Review Body: A truly unique and amazing experience! Was absolutely the highlight of Ho Chi Minh city, much better than expected ☺️. From the first moments I was treated with kindness and great hospitality. I also felt that the host was a true artist, she had an air of a very good hearted person around her, and even her artwork was radiating very good emotions and light:). The experience started from a very well prepared presentation of the history of the hats, then we learned how to draw this year’s animal, practiced a bit and then drew it on the hat. I was guided on every step of the way, but it was still all my own work on the hat. It turned out very beautifully and I really feel that that will be my best souvenir from the whole trip!

Review Body: What an incredible experience! If you enjoy creativity and are keen to connect more deeply with Vietnamese culture this is an ideal experience. My daughter and I were guided patiently and encouragingly as we created our art. Bi and her lovely team were attentive and generous. While you are given direction and support, you are also very much free to follow your instincts and creative preferences. And no… you don’t at all need to be perfect, the style and materials are very forgiving. Bi’s musical interlude was a real treat. We’ve spent the last three weeks traveling this beautiful country and this was absolutely one of our highlights!

Review Body: Had a great time with the host Bambi. She was super patient and encouraging with my 7 year old daughter and even packed extra paint for us to take away when we couldn’t finish. The art is very cute and impressive, loved her unique style. The shop also had a bunch of interesting products which we really liked and bought. Great way to spend an afternoon in HCM to learn about local art culture.

Review Body: Absolutely Fantastic! The hostess Bam Bi was lovely and was extremely helpful, she taught us the history of the Đông Hô art style and how to replicate her beautiful artwork as our own. She also played some traditional music for us on a bamboo flute. Would definitely come again, amazing vibe and great place to spend the morning.

Review Body: Outstanding experiencem Bam bi was a fantastic host - gave a lovely intro into the hat making process, and then hosted a lovely walk through of the drawing process. She made it super fun and educational at the same time. The break where she gave a musical performance was also great. Highly recommend for all types of groups
