Not our thing, but our guide was great! - We thoroughly enjoyed our half day tour with Timmy to the Incense Village. We were able to see the sticks, dyed and drying outside giving us a beautiful backdrop for photos as well as how the incense is actually "attached" or "applied" to the bamboo stick for burning. Neither of us have Instagram so while we really enjoyed the tour and Timmy, we felt this wasn't necessarily something we would do again or fully recommend (we don't have Instagram type friends...) It was a long drive, beautiful and we got to see the countryside, but long drive for what the tour was. There were definitely people there who went solely for the 'gram (we truly hate those type of people...) to the extent one couple had a drone so they could get an aerial photo - mind you, the space is probably 100ftx100ft so even that drone felt excessive. (Those there for the 'gram didn't even do anything BUT outside photos. They didn't care how it was made, dyed, stored.) It's really a destination for those who want to pose for photos and that's about it. I'm giving it a five star review because the above is a lifestyle, we thought there would be more about the making but we were shown the entire process, it just wasn't long, but we truly saw the process AND had a great guide. He offered to be our photographer and while we did get a few photos, we had to emphasize we were there for the tour and not a photoshoot. Timmy was our guide and driver. After the incense village he took us to a classic Bun Cha restaurant - the Obama/bourdain one. It was delish and thought it was cool they boxed off their table as a relic. Again, not photo people but the whole thing was cool - we actually sat right next to their table. Timmy was not only informative about the village, but he gave us a nice tour during the drive and explained a bit when we ate. If we had known Timmy offered other tours we definitely would have considered them also. He was just a great guide.

Great short trip - A great way to experience the incense village, a great photo spot. We were picked up promptly in a clean car with an infant seat, and our guide Timmy added much to the experience with commentary and helped with the photos.

Great value, even better guide! - Timmy provided me with an amazing experience. It was a solo tour and he explained so much about Hanoi and Vietnam during the drive. All of his information made. E eager to plan a return trip. He is a great photographer and captured phenomenal shots of me. It was 100% a worthwhile experience!

great experience half day tour in hanoi - We had a great experience with Viet Unique Tour, only halfday but it was very impressive, our driver was very enthusiastic and helped us take a lot of beautiful pictures, lunch was simple but very delicious, my family was very happy and thanks our tour guide for giving me truly relaxing moments in Hanoi, we would like to recommend this tour to you who have limit time in Hanoi but would like to see the lives of local people and the countryside outside of Hanoi, truly a memorable experience with great photos.

Great view! - Great trip in incense village, short trip but very impressive and so good experience, incense stick village was existing about 100 years. we got so many beautiful pictures. we walked around about 1 hour and know more about daily life of local here, mainly their job is making incense for domestic and exporting but now we saw many tourists coming I guess in near future this village will become attractive places for people want to see suburb of Hanoi and limit time to see nice place in half day tour. Highly recommend :)

Highly recommend!! - We had a really meaningful and wonderful trip. The tour guide Timmy picked up in the old town and took about 1 hour to go to Qang Phu Cau incense village, a village on the out of Hanoi. We were really impressed about the trip, from start to finish the journey was perfect, the tour guide was very professional and friendly, lunch was a bit late but the food was delicious, the car was extremely clean, and especially we had time very meaningful and valuable half day, thank you Timmy for giving us a wonderful experience!

Horrible experience - Worst tour booked on viator. Horrible driver and a kid as a tour guide who has no knowledge about anything. Don't book this tour.
