A day exploring local crafts outside Hanoi - Really good day trip with a small group in a private car. Our guide Bob was knowledgeable and well organized. Plus he had good English and he recommended a good pho place for lunch. All good

It's a great tour. - It was my first experience tour with my family. We had a chance to experience lacquering in the studio of a famous painter, then visit an incense manufacturing village, where we explained the manufacturing process and took pictures of the photogenic arid landscape of incense, and finally, we had a chance to experience painting hats at the home of a teacher who is making Vietnamese hats. Lunch was very delicious with homemade homemade dishes at the teacher's house. The Guides were very kind and helpful in explaining. They also provided ice cream and water, and always made sure the tour guests enjoyed their trip. The tour was impeccably well-attended and the Guides were excellent.

It was wonderful tour - Hanoi, which I have visited many times, was the first time I went on tour alone. If you want to go there yourself, I think it's convenient to join the tour because it's a bit of a hurdle. It was a pain to go to the photo spot by myself, but the Guides cared about me throughout and it was a great tour.

A must do! - A fantastic and really informative tour. Rachel, the tour guide, explained everything very well. It was fascinating to see how they made the traditional items. Being able to take part and try out making them was fantastic and getting our conical hat as a souvenir was great. The lunch that was provided was absolutely delicious and there was a lot of food! I would highly recommend this tour.

Excellent! - An amazing tour to bring out your creative side. You get to paint your own conical hat, learn how it is made and take it home with you. The tour guide and driver were very kind, friendly and informative. Local food provided is delicious and caters for vegetarians. You also get involved in creating the lacquer art, which is fun! And of course you get your Instagram worthy pictures at the insence stick village. Thanks for an excellent tour tinny!

10/10 experience - Our guide was Vu, he was excellent, he taught us so much about the history of the Vietnamese art traditions. We met Mr dung who let us paint some laquer art in his studio and also shared tea with us. We met a friend of Vu while we were in the conical hat village and they shared stories of the Vietnam war ( as he was a solider for 10years during) and drank tea with them. We had a beautiful homemade lunch that tasted fantastic proceeded with painting and attempting to make a conical hat. We learned about the different types of conical hats and the different materials used to make them as well as the more traditional working hat to the luxerious fashion statement hats. Lastly we went to the incense village where Vu took some photos of me and my friend ( he is a very talented photographer) over all it is definitely worth the price. There’s more things we did but it’s just too much to write about. I would definitely recommend doing this tour if you love art or learning the traditions of the country.
