this is a must see if you are in Hanoi . I am so grateful for this experience. One of the best shows I’ve ever seen. Not to mention that communication with the company was clear and good. They took us to the airport right after the shore for extra $15 and that worked out so well. I am grateful for this opportunity to experience the show and not to miss our airplane. We did take a private driver.
Great evening of entertainment in Hanoi

Are utilize the private transfer option to be driven directly to and from the show from my hotel. This saved time of not having to arrive too early and got me back quickly. Highly recommend this approach. Ation with the tour operator was excellent, driver was very good, and the show itself was spectacular, just as it is titled.
Great Communication and Show

Through my own fault what could have been disastrous turned out to be a great evening! I was late getting to my hotel for pickup but was told to stay where I was and the driver would come get me. The new pickup was a little confusing in the midst of the weekend festivities in Old Quarter, but the driver was relentless and managed to find me and then drive me 45 minutes to get to the show. I missed the buffet but made it in time for the show with a great seat to view and out of the rain. Afterwards, the driver was waiting on me to take me directly to my room. Great job all around!
