Where does the tour start?

The tour starts at your hotel. Pick-up takes place between 5:30 PM and 6:00 PM — you'll need to provide your hotel address when booking.

Do I need to print my ticket?

A mobile booking confirmation should be sufficient, but having a printed copy as backup is always a sensible precaution.

Is this suitable for children?

Yes. Children aged two and under travel free of charge. If you are bringing a second child, adult fare applies. A maximum of one free child per accompanying adult is permitted.

What kind of food is served at dinner?

Dinner is at a traditional Vietnamese restaurant. Specific dishes may vary, but expect southern Vietnamese cuisine. If you have dietary requirements, contact us before booking.

How long does the full evening last?

Pick-up begins at 5:30 PM and drop-off is between 9:00 and 9:30 PM, so plan for roughly three and a half to four hours in total.

Is the water puppet show conducted in English?

The performance itself is a visual art form and does not require language comprehension. Your local guide is on hand throughout the evening to provide context.
