A Must-Do Night in Ho Chi Minh City

5.00This tour was such a fun experience! Even though it was raining, they picked us up in a cyclo and provided covers for both us and the bikes, so we stayed comfortable the entire time. Honestly, if it’s raining during your tour, I highly recommend choosing the cyclo—it made the experience even more memorable. We went during rush hour traffic, and it was incredible being immersed in the energy of the city while still feeling completely safe. Our guide, Vin, was fantastic—friendly, knowledgeable, and full of interesting information that helped us learn so much throughout the evening. The water puppet show was a must-see and one of the highlights of the tour. Afterward, we enjoyed dinner on the boat, which was included in the price. The food was delicious, there was a live band, people dancing and celebrating, and the drinks were great as well. I would highly recommend this experience. It offered so much value and was one of the most enjoyable activities we did. Just don’t forget to bring cash to tip the cyclo drivers—they definitely deserve it!
