Incense village tour

Published on Jan, 2025

We enjoyed our half day trip to Incense Village and Train street. Phuc was very friendly and accomodating, and he took a lot of great pictures of us. Very professional. We will recommend this trip to our friends.

Highly recommended

Had a great time. Saw the highlights of Hanoi hassle free. Our guide Bob was gracious and knowledgeable. He was also great at taking photos!

Travis and our driver...

Travis and our driver were GREAT. Travis was super accommodating regarding what we would like to see not in the itinerary. We saw some areas and sites that we had not seen previously. Also, when we went to a cafe, he told us we could order anything we wanted which was super appreciated. We had a great time.

Very enjoyable tour!

We really enjoyed the tour - our guide, Devin, was kind, friendly and knowledgeable. The mausoleum was closed on the day we booked it and so we could only see it from the outside - we asked if we could swap the mausoleum visit for a trip to Train street instead - he was super flexible and changed the timings to make it happen. He also booked ahead to make sure we had a good position on Train street and gave our teenage son some bottle tops to put on the rails. He also booked us a restaurant for the end of the trip, which he didn’t need to do. Such a fun morning all round. We’d highly recommend.

Wonderful Tour

Levy was awesome! He is so knowledgeable and answered all of my questions. I learned so much in 4 hours and really enjoyed this tour. This was our favorite tour and guide during our 1-month honeymoon across Thailand and Vietnam.
