The exhibition was really great, but it seemed like there were 1-2 staff members pointing at me and laughing, so it was quite annoying 😀

The ticket exchange was easy and smooth. The ticket is available 24 hours a day, so I was able to use it until the next morning. I was able to enjoy the scenery from the window while listening to the Japanese guide through the earphones. They also lend out hats for free on the bus, so it was comfortable even in the strong sunlight.

Great trip. Beautiful places, especially boating at Trang An, crossing the caves was awesome. Good itinerary & maintaining the schedule, timely pick up, buffet lunch with a wide spread, and travel by limousine were all really good. The trip guide Mr.Victor was excellent. Well behaved, very jolly and humorous. Highly recommended.

A half day tour and very insightful! Our tour guide give us lots of new knowledge about incense making and some of Hanoi's culture. The incense village itself is very pretty! By going there, we can really appreciate how dedicated people there on creating the incense
