Full description

This is a 50-minute experience in Hanoi. It is run by Tinny Travel and Service Company Limited, 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 pickup of your physical ticket at the office and Support from the local office for changes. It does not cover Hotel pick-up and drop off, 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 had an amazing time with our guide Anna and our driver Vinh. They were informative, kind, helpful and friendly. You couldn't wish for a better experience of Hanoi. We would highly recommend this team for a private half day tour. It was so special to share time with locals.

The quality of this performance is excellent. With live musicians and singers and the super unique water puppet performance, the 50min performance flies by! Memorable for all the good reasons

It is expensive, the ticket price is 100.000 vnd and it is easy to buy tickets at the entrance. Here you pay double. The show itself is really beautiful and amazing, highly recommend doing it when visiting Hanoi.

The puppet show was funny & entertaining. Well worth a visit if you’re in Hanoi. Organisation of tickets was poor. Couldn’t collect in advance from ticket office. Had to wait until 5 minutes before show to get from guide. I got my ticket after a lot of confusion, was rushed in & show had already started. Also noticed people buying at counter could choose seats & it felt like seats for GYG tickets were the last allocated after all the better seats were gone. Worth going but I would buy directly from ticket counter next time.

Skipping the queue but increasing the stress by 10 - unnecessarily, Nothing against the show that was nice as usual , but if I buy something online I am expecting at least the minimum guidance. Arrived at the Theater 10 min earlier than their request since you need to collect a paper ticket ;they don’t say this in the description …) - no info from the employees that are just barking at you like angry dogs , after 10 minutes asking around with just @this is agency it’s not us” inserts somebody finally is telling you to wait there and just two minutes before the show somebody is coming scanning

Het was makkelijker en goedkoper geweest dat we zelf onze tickets kochten. Anna was een goede gids die veel moeite deed maar haar Engels was moeilijk verstaanbaar waardoor er veel verloren ging

Espectáculo de marionetas de agua en Hanói: tradición curiosa, pero pensado para niños En nuestra visita a Hanói decidimos asistir al famoso espectáculo de marionetas de agua, uno de los atractivos culturales más recomendados de la ciudad. Cogimos solo la entrada al espectáculo, sin tour organizado. La representación cuenta, en vietnamita, distintas historias y leyendas tradicionales de Vietnam, acompañadas de música en directo. Es interesante ver la técnica y la puesta en escena, pero en general lo sentimos como un espectáculo más infantil que para adultos. Lo mejor: la originalidad de la téc

We had a fantastic tour with our guide Anna. She spoke amazing English and her knowledge of the sites was amazing. She adapted the tour to meet the needs of our family. The AC mini van waiting at all the exits was a welcome site after walking around in the summer heat as well as the water Anna kept supplying us with.
