We had a wonderful time visiting the Incense Village with our amazing guide, Andrew! He was very accommodating and shared great insights about the incense-making process, making the experience even more meaningful. We truly appreciated his warmth and enthusiasm — he even became our photographer, capturing lovely moments along the way! Overall, it was such an enjoyable and memorable activity. Highly recommended!
I'm happy as a photo spot. It was a fun tour. It's a place where you can create fun memories. It is a place I would recommend to my friends.
We had so much fun during the tour. Our tour guide, Zack is very accommodating and patient. He also recommended some nice restaurants, coffee shops and places to go. He’s really nice and made sure we are comfortable all the time.
Recommended for future tour . Nice experience especially having our tourist guide , Andrew . Best tourist guide .looking forward to have a next trip with Andrew 👍
Awful!!! If I could give minus 5 maybe it would be adequate!!! An hour's drive from Hanoi to find a tourist situation bordering on horrid!!! I strongly advise against committing money and time as it happened to us!!!! Nothing true but all set up to draw money with even an entrance fee... Maybe with the sun.... But I don't know whether to believe it. They want to be paid to even take pictures of a square full of incense...
Dear Luca, We’re truly sorry that your experience did not match your expectations. 🙏 It seems that you left the review for our Quang Phu Cau Incense Village- Hoa Lu - Trang An Small Group Tour, while only mentioned the visit to the Incense Village. This might have caused some misunderstanding. It would be highly appreciated if you could share more if you also visited Ninh Binh with us. To share more with you, in our tour to the Incense Village, tourists can not only see how incense is made but also meet the local artisans, experience the village’s cultural decorations, and take beautiful photos. The village has even been featured by Forbes, and many of our travelers have visited and loved the experience. However, maybe the too hot weather also affected your trip as well which made us feel so sorry for it. That said, we sincerely apologize again if the tour was not as you expected. Please don’t hesitate to reach out to our hotline WhatsApp +84 961 423 455 or reply our feedback so we can support you further regarding compensation or assistance. Warm regards, Daphne
Cane is a very good tour guide! Young but knowledgeable..we will recommend your company and also Cane to our relatives & friends who will visit hanoi
We had a wonderful experience on this unique and relaxing one-day excursion that took us to two fantastic locations. We began our day at the Quang Phu Cau Incense Village, where we learned about the incense manufacturing process and took photos of the vibrant displays of incense sticks. We then traveled to Ninh Binh for a boat ride at Trang An, which lasted 2-3 hours depending on the chosen route. After the boat ride, we enjoyed a delicious buffet-style lunch and made a stop at Hoa Lu. Our tour guide, Martin, was very energetic, knowledgeable, and overall excellent! The trip was exactly as advertised, and I highly recommend it!
Awesome experience! We had a wonderful guide, Lucas who was very friendly and shared so much about Vietnamese culture. We loved having the private tour (well worth it). The places we visited were full of beauty and history. Highly Recommend!
A lovely 'instagrammable' experience. A tiny village but worth just for the pics. Our guide and drive were lovely as well.
The trip was excellent. really had a great time. Had a great time in the bamboo boat ride. Our guide Tom was very knowledgeable about Vietnam history, he is friendly and well organized. The driver Mr. Ten is also helpful, and Prepare the umbrella to us.
