A fun and unique experience with an excellent guide - This tour was a fun and truly unique experience from start to finish. Visiting the incense village, trying on the conical hats, and seeing the lacquer art was something completely different from anything we’d done before. Our tour guide was excellent — knowledgeable, friendly, and made the whole day feel relaxed and enjoyable. Highly recommended if you want to experience a more cultural and authentic side of Hanoi.

Best tour in Vietnam - A wonderful and authentic experience that truly showcases Vietnamese culture. The incense stick village was beautiful and fascinating, and the hat-making workshop was hands-on and insightful. The guide was very good – friendly, knowledgeable, and engaging – and everything was well organised. Highly recommended for a meaningful cultural experience in Vietnam.

Incense, hat making and soy sauce private tour - We had a lovely time with Huy and Henry. We visited 3 different villages and had a great lunch at the hat making place. the driver was efficient and clean. Everything was super organized and we learned a ton and got to see many different things. It wasnt your typical touristy stops, felt very local. I highly recommend you book this tour if you want to visit these villages! Our tour guide Henry also took so many beautiful pictures for us in the incense fields. Overall a amazing experience!!
