Bamboo sticks and hats - It was really great tour. Mr Paul was 5stars and explained everything pretty well. I also got some awesome pictures at Incense Village. The hat painting was really relaxing and it was like prattling mindfulness for me. I recommend it!!

Great tour and tour guide! - Amazing tour with a very knowledgeable and fun tour guide (Jenny)! We learned how the Vietnamese hat was made and also had the chance to do part of the process ourselves. In the end, we painted our hat, which was a fun activity. We also went to the village that they make the incense. We saw the whole procedure. Then we went to take pictures in the middle of thousands of incenses. The mini van is very comfortable and new.

Very nice experience - The guide was excellent and explained everything very throughly. Driver was very good We only found the excursion expensive. We paid 52 euros for 2 people for 1/2 day as we see it advertised at 18 euros for one person.

False advertisement - Unorganized and they didn’t take us for the train street, despite being included in the tour. I wouldn’t recommend it
