Cruise through the neon-lit streets of Ho Chi Minh city by 3-wheeled cyclo, take in a mesmerising performance by professional puppeteers, and board a ship for an elegant dinner cruise around the harbour on this private evening excursion in Vietnam's bustling capital city.

Meet up with your guide outside your Ho Chi Minh City hotel and take a short ride to the tour office, where you can transfer from spacious shuttle to charming cyclo. With 2 wheels in the front, this intriguing pedal-powered contraption is the ideal way to cruise around the city with your private guide to lead the way. Wind past the colourful stalls of Ben Thanh Market, check out the colonial-era architecture of City Hall, and zip to a nearby performance space for an entertaining water puppet show.

Watch meticulously choreographed puppets dance above the water's surface while traditional folk music plays overhead as this unique art form takes shape. Afterwards, catch a lift to Bach Dang Port for ample photo opportunities of the city's skyline reflected in the water. When you're ready for dinner, climb aboard a waiting ship and enjoy a scenic cruise accompanied by a tasty meal of freshly prepared Vietnamese specialities. Listen to folk music as you eat and then return to port to catch a ride back to your hotel.
