Why we love it?

This evening tour in Hanoi offers a chance to experience the traditional Water Puppet Show at the Labor Culture House, a unique art form that originated in the Red River delta centuries ago, performed on water stages like ponds and paddy fields. After the show, you’ll board a cruise on the Sai Gon River to enjoy city views illuminated by twinkling lights, with the option to admire traditional junk boats during the two-hour journey. Dinner featuring local or Western cuisine is served on board, followed by dessert before returning to the dock. The itinerary includes hotel pickup and drop-off in District 1, a show ticket, and onboard amenities such as air conditioning, WiFi, and restrooms. While the tour passes by the Thang Long Water Puppet Theatre, admission there is not included. This experience suits travelers interested in cultural performances and a relaxed evening cruise combining entertainment and dining in Hanoi’s vibrant atmosphere.
