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.

No Accessibility and No Empathy for Disabled Travelers - We had a very disappointing experience. My husband has a prosthetic leg, and during transportation in a very small van, he had to remove it due to lack of space. When we arrived, he only needed a few minutes to put it back on, but the guide left without us. We were left alone with no direction, got lost, and felt unsafe. When we raised our concerns, the guide was dismissive and rude, and showed no understanding of his condition. We ultimately decided to leave the tour early and return to our hotel at our own expense.
