Great value for cruise ship passengers or those on limited time - We did this tour while in port from a cruise ship. The operator put us in touch with other cruisers to form a tour group. The whole process was very easy and Hoi our guide met us just outside the port gates. He was very friendly, knowledgeable and a great guide to show us around this area. The bus was air conditioned and very comfortable with bottled water. The tour took in all the spots mentioned in the itinerary. We saw the embroidery factory, conical hat making, mat making, rice paper factory, white Buddha and the orphanage. Lunch was amazing and very tasty by the river with drinks and food included in the cost of the tour. In fact apart from personal shopping in the market, all costs were covered by the tour. The boat ride up the river after lunch was a great way to relax with a full belly. Thank you for a wonderful day visiting this area and I recommend it completely to those on time restrictions, like us from a cruise ship.

Great day trip - We booked this excursion with some of the people that we met on Cruise Critic. There were 10 of us all together with our guide Mr. Huy. It was a busy day with a lot of stops and definitely the way to go versus a big bus tour. We stopped at an orphanage, rice making, hat making, embroidery, Buddha statue, had lunch at a local restaurant and a really nice river cruise at the end. Great company to do business with - would recommend them.
