Itinerary
- 118.00: Pick up at your hotel to start the trip . 18.30: Enjoy the unique art of water puppet show, a traditional art form closely connected with the long-standing spiritual life of the Vietnamese people. It is performed in a pool of water with the water surface being the stage. The puppeteers stand behind a screen and control the puppets using long bamboo rods and string mechanism hidden beneath the water surface. A traditional Vietnamese orchestra provides background music accompaniment. Singers with origin in North Vietnam sing songs which tell the story being acted out by the puppets (are carved out of wood). Although the authentic shows are exclusively in Vietnamese, the tales depict rural life in villages and are easy to understand. The shows typically last for one hour and offer a colorful way to enjoy an ancient tradition..

- lemonc2270 contributionsCu Chi Tunnel half day tripThis is my second time to Cu Chi tunnel, this time was a wonderful experience because of our excellent tour guide Kay. Kay is a responsible and enthusiastic person giving us the whole picture of Vietnamese war and how VC made those tunnels to survive and fight with US army. I really recommend this trip, especially with tour guide Kay with TNK travel. 第二次造訪古芝地道，這裡是越戰時期的產物，越共為了抵擋美軍，不僅躲入叢林，而且更進一步在叢林裡打造長達兩百多公里的地下世界。裡頭有各種機能，讓人們能在這裡如常生活。但是，光是要進入狹窄的地道本身就需要強大的毅力。我們在地道裡爬了80公尺便氣喘吁吁，難以想像當時的越南人如何熬過來。Written 27 January 2020

The Cyclo ride was a great experience, slow enough that you can take in the atmosphere and not miss any thing along the way. The water puppets was a unique experience and although in vietnamese much of the short stories were entertaining and some quite comical, 45min and worth the time.
Dinner cruise very up market to what we expected, the waiting staff very responsive to dietry needs, fast service and the food was plentifull although aimed to please the masses rather than local tasts. No complaints as we enjoyed it all. The views and lights along the river are relaxing, some lovely light entertaining topped it all off. Special thanks to Van, she was an excellent host.🤗
