Amazing cultural experience. We throughly enjoyed our time learning and understanding about Agarwood in Hanoi. From the start, Ethan (our guide) communicated well with us, he was also punctual, made us feel super comfortable and even attended our request of returning back to the city earlier to catch our next schedule. He also went the extra mile of being our photographer during the tour so that we could concentrate on learning!! Thanks for the amazing experience and photos. We highly recommend this tour!
