The good tickets & entry passes sell out in season and the great ones go first. Below: the 8 to hold early, what each includes and how they differ.
See Hanoi’s famous 50-minute water puppet show with reserved tickets, live Vietnamese music, traditional stories, seat choices, and optional audio guide.
“The ticket collection was easy and the guide at the ticket office was very helpful. The show was very good and gave a taste of traditional Vietnamese storytelling and music. It was worth paying the extra for seats at the front.”
See Hanoi’s 1,000-year-old water puppetry at Thang Long Theatre, with skip-the-line tickets, hotel delivery, and optional audio guide.
“Loved it. One of the best shows I’ve seen. It would be good to make more obvious the info about audio in your own language. This would have made it a 10/10!”
See Hoi An’s 400-year story through a spectacular outdoor show, mini performances, themed villages, temples, lights, and music.

See Hanoi’s traditional water puppets with a priority ticket, live music, Vietnamese stories, and a one-hour show at Thang Long Theatre.
“Eventually got the tickets but it was a madhouse and if our tour guide had not been with us I don’t think we would have found them. Go to the theatre yourself and buy tickets there.”
Review of Hanoi’s Thang Long Water Puppet Theater, with ticket options, seating advice, show details, value, and booking warnings.
“Tour was booked for 5:20, tour operator contacts me saying that it was sold out and if 6:30 would be ok. I arrive for the 6:30 show and their contact has tickets for the 5:20 show. Ended up having to buy my own tickets for the next 8:00 show. Neither Viator or the tour operator was of any help. The tour operators use WhatsApp so that Viator cannot see what is going on. Insist that the tour operators use the Viator means of communication.”
See Ho Chi Minh City from Bitexco Tower’s 49th-floor Skydeck, with fast lifts, 360-degree views, landmark displays, and sunset access.
“Good overview of the expansive city and surrounding including areas both visited and those not visited.”
See Hanoi’s Thang Long water puppets bring legends, farming, fishing, and village life to the stage in a one-hour cultural show.
“Cheaper and better tickets if you just arrive and book them on the day in person”
Pick a bay, a kitchen, a tunnel or a road.
