Best Tour Company! - We had an amazing time on the Incense Village, Hat & Lacquer Artisanal Tour—a perfect blend of culture, history, and artistry. Our guide, Danny, was fantastic from start to finish. He was incredibly informative, sharing fascinating insights about each stop and answering all our questions with patience and genuine enthusiasm. Danny's warm and professional demeanor made the entire experience smooth and enjoyable. From the colorful incense village to the intricate process of making conical hats and lacquerware, every part of the tour felt thoughtfully curated and deeply enriching. This is a must-do for anyone interested in Vietnamese culture and traditional crafts. Highly recommend—and special thanks to Danny for making it unforgettable!

Highly recommended - We both really enjoyed this trip, the incense village and hat making so colourful and interesting. Our guide Anna went out of her way to make sure everyone enjoyed their time. She was full of knowledge and spoke in detail so we all understood the various processes involved. Her bright smile and enthusiasm made the trip more special for us all. Highly recommended.

Great insight into local handicraft - We were lucky enough to only be two on this tour. So we received the all-round carefree package from the professional tour guide, Danny 👌 On-time hotel pickup, then first exchange of important words in Vietnamese. This was followed by the great visits to Lackproduktion, where we got to get a little creative ourselves. Then on to the incense, where we were allowed to dye sticks ourselves. Followed, of course, by a great photo session. Finally, paint a cone hat after Danny demonstrated the production and explained it clearly. A great day trip! 😀 Thanks to Danny and the skilful driver who safely meandered through the chaotic traffic 👍🏻

Amazing Amazing, So so MAGICAL - Bring a rain jacket just incase. They do give you a disposable poncho but it does get a bit windy and cold while it's raining.

Kamon from Hanoi, , - The bus was small and full, perhaps using a school bus. However, the tour guide was friendly and the locals were kind and responsive to the station, so it was a fun experience.

Ms Jay made our experience super delighted - This is a great experience, full of information on how Conical Hat and Incense are being made. Ms. Jay is our energetic, full of knowledge, pretty, friendly and helpful tour guide. She encouraged us especially my wife to try everything. My hidden artistry was discovered after my artworks on 2 Conical Hats. I am super delighted that Ms. Jay helped us find our ways to Lotus Water Puppet Show and even helping us get some BahnMi and Motorcycle helmets.

It should be told that... - It should be told that most of the trip is driving to get to the places. THe hat painting was fun, however they did not help or provided much paint to paint our hats.
