The concert was an overall amazing experience, with very talented musicians playing a mix of traditional and originally invented instruments with ceramic pots and other materials. Breathtaking and innovative compositions that took me on a ride of emotions. A must-see for anyone travelling to Hanoi!

This was such a pleasant way to spend an afternoon, away from the noise and crowds of. Hanoi. It was a wonderful way to relax with a creative activity in a peaceful environment. We were free to design our own mosaics. The hosts were perfect, friendly yet allowed us to work at our own pace, offering support when my children required it. Highly recommend.
In terms of location - the journey was an easy 40 min ride from the city in a Grab.

Our wonderful guide Alex showed us around some AMAZING local spots in the old quarter. She was so efficient, knowledgeable, and kind in guiding us around this bustling foodie center! The food was incredible and this is an experience I will remember forever!

Booked: Hidden Alley Food Tour in Hanoi
Amazing, super zen experience, feels like a peaceful escape in the middle of the city, and of course the tea is delicious.

We were looking for a unique and different experience in Hanoi and we certainly found it. Our host David was very friendly and knowledgeable about the process.
The family making the knives were very inviting and helpful, making the entire experience so much fun.
Was absolutely worth the short trip out to the village - which is still really part of Hanoi and was only a 35 minute drive away.
And the knife we made will be a wonderful keepsake from the morning we spent there.
Would totally recommend the experience for anyone to try
Kris
I am thankful to the team in seek Sophie for being responsive and helpful in arranging the trip. However, some of the accommodation was really subpar (not hot water, shower head not working - especially the ninh binh eco lodge). For the price we pay, we can definitely find more comfortable accommodation by ourselves.
Jamie
The experience was amazing. For me, someone who does not know how to cook it was very easy to follow and understand. And the recipes used for the food and the egg coffee (wasnt too sweet) was EXCELLENT! I loved every bit of it. Highly recommended to try this.
Nur
Amazing guides and such a great time! Loved how local the experience was
