      Enchanting
      Frances_C, Mar 2024
      Well organised for picking up the tickets. Plenty of leg room at seats for us 1.78m and 1.84m Completely enchanting event, musicians were superb.
      Traditional show
      Marko_B, Jan 2024
      Very traditional and nice show, though a bit touristy. We were amazed by the performance. Though it is in Vietnamese, there is not so much dialogue and you can understand what is going on from the context of the show. Excellent live music on traditional Vietnamese instruments is performed during the show.
      Worth purchasing tickets in advance

      When you arrive at the theatre, the person you will pickup your ticket from is to the side of the ticket booth. Don't stand in the regular line to pickup your tickets.
      Great show

      Must-see for once
      Andre_H, Oct 2023
      Fun and very interesting experience for once. Wouldn‘t go a second time, but definitely a must-see for once.
      Unique and fun experience
      Cheryl_L, Aug 2023
      The puppet show was fun and like nothing I’ve seen before. Definitely would recommend going! Having a ticket in advance made it easier. The only challenge was finding the person I was meeting to get the ticket. Was standing in an inconspicuous place with no sign or anything to indicate she was the contact and didn’t seem to be actively watching for people looking for her.
      Outstanding cultural experience
      neil_h, Jun 2023
      Had a lovely night -the theatre is set beautiful area worth taking your time to walk around before and after. The show itself was quite amazing to see - and hear as the musicians are all quite amazing too. Also worth getting the unit that explains what is happening in your own language for you too- think it was about $3. Only negative the night was the number of tourists being inconsiderate and filming on their blocking the view of others.
      Childhood memories!

      I remember watching a Vietnamese water puppet show when I was a child in London over 25 years ago, it was wonderful seeing the show. Wonderful singing and music, not to mention the mesmerising but funny puppetry.
      Nice show
      Valentine_L, Mar 2023
      It was a nice show, telling stories about rural and royal life. The musicians were really great and the puppet masters very skilled.
      Unique must do experience
      Georgina_R, Dec 2022
      Great show, really friendly tour operator who helped us get last minute tickets, despite the show being full. Would definitely recommend
      The Puppet show was great and it was unique
      Sekar_B, Aug 2022
      The Show was great though we didn't get English translation still we enjoyed it. However this company Viator charged 100% more than actual charge . i fully understand they need to have some cut on the charges . The charge is only 200K in VND so 4 tickets it costs only 48 dollar where the company charged me 108 dollars. Pl book directly and enjoy the show
      Skip this and buy the tickets yourself
      Valentina_F, May 2022
      I want to start this off by saying this review is exclusively about the services of the "skip the line" part of the package - not the Water Puppet Show itself which was great. I bought this package to try and simplify our scheduling and to ensure that we got great seats however what we got would have been the same as if we just showed up and purchased the lowest tiered tickets ourselves. We received no instructions on how to retrieve our tickets in advance and when we were showed up we were put into the general admissions line when we were expecting to be able to skip the line as is guaranteed in this purchase - I mean it's even in the name. After at least a 15 minute wait when we finally got to the box office there were no tickets reserved for us. I purchased a tier to get the best seats available and instead was given the lowest tiered tickets. Basically I paid $51 USD for two tickets that amounted to under $10 total and I did not receive any of the services laid out in this booking. They also won't give me a refund because apparently it's my fault for not retrieving the tickets even though I received no instructions and was never contacted by the seller at all. Do not pay for these, just get the tickets yourself and save the money since in this case spending extra money does not seem to save any time or effort. I feel scammed.
      A very entertaining evening
      Fran_B, Feb 2020
      This show came highly recommended to us and the show did not disappoint. Very interesting to watch the puppets entertain us. So glad we attended this show!
      Tolle Veranstaltung. Muss man gesehen haben.
      Matthias_D, Apr 2023
      Buchung und Kartenreservierung hat super geklappt. Die VIP-Plätze waren top und auch der schnelle Einlass ohne lange Warteschlange war sehr angenehm.
