It was a great embroidery workshop with guidance of a lovely local artist. I embroidered a small tote bag with beautiful flowers. So nice to do local crafts to take home.

Book it! Definitely worth it to be picked up at your hotel in a very comfortable van, hosted by very polite and kind tour guides to see and learn about things that are a bit off the beaten path. And if you get Danny as a guide, you will have hit the jackpot! He really cares about his guests, goes above and beyond and everyone who was on our tour said that he was the best travel guide they had ever encountered.

My husband and I traveled all over northern Vietnam and this was a stand out. We spent the morning with Hein who shared her family’s farm life with us. She patiently answered all of our questions and taught us how to cook a few dishes. We loved getting our hands dirty planting rice and catching fish. We would recommend this to anyway, and actually did as we continued our travels around Vietnam! We will remember this for years to come. I excellent experience!

The cooking class was a great experience, it’s very easy to follow along and quite intimate when we went there was only the two of us in the class which made it personal and allowed us to learn a lot!
 The staff are very hospitable and kind, all of them making sure we’re having a good time and taking an interest in who we are etc.

Staying with Thanh was the highlight of my trip. I arrived at 7 a.m., and he kindly allowed me to check in right away. He then arranged a driver to take me to several local sights.

The next day, we joined Thanh for a guided tour, where he led us away from the busy tourist areas and showed us stunning landscapes—hiking in the morning and exploring by bike in the afternoon. He even took me to play badminton, which was a fun and memorable experience.

All the meals prepared by his wife were delicious, and the rooms were beautiful and spotlessly clean. I can wholeheartedly recommend staying here.

Excellent tour!! The curation of activities and pacing was exactly what our group of 6 was looking for and enjoyed every minute of it! Our tour guide Danny was super informative and made it such a fun, friendly experience that it felt like we were hanging out with a friend. Definitely recommend this tour if you want just a little more than other tours!
