Great show. Poor customer service by the operator

4.00We had this show booked for 8 PM on Sep 2. Around 2 PM on the day of the show, the operator says the 8 PM show was cancelled by the theater and that they would offer alternate times. I was on my flight to Hanoi and didn't see this message until I landed at 4PM. I chose the 6:30 PM because I could not have seen this show on any other day during my trip. Sep 2 is a very busy day because it is the Vietnamese independence day and the Old Quarter area is overcrowded and gridlocked with many street closures. The operator should have shared these details with us so that we could plan accordingly. They did not. They claim to offer convenient ticket pickup but it is anything but convenient on days like Sep 2. It is impossible for tourists to get to the theater on time because of the crowd. The operator left our tickets with the security guard and left. We wasted 30 mins or more within one block of the theater and got to the show late even though we were only a 5 min walk away from the theater. Overall this was a great show and worth it but this operator is not very helpful or responsive to the needs of tourists who come from other countries and may not necessarily know how things might be in the main areas on important days such as the Vietnamese Independence Day.
Bad customer service

1.00I bought the wrong activity and they didn’t help me. I talk to the customer service the second before I booked the activity, it doesn’t have sense that I can’t get a refund.
Makes seeing the water puppet show super easy
