A charming village full of taste - Everything is great and well arranged by a nice and friendly guide. Figured out more about Vietnamese culture and history through heritage sites, ancient houses, church, and temples. Enjoyed wandering around the village, admiring the picturesque, and talking to hospitable local people. The nostalgic scenery is a place that people will love. Experienced gourmet food and drink of Hanoi all day. Relaxed through private tour flexibly customized to your liking.

Authentic village - Beautiful experience to see a more or less authentic village, warmly received in various houses. Beautiful temples, good personal explanation about the preparation of soy sauce. Of course also tasted, just like chicken and fish that had simmered for hours over a charcoal fire. Special and worth it.
