unique experience - Very easy, did not encounter any issue. The tour guide will text you the day before to remind you of the instructions. Loulou, our tour guide was very attentive and kept us entertained / educate through out the trip.
You also get to visit a more rural place for the hat/incense making. The incense place is undeniably a great place for photoshoots

Exploring Vietnam Day 2: With Tom as Our Guide - We had a really good experience with Tom, who took us to the Incense Village and the Traditional Hat-Making Village. He was very friendly and made us feel comfortable throughout the trip. He gave us enough time to explore, take photos, and enjoy the places at our own pace.
Overall, it was a smooth and enjoyable experience—perfect for our second day here. We would happily recommend him.
