Anna and the driver were extremely helpful, kind and gave us so much information about incense and hats. They took beautiful pic - It's a short half day tour that gave us an insight on the lives of people outside Hanoi living in small villages making incense and hats. Our guide Anna was super helpful in telling us all the history and how the process in making incense and hats work. We received some beautiful pictures taken in the incense farm. Everyone there was super kind in taking our pictures. After the tour, Anna also gave us several suggestions for restaurants and foods in Hanoi. I tried some of them, they were delicious!

Half day tour that is a ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ - This half day tour is very interesting. The process of hat-making and the painting process to make it look attractively colorful is so unique. The incense village was so gorgeous. People adores the wonderful color (mostly red). This one is a must to see especially if you prefer half- day tour. Our guide Lana was fantastic. She is very good from beginning to the end. She explains the whole tour and what to expect and always find time to answer all our questions.

Poetic & Dreamy - Visiting the Incense Village near Hanoi was an incredible experience. The sight of thousands of bright red, yellow, purple and pink incense sticks arranged in perfect circular patterns is simply mesmerizing. It’s one of the most colourful and photogenic places in Vietnam. If you’re near Hanoi, the Incense Village (Quang Phu Cau) is definitely worth a visit. It’s a place that captures both the spirit and the colours of Vietnam most beautifully way

Immersive and excellent experience showing real skills - What a great experience. Anna the tour leader was excellent and kept us all in good spirits. The incense stick village and conical hat home we visited was inspiring and an experience to savour. Definitely recommend for anyone to experience this when in Hanoi. Ask for Anna as she is excellent.
