A very beautiful experience of a little-known Vietnamese art. The dexterity of the puppeteers is astonishing, and the musical and sung accompaniment is of very good quality
Great show and the music was the best part! Engaging and a cool reprieve from the heat. Worth checking out!
Should have been more organised for pre ticket collection and "VIP" skip the line service. Not enough info. The show itself when using the additionally paid for ear audio translators was great. But when paying extra for a VIP described service, definitely dont expect to be sitting 4th row behind heaps of people and queuing and waiting without instructions or info on how to enter the show etc.
Lovely show, very original for Vietnamese culture. Recommended for everyone, easy access.
Wonderful show, well worth it money. Easy to follow the story line but can get the head phones if you want to.
What a fantastic exposure to folk music and puppetry! Just wish with the $16 ticket we would have gotten a program and possibly offered the headphones for translations. But overall without these we got the story as we have been in country for many weeks now. The views are a bit blocked by tall people in front of you, but we made do. No worried if you are in the A row not seeing the activity on the water. Definitely a must do recommendation while in Hanoi!
I thoroughly enjoyed the puppet theatre performance and learning about the history behind how it began. It is a wonderful tradition and a source of real pride for the traditional rice farming communities.
Viator doesn’t make the tickets available through the app. Luckily someone who worked at the theater figured out who we were. Activity was very enjoyable but lack of physical proof of payment was a bit stressful.
Great experience! Easy to get to. Someone was waiting with our tickets when we arrived. Would definitely go again!
I was bored for 50 minutes. It's nice at first but 10 minutes would be enough. Otherwise tickets are half the price directly at the theater and you just have to get there 30 minutes in advance: the queue is not long. I must admit, however, that the reserved positions were well placed in the centre of the theatre. It's more of a children's show, even though I've seen a lot of them fall asleep.
