We did the 1/2 day tour, just the 3 of us. We were picked up from our accommodation and from the moment we arrived the experience started. We were met and had time to sit and drink mulberry juice before a very informative and hands on couple of hours. Thư Mion was a fabulous guide and allowed us plenty of time to have hands on experiences from picking leaves to feed the silk worms to weaving on a traditional loom. Yes we did buy some silk items from the onsite shop but at no time did we feel pressured to do this. We finished the tour with a delicious lunch. If you enjoy traditional practices and history this is a tour you will enjoy. It was informative and a quiet, calm tour.…

If you are like me and are thinking this is similar to the pottery village it is not. We drove our motorbikes to this out of town ‘village’ expecting to find something similar to the pottery village.

We were introduced to a lovely Chama tribal couple who wove the silk threads into cloth. Lunch was included and was delicious.…

We had the pleasure of doing the long tour with Miss Huong and it was excellent! Miss Huong was such a great guide, with great English and she really knew what she was talking about. We went through the process of making silk from worms to silk threads and we even picked mulberry leaves to feed to the silk worms. It was all a very interesting experience and Miss Huong made the experience even better. After the tour we were served a super delicious lunch, actually some of the best food we had in Vietnam. Plus we got a free taxi home, all in all, a fantastic deal. We definitely recommend that you book the long tour and hopefully you'll be lucky enough to have Miss Huong as a tour guide.…
