If you're looking for something a little different and want to see the real Vietnam then this is for you!

Hanoi may be famous for its charming Old Quarter but let's be honest, it's full of tourists that you're trying to escape right? We're going to be taking you into the countryside of Hanoi and into the small villages that are well-known 'by the locals' for manufacturing the same products within each village.

Cần Quan Tâm

We’ll start at the stunning Quảng Phú Cầu village as very recently seen on National Geographic. Incense sticks are lit in temples & local houses everywhere in Vietnam... find out why and take in the beauty of the bamboo sticks laying in the streets to dry. Not only that, but we'll take you to the factory that mass produces incense sticks to export around Vietnam and other areas of South East Asia. Bring your cameras because today is going to be a colorful day. NOTE: If it does rain then there may not be as many on show outside but no stress... we have a backup ️

Chuong Village

Take a break and indulge in what will more than likely be your best meal in Vietnam. Finish up with some local tea (or a beer) before we get hands on You’ve seen the locals wearing the traditional cone-shaped leaf hats right? How could you not have? Have a go at weaving a Non-La yourself in Chuong Village. From drying the palm leaves in the sun, ironing them (believe it or not), hand stitching the leaves together, and tying on the strap... you'll learn all the steps to making them from start to finish. Absolutely no pressure but you'll be able to buy a hat here much more beautiful and cheaper than you can in the City.

Very insightful and interesting if you're looking for a cultural tour that's a little more "off the beaten path". The lunch was REALLY good! For the price of the tour & time spent with us, its a good deal. Doing a tour of this type is also a great reminder at how privileged we are in my country. When you compare all the work and time these families put in to their craft with so little money gained, its really eye opening. This isnt a tour where anyone is trying to sell you anything though. I kind of thought it might be, but no. No one bugs you about buying things. That said, when you go to the hat maker and the art shop, you'll definitely want to buy a BUNCH of beautiful things though!! 😆 I had to remind myself my suitcase is stuffed full enough already. 😊

First we went to the lacquer village watched a the man at work then it was time for us to have a go. Then we went to the conical hats village where they still make all the hats by hand. I did buy a fabulous one. Then the family made us a traditional delicious lunch. Lastly we went to see how the incense sticks are made and of course those amazing photo opportunities. Was a great day out.

We thoroughly enjoyed this small-group tour to the traditional incense-making villages, where we learned firsthand from local artisans about crafting joss sticks (incense sticks), lacquer paintings, and the iconic nón lá hats. Our journey began with a visit to one of the largest bamboo factories, where we observed how incense sticks are meticulously handcrafted from thin bamboo slivers, coated with fragrant cinnamon paste, and sun-dried in vibrant, fan-like displays. The artisans then guided us through the intricate process of creating the nón lá, detailing each meticulous step of its construction. We also explored the fascinating art of sơn mài (lacquer painting), a technique that involves building up multiple layers from the topmost down, almost in reverse of traditional painting methods. Our guide, Vu, was exceptionally friendly and knowledgeable, ensuring the experience felt special and unrushed. A highlight was the side trip to the home of a Vietnam War veteran and his wife, where we enjoyed tea and heartfelt stories. Highly recommend this tour for an authentic, offbeat experience!
Fun and interactive experience.

This was a very fun and interactive experience. Be sure to notice if you are purchasing the full day or half day. It is a bit confusing in the description. I thought I had purchased the full day but learned at the end of the hat village that my tour was ending. I would have loved to continue and the guide tried to help me upgrade but there wasn’t enough room in the arranged transportation for the continuing group.
Just do it!

A fine outing because we learnt about the different techniques to create Non Las, lacquer paintings and Incense sticks. Our guide, Vu, was very nice, knowledgeable and enthusiastic. Worth doing, especially if you travel with kids!

This was a wonderful day out of the bustle of Hanoi. The locals we met were so glad to share their crafts and life stories with us and the food that the conical hat family made for us was delicious. Eating with them in their house felt like we were experiencing true Vietnamese hospitality. Our tour guide, Ha, was so proud of the history of the villages and his personal stories just made the tour even more special. Highly, highly recommend.
