it and would recommend.

          Great evening
          It was an enjoyable, and certainly different, evening. The puppet show was not only entertaining, it gave an insight to the history and culture of Vietnam. I wish the volume of the singers and band could have been turned down. There were times I had to cover my ears it was so loud. The cruise was nice. Buffet dinner was typical buffet-some food cold, but had a wide variety of local cuisine. Guide was helpful and informative. We would recommend this evening to friends.

          Well Recommended for a great evening
          What a great evening we had, our guide Huy was excellent, his knowledge of Vietnam was brilliant, the puppet show was very good and the dinner cruise was lovely, the food was very good and the entertainment was excellent. It’s a must if visiting Hoi Chinh Min City. Thanks to Huy and his driver for a great evening, best of luck for your future Huy, you are a credit to the tour company, Vinny and Candy Liverpool England

          My experience
          Hana was so good. The water puppet show was good, but do not take the seat that was given to me as it was difficult to see. Then I shifted to the next seat. On the cruise even if we pay more can you give Ruby Hall as it was a happening place

          Excellent show marred by guide's transportation
          Show: marvelous! I never expected to see such an elegant and high-quality show! This show well depicted the past and present of Vietnam with circus. I strongly recommend to see this show. Guide: I can understand that there is no parking lot around the Opera house and that the guide took a taxi to meet me and take me to the Opera house. However, the thing is that HCMC is so congested. When I saw the show, it was congested (as usual) + main road blocked for an event + rush hour. Although the guide tried to calm me, it was frustrating that I was time-pressured and eventually came 10 minutes late. I strongly suggest the guide to meet a client 1 hour early to take this traffic congestion into account. It is better to go to the Opera house early than to be rushed and be late.

          5 Star Tour of Vietnam
          **A Magical 5-Star Experience with Open Smiles Travel!** I recently returned from a 15-day tour of Vietnam with Open Smiles Travel, and I can't recommend them enough! From start to finish, the entire trip was absolutely first class. Every detail was carefully planned and executed, ensuring that our experience was seamless and stress-free. We traveled from the north to the south of Vietnam, exploring incredible sights and learning so much about the country’s rich culture and history. Our guide was with us every step of the way, handling every aspect of the trip with professionalism and warmth. If you’re planning a trip to Vietnam, I highly recommend using Open Smiles Travel. Go for the 5-star experience—it’s truly worth every penny. Our journey was magical, and I’m already dreaming of my next adventure with them!

          To see !
          We booked without any ideas and that was a wonderful surprise. All the show is fantastic, the artist are exceptional. It’s a must in the Opera of Saigon

          Enjoyable evening for teens.
          We really enjoyed the puppet show. Our tour guide was a bit shy and I had to keep asking questions to have a tour. Overall, I enjoyed. Our server on the river boat was so nice. I felt bad pointing out she forgot to bring us one dish. They made it up right away, absolutely no issue, but she felt bad. I would do this again.

          Great night
          Our tour guide Hana stayed the whole tour and personally guided us through all stages . She helped make it an excellent tour. Hana picked us up exactly on time. The puppet show is not what you would expect it is really unique and well worth attending. We thoroughly enjoyed the dinner there was plenty of variety and was delicious. The band on our deck was very entertaining and interacted with the audience.All in all a great night highly recommended .

          Awesome experience
          Hana was very punctual, professional, and she provided great conversation. The show itself was amazing & entertaining. Since it's a local show, don't expect English, but you won't need it. It's comical and easy to follow, just sit back and enjoy. The boat dinner was really good as well, the transportation was very efficient. Overall great trip, once again, thanks Hana.

          Siagon River Dinner Cruise
          Had a fantastic dinner and cruise along the Saigon River. Superb boat with lots of room to move around, great upper deck area with bar and live music. The toilets on board are 5 star too!👍 First night of the Vietnam festival so we were lucky we got a front row seat on our boat to the fireworks and drone display in front of the city. Our tour guide was fantastic also and help us with organizing our lift back to our hotel at the end too!👏👏👏 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

          Great night in H Chi Minh!
          This trip is the perfect way to spend an evening in Ho Chi Minh. The puppet tour was an incredible experience of Vietnamese culture and the boat ride was a great way to see Saigon at night. The food was OK but having someone to take you to and from every sight in an air conditioned car was completely worth it!

        This trip is a must if you go to Ho Ch Min City. They were very helpful when booking and even picked us up at our hotel. The group is max 10 people, which was great since it gave us more time and opportunity to listen to what the tour guide was telling us. Our tour guide spoke near to perfect English and was very easy to understand. He kept everything interesting and very fun. We got offered free water during the ride there and the bus had AC, which you’ll need when it’s over 30C outside! We also booked bus tickets here for our visit to Mui Ne, he was very helpful and understanding with everything we wanted. I recommend you go here to book your adventures when visiting Ho Chi Min

        Khanh is very friendly to start with and makes you feel comfortable from the get go. We did the Indochina Queen Dinner Cruise to start with Khanh picked up from our hotel air-conditioned comfort on the way to the cruise. The cruise was great opportunity to see the city light up along the Saigon river. Perfect for grabbing fabulous photos.

        Day 2: Early morning start driven down to the Cu Chi tunnels and taken on a guided tour. Khanh is very knowledgeable and you can see that he is passionate about his job. This was an eye opening day on what the Vietnamese people had to endure through.
        We had a set menu lunch then driven back to our hotel.
        We finished our time with a water puppet show which was most enjoyable.

        Thankyou for a lovely couple of days Khanh.

        Our tour guide Kang, was friendly and well conversant with the history of the Cu Chi tunnel. He spoke good english. My husband and I were both amazed with the clever labyrinth of underground tunnels built there. It was such a unique experience for us. Thank you Kang and Open smile travel.
