Highly recommend this whole experience 😊 - Alex was a great tour guide. Really enjoyed the whole experience, in particular the Hat Village was great fun. Watching how they are handmade and getting to paint your own. We also enjoyed a beautiful authentic lunch which was delicious. We did the package for three villages and lunch. Great value and would highly recommend 😊

Wonderful experience! - We liked it very much. Our guide explained many details of the production of both the hats and the incense to us, took us around showing us all the preparation phases and even letting us try it ourselves. Always very kind and smiling. Definitely an experience that we recommend to better understand a part of this country's culture

Nice trip - We were in 2 villages to see the production of incense sticks, birdcages, and hats. We found it a bit misleading that the tour description also mentioned a temple and a monastery; we never visited those places. It was very exciting to see how everything is made, and trying it out ourselves was a lot of fun. The staff was super lovely and attentive, and we felt very comfortable the whole time. For my taste, the focus was a bit too much on taking photos, but that is just my personal feeling.
