An eclectic city by day, Ho Chi Minh City buzzes with energy and vitality as dusk falls. Our evening tour of Ho Chi Minh samples its unique and colourful culture with a water puppet performance. Then it’s off to one of the city’s best restaurants for a tantalising dinner followed by a visit to one of the city’s vivacious jazz clubs where Vietnamese and foreign musicians can regularly be seen jamming into the early hours.

Your Itinerary
Depart in the early evening for Ho Chi Minh’s centre for a dazzling water puppet performance. This uniquely northern-Vietnamese art form depicts scenes from rural life and tales from national history. Continue to Hoa Tuc Restaurant where you enjoy the delights of exotic Vietnamese cuisine for dinner. After your meal (and as an optional extra) you may be lucky enough to catch a performance at the Saigon Opera House*. Its architectural style is influenced by the flamboyant style of the French Third Republic with the façade shaped like the Petit Palais (built in Paris in in the same year, 1911). From the restaurant stroll down Dong Khoi street past iconic landmarks such as the Saigon Opera House, the superbly designed former Hotel De Ville and the Rex Hotel where the daily military press briefings (disparagingly dubbed ‘The Five o’ clock Follies’) took place each day during the American War. Time to let your hair down… We head for one of the city’s lively jazz clubs where Vietnamese and foreign musicians can regularly be seen jamming together long into the night. Please note that drinks are on your own account. At the end of a scintillating evening, depart back to your hotel
