Things to do in Thuy Xuan Incense Village

After booking through Klook, the half-day tour was the best choice, perfectly blending history and emotion. We were able to thoroughly explore every corner, starting from the serene Huyen Khong Pagoda, moving to the iconic Thien Mu Pagoda, and then to the colorful incense stick village. The last stop, the Half-Moon Bridge, was particularly charming with its unique tranquil atmosphere, which brought a sense of calm to my heart. Most importantly, our guide, Nga, was incredibly kind and attentive throughout the entire trip, making sure we enjoyed ourselves despite the hot weather. Thanks to Nga's warm guidance, I made unforgettable memories in Hue. If I have the chance again, I would definitely love to join Nga's tour! I highly recommend this tour to anyone planning a trip to Hue.

Had a great experience with Toan as our private tour guide! He was super friendly, personable and super easy to talk to. He recommended some really great spots around Hoi An, including what was probably the best Bánh Mì I had during my entire trip. 😄also checked out BeBe tailor and ended up getting a couple of clothing custom made! He was also very helpful in navigating Ba Na Hills. Since I preferred to focus on the most iconic spots and not spend hours trying to see absolutely everything, he helped us make the most of our time there and avoid unnecessary wandering around. lol I also appreciated all the local tips and recommendations he shared throughout the trip. He was very accommodating, knowledgeable, and genuinely wanted us to have a good experience. Would definitely hire Toan again the next time I’m back in Vietnam. Highly recommended! 😝

Normally, I enjoy Vietnamese coffee, egg coffee, salt coffee, and coconut coffee. Today, I had a special opportunity to learn how to make coffee in Hue at the Phin coffee class with Uyen. I learned about the history of each type of coffee and the coffee-making process, which was not difficult at all and a lot of fun.

It was a wonderful experience. The scenery was breathtaking, and the breeze felt amazing. The afternoon tea was also delicious, allowing me to spend a relaxing and elegant time.

Simon was our guide - clear and interesting explanation! to note that the drive to Hue is ~2 hours away with one rest stop. Attractions visited was ample to learn more about the historical importance of hue. The provided lunch was also very filling.

I had a fabulous day with To and we ticked off so many places of interest in Hue. I could never have covered so much alone. To is a very good driver with great English and was very committed to making sure I had a great day. The restaurant we stopped at for lunch was fresh and tasty. Even at the end of the day instead of taking me to the market he stopped at a grocery store for me to let me buy supplies I had mentioned I wanted to take home. There was enough time to see everything at my own pace and no rushing; just relaxing.

My booking was made through Klook, and while the staff were initially confused about Klook, it was all sorted out within 10 minutes. There were altogether 11 or 12 items served. Food was on the whole delicious. Staff were helpful, and service was also quick. We arrived at around 6.15 pm, and food was served soon after 6.30, and by around 7.30 we had finished. Also liked the "old fashioned" ambience of the place.

This was me and my husband’s first time signing up for a cooking class, and it turned out to be such a memorable experience. Duck, our intructor was knowledgeable and attentive; she had an easygoing way of teaching that made everything feel approachable. It felt like we’re being taught by a close friend of ours. She also made my son feel comfortable. The house where was the class was held was nice and comfy; just a 15 min ride from the citadel. The dishes were delicious, the atmosphere was fun, and we left with full stomachs and happy hearts. I’d recommend this class to anyone, especially if it’s your first time trying something like this.

Good thing I was able to stretch the trip in one afternoon. I would recommend using this since it will provide one QR code applicable for all sites. First, I choose the farthest site to visit via Grab bike, Minh Mang, Khai Dinh, Tu Duc, lastly, Imperial Palace. First two was the fave, but the least liked were the last two because of pictorials with attire change. I wish they only have designated places.
