Groups are limited to 10 people, and the tour lasts about two hours.

“I had a great time on my tour, Vy was an excellent guide with great knowledge and was able to answer any questions I had. It was an interesting tour as it is slightly different to the kind of thing you may be used to. It was very interesting to get an insight to the Vietnamese people’s relationships with death and the traditions they carry. Would recommend to anybody who is interested to have more of an insight to Vietnamese culture rather than your average “touristy” tours!”
