À Ố Show bamboo circus at Saigon Opera House: live folk music, 17 instruments, and stunning acrobatics in a one-hour performance.
“The show was fun and different, kind of like Cirque de Soleil. It was expensive by Vietnamese standards but the same price as booking directly with the venue. Welcome drink of tea/water was included. The seats themselves were great, even though we booked the cheapest ones.”

See Hanoi’s Thang Long water puppet show: 1 hour of live music and legend-based skits on water, with $8 tickets and easy pickup.
“The show itself is quite nice and even without speaking the language you can guess at what the story is trying to convey. However, buying a ticket locally is certainly better - we spent 24 euros (730k) by booking on here, rather than 150k each on a ticket (5 euros) - which was essentially money…”
