For generations of Vietnamese people, puppetry has brought stories to life for the Vietnamese people with creativity and passion. Serenity Puppet Tour was founded with a simple idea: to take you back to the roots of these storytellers and their puppets. With every destination, we connect you not just with the places you visit, but with the stories that shape them.
Join us on this journey and discover the world through a different lens – one where every moment is a chance to connect, learn, and be inspired.
Travel to the heart of a vibrant Vietnamese village where puppetry is not just a performance but a way of life. Instead of watching from a distant stage in the city, you’ll have the unique opportunity to craft your own puppet, join the villagers as part of the performance, and enjoy an up-close view of the show with an English voice-over created exclusively for you.
Get on the bicycle and tour around the beautiful countryside for the peaceful views of the village. Then try on traditional Vietnamese costumes and step back in time to experience the culture firsthand. Learn how to make Pho (Vietnamese noodle soup) with help from local people who know all the secrets of the recipe.
What makes us unique is our team. They are not just guides; they are passionate storytellers who live and breathe the art of puppetry. With a deep love for this tradition, your tour guide will share fascinating stories about the puppets, the artisans who create them, and the rich history of the village. Our team brings the world of puppetry to life in a way that is truly engaging and unforgettable.
