Full description

This is a 1-hour experience in Hanoi. It is run by Asia Travel Legend Company Vietnam, an operator we book with directly rather than through a reseller, which is why we can hold your place with them before we treat your booking as final.

Sumo has six fifteen-day tournaments a year, in Tokyo in January, May and September, Osaka in March, Nagoya in July and Fukuoka in November; tickets for the top division from about 15:00 are the hard ones to get. Outside tournaments, morning practice at a stable can be watched with a guide who knows which stables allow it and the strict etiquette. Kabuki at the Kabukiza in Ginza sells single-act tickets on the day for an hour of the four-hour programme, with an English earphone guide. Baseball at the Tokyo Dome or Koshien is a summer evening with the crowd's synchronised chants.

The price covers Admission ticket to Thang Long Water Puppet show and Program flyer with details of the program. Everything included is listed in full on this page; if something is not on that list, assume it is not in the price.

Asia Travel Legend Company Vietnam sends the meeting point and time by email as soon as the booking is confirmed. We need at least one day's notice, and we confirm the date with Asia Travel Legend Company Vietnam before treating your booking as final. If they cannot take your date we tell you and refund you rather than leave you waiting.

Includes

  • Admission ticket to Thang Long Water Puppet show

really good use of water and wooden puppets. they really make them come alive and flow smoothly. absolutely no idea what the story was, but something to do with fish maybe??? 🤔 Also if Ur tall, the legroom in the theatre is appalling. I had to sit side on. Oh, and I only gave a 3 for value in here, cos I paid over £10 for VIP seating, and it's only £5.50 on the door. I was in row 3, and got no extras included.

Boring, I fell asleep. Totally hyped up as a thing to do. It is utter rubbish, save your money and go for a nice coffee somewhere.

Great traditional show, interesting folk stories and amazing live instruments and singing. The seating is staggered so doesn’t matter where you sit as you still get a good view.

This was really good! I didn't really know what to expect but I really enjoyed myself. I went for the VIP tickets which meant I was front row and centre. I didn't get wet at all and had a completely unobstructed view of the show. There is an audio guide available for purchase on the spot so you can understand what is going on in the story. Would 100% go for it again.

I enjoyed it a lot. The 50 minutes are segmented in approximately 15 little presentations, one being for example a dragon dance or another one beingkids playing in water. I didn’t take the audio guide. Still, it was fun to watch and entertaining.

Good experience. Would have been better if they have slides in English to give us better understanding.

My husband and I had no clue what the story of the show was. They should have an interpreter. We walked out.

Le spectacle est à voir. C’est vraiment très typique. Je recommande. Par contre, rien ne sert de prendre des billets au prix intermédiaire. Nous étions mal placés et pas même ensemble alors que nous n'étions que 3. Nous aurions été mieux placés avec des billets premier prix. Bon spectacle.
