The tour by Dzi was amazing! She is very accommodating with our big group and helped ensure everyone was comfortable and settled wherever we went, especially for the elderly in our group. She provided us with background information wherever we went as well, answered any questions we had. She also took gorgeous pictures of us. She knew just the right angles to take. I highly recommend Dzi as a tour guide as well as this trip!

If you have a morning to spare then I highly recommend this activity. It's only 5 hours and you get to interact and see the lives of people in a rural village in North Vietnam. It was a pleasure to learn about them, walk through rice fields, watch water buffalos, chicken in farms, learn how the villagers harvest rice and use unique music instruments. We ended the tour with in my opinion the best egg coffee I tasted in Vietnam. I tasted several egg coffees afterwards in Hanoi but none could match the one I tasted at the end of this tour. We also had an amazing foot bath with hot herbal water. My guide and driver were exceptional and on time for pick up. My guide told us several stories about the lives of people in the village. It was educational and entertaining to hear. Again, highly recommend this activity, it's only 5 hrs. So you could do this in the morning and carry on with your other plans in the afternoon.

We had Yao as our tour guide. She was very informative and lovely and made the whole experience very special. I was hesitant to book a tour but this exceeded my expectations and was a lot cheaper than doing it all myself as I wouldn’t have had time to fit it all in. My favourite part was learning and seeing the traditional Vietnam villages and houses. Would definitely recommend ❤️
A great half day - thank you for guiding us, SUMY!

It was a very educationally rich and at the same time worth seeing experience Sumy speaks very good English, she has told us many and answered all questions.:) we can only recommend it. Perfect if you don't want to hike too much and don't like too steep climbs. The foot bath was also great:) gladly again

Dua our guide was very kind and knowledgeable as she grew up in the villages we visited. Recommend this tour if you aren’t able to trek as it gives a great insight into the countryside and local culture :)
