5.00We really loved the performance, a traditional water puppet show accompanied by live traditional music. The puppetry was amazing! I can't quite wrap my head around how the performers do it. And the music was beautiful, and you could tell that the musicians/voice performers really enjoy their craft. My only tiny nitpick is that the speakers could have been turned down just a hair.
Viator great service

4.00The pickup of the tickets was more or less seamless and the show is pretty engaging. The visuals, vocals, and puppet mastery are on full display for this hour long show. However, one drawback to this show is that there are no English translations once the show starts out. So it becomes very interpretive and non native speakers will have to guess what they believe the story is.
