Had a 5.15pm booking which got changed to 4pm with little warning when we were on other activities, tried to get there on time but missed 1/3 of the show. No compensation or alternative offered by either Viator or the operator, very bad customer service

Horrible experience! They let people late halfway thru. Audience was rude, held phones up with no regard for people behind them. Performance was nice; kid oriented and historical. But management needs to do better keeping the audience orderly.

Definitely a very good cultural experience in Hanoi. Fun for children and adults. Not too long a show with some funny bits. Highly recommend if you are in Hanoi and looking for something different to do in the evenings!
