Full description

This is a 5-hour experience from Hanoi, built around Bus/coach, Quang Phu Cau and Chuong Conical Hat Village. It is run by ANNA TRAVEL - Let's Feel Vietnam!, an operator we book with directly rather than through a reseller, which is why we can hold your place with them before we treat your booking as final.

A private day with a driver-guide is the way to see the most of a Japanese city or region in one day, because it removes the transfers between sights that eat a third of the day on public transport. Prices are usually per vehicle for up to a set number of guests rather than per person, and cover the car, fuel, tolls and the guide; entrance fees and lunch are paid as you go unless the listing says otherwise. Japanese guides are licensed for the work and typically punctual to the minute. Give the operator your priorities, and expect them to reorder the day around opening hours and crowds; that is what you are paying for.

Pickup is offered from Old Quarter and 87 P. Mã Mây; the exact spot and time are agreed with ANNA TRAVEL - Let's Feel Vietnam! once the booking is confirmed, and the option you choose sets whether transport is included.

The price covers Visit to Chuong village, Visit to Quang Phu Cau village, Observation of conical hat making, Incense making demonstration and Visit to the largest incense factory. It does not cover Lunch, Round-trip bus transfer fee for the half-day trip: VND, Drinks and Lacquer piece for experience the craft only, so budget for those separately. Everything included is listed in full on this page; if something is not on that list, assume it is not in the price.

ANNA TRAVEL - Let's Feel Vietnam! sends the meeting point and time by email as soon as the booking is confirmed. We need at least one day's notice, and we confirm the date with ANNA TRAVEL - Let's Feel Vietnam! before treating your booking as final. If they cannot take your date we tell you and refund you rather than leave you waiting.

Leon was an extremely friendly, open guide and explained everything to us really well. Both the incense stick production and hat production were really interesting. Thank you Leon. It was great to do this tour in a small group. Highly recommended.

Es werden zu den Gebühren zusätzlich 30€ für‘s Fahren erhoben, was für vietnamesische Verhältnisse sehr teuer ist. Der Tourguide war supernett aber z. B. das „Weihrauchdorf“ ist ein einziges Scam. Das sind nicht wie auf den Fotos große Felder, sondern ein abgesperrter Bereich wo das stattfindet und im Hintergrund ist Bauzaun mit komischen Motiven. Man muss schon sehr justieren um den richtigen Winkel zu finden. dass die Fotos toll aussehen. Der Stopp danach bei den Lackbildern ist auch eine reine Kaufaufforderung. Würde die Tour nicht empfehlen. Zudem hieß es Abholung 8 Uhr, der Tourguideschri

Las actividades, poder conocer oficios de esta cultura. Demasiado rápido, ya que tardas mucho el recoger a los participantes. Con el tráfico de Hanoi y las carreteras en obras, paso a nivel de tren … cuando llegas prácticamente no te da tiempo a nada

L'esperienza nel suo complesso non ha soddisfatto le mie aspettative. La guida Liam è molto gentile, tuttavia il tempo per questa attività è stato mal gestito: troppo tempo al "villaggio" dei cappelli tipici vietnamiti, tempo di trasferimento molto lungo lungo (al mattino per recuperare tutti i partecipanti all'attività ci abbiamo impiegato circa 1 ora). Prezzo eccessivo per le attività proposte (26€ in 2). Durata totale dell'attività 7 ore, il villaggio dell'incenso dista circa 40 km da Hanoi.

The tour was great! Rachel (the guide) was extremely nice, very informative, and helped me taking some photos, as I was a solo traveller. The timing of the tour was great. Loved it!
