An interesting Afternoon - We were fortunate to have Emily as our guide for the afternoon visiting the carpentry and pottery village(s). She was excellent! Good English skills and a knowledgeable young lady. Was a very interesting day and were pleased we were able to get a glimpse into how some lived and worked in Vietnam.

Hoi An Pottery and Carpentry Village - We had fantastic afternoon with our very friendly, fun and knowledgeable guide Eric. He made the trip all the more pleasant with providing us us with facts of the history surrounding each location including the religious beliefs and customs of the Vietnamese people. An awesome afternoon out. Thank you Eric.

Friendly tour! - Friendly tour with locals. Very helpful tour guide. The Terracotta models of famous global monuments is the only thing which we liked here. These monuments are placed in open air. The museum was nothing great. The entire place is good for half an hour visit.

Our guide was quite informative and... - <p>Our guide was quite informative and the woodcarving/boat building village was interesting but the pottery village didnt quite live up to expectations.<br/> It was all terracotta and rather plain.The terracotta museum allowed us to see the pottery through the ages but still not really mind grabbing.</p>
