It is worth knowing more about the culture of the country. Do not miss this very interesting opportunity. - We loved the whole walk. The guide Voul (I can't write his name) was extremely attentive, explained all the processes demonstrating a lot of knowledge. Always worried if we were understanding... the locations were also very interesting and the people very attentive.

Excellently "crafted" tour - Vu was a hospitable and welcoming guide with excellent English skills.
He has great passion for the local crafts people, a connection to those he introduces, and tries to get to know his tour guests.
The tour itself was interesting, hands on, and fun.
Good local food was supplied, comfortable transportation, highly recommend to those who want a tour on the fringes of Hanoi away from the hustle and bustle of the city
