Full description
This is a 50-minute experience in Hanoi. It is run by DragonflyCruise, 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 Tickets for the Hanoi Water Puppet Show in advance, Show program flyer available in your language, Easy pick up Physical ticket at office and Support from Local office for changes. It does not cover Hotel pick-up and drop off and In case of sudden National Mourning, so budget for those separately. Everything included is listed in full on this page; if something is not on that list, assume it is not in the price.

We need at least one day's notice, and we confirm the date with DragonflyCruise before treating your booking as final.

Traveler Reviews
We had a wonderful trip, this was very well organised, timed and well planned, food was great. The guide( Duyen) was wonderful, highly professionally very friendly and knew how to manage crowd without hurrying.. 5 stars to her..😊 Highly recommended
Defo should be on your list on things to do it Hanoi. Really well spent hour. No need to book in advance there was loads of space.
Super Show - very unique and a must see when you are in Hanoi
The puppet show was very nice, surprisingly funny, beautiful and with a historical meaning. I advise you to search for it in AI before seeing to understand better. Getting the tickets in a tourism agency not far from the theater was nice, because we skip the line for buying tickets. If you are in doubt, just go for it, it’s a short (50 min duration) show and totally worth it.
Booking was easy and instant confirmation. You just need to meet with the person at the venue 10mins before the show. Thankful for them that I was able to get the best seat and view for the puppet show.
It’s such a great experience to book while in Hanoi!
Amazing - loved the vibe. For anyone that purchases a ticket through an online platform you only need to be there 10 minutes earlier to the show starting as the tickets will be handed to you by a person in the waiting area next to the ticket booth.
It was wonderful the live music and singing was amazing
Great experience - the booker was quick and helpful! The show was cultural and educating, English audio guide is a must!
The show was great, we especially loved that it was live music! Definitely worth visiting.
The show itself is excellent, creative and a real privilege to watch. But it was chaotic trying to get tickets, and the performance is marred by people waving their phones around recording the show. It was distracting, frequently blocked our view, and annoying. I’d like to see phones banned, or they could only allow their use in the first five minutes or something. Also, it seemed like every seat was a VIP seat. We paid more for our tickets, but ended up about 10 or 11 rows back. Still, the puppets, the craft and the music are a fabulous privilege to witness.
