I had such an amazing time on this tour with Tinny! He was so kind and friendly right from the beginning. We were able to get out of the hectic city and see another and truly authentic side of Vietnam. On this tour we got a chance to see how they weaved the traditional Vietnamese hats and also where they make the incense used in temples. We got to see a bamboo village and interact with local people and hear about their way of life. This tour was a great way to see another part of Vietnamese life and to help support local people in a more rural area. You will have a blast on this tour with Tinny and create memories for a life time :)
What a FANTASTIC experience! We ventured out into the countryside, south of Hanoi, and visited three craftwork villages. We saw (and experienced!) the process of making incense, the building of bamboo birdcages and the making of the iconic Vietnamese conical hat. Our host, Mr. Tinny, is such a lovely person, and she was instrumental in making our experience truly memorable. I should also note that Mrs. Thanh, the artisan who makes the conical hats, threw down such an incredible spread for lunch. It was, without question, the most amazing meal we’ve had in Vietnam over the last two weeks - and that’s saying something because all of our dining experiences have been wonderful. If you visit Hanoi, do yourself a favor and book this experience… Without a doubt, it will be the highlight of your trip!
