    We were very happy with the guide who gave us special care, and a great deal of information. It was an interactive experience

    We loved it! You should definately spend those few hours and explore this! I had absolutely no idea how silk is produced before and on this tour we not only had a possibillity to see each step of it (from baby worms to final fabric), but we were able to try to do everything by ourselves step by step. Wonderful experience, very interesting and informative - thank you! And a nice english speaking guide as well đź‘Ť

    We were picked up from the hotel, given a welcome drink of mulberry juice and then we met our tour guide. The tour guide Thu was so friendly and informative. We were able to feed the silk worms, use the looms and see what is entailed in the silk industry. Originally my husband thought the tour would just be a sales tour however we both found it to be one of the best tours we've done in Vietnam. Very insightful and we would highly recommend. There is an option at the end of the tour to look around the shop but there is no obligation to buy if you don't wish to. After the tour, we were given a small meal and transported back to our hotel. Thu, our guide was fantastic at her job and made our day special.

    Please DO go and visit. You’ll be picked up from your hotel...and returned. We got the whole story about silk production and it’s history (even learned a new word: sericulture!) We plucked mulberry leaves and fed them to silkworms and then got to try our hand at unspooling the cocoons and also a bit of weaving (NB: go easy on the loom!) We enjoyed lunch and purchased some silk items - for ourselves and as gifts. Well, well worth the visit. P.S. Our guide was Ha.

(So sorry cannot remember her name and didnt save contact) The hands on tours is great fun and you learn so much. We were glad we did the personal tour. Very goid value. Learning the differences of silk and silk snd c otton and synthetics is very useful. The shop is lovely ans wished we had time to go back. An excellent lunch included and pick up and drop off from hotel made for a great half day

    Wir hatten eine private Führung, bei der wir sehr viel über die traditionelle Herstellung von Seide erfahren und gelernt haben. Da wir sämtliche anfallenden Tätigkeiten auch selbst ausführen durften, konnten wir viel besser verinnerlichen, wie viel Arbeit und Zeit zur Herstellung dieses außergewöhnlichen Stoffes notwendig ist, was den hohen Preis zumindest zum Teil erklärt. Der Nachmittag war kurzweilig und hochinteressant und das anschließende Essen schmeckte sehr gut. Ein tolles Erlebnis - vielen Dank!

    Highly recommend this fascinating and enlightening tour. Our guide, Linh was charming and very knowledgeable and able to answer all our questions. The tour is quite hands on, which adds to the fun.It is amazing how easy something is until you actually have to do it. The tour includes a visit to the shop, but there was no pressure to buy and the items are all well priced and of excellent quality. A highlight is seeing a demonstration of the Champa people weaving using traditional looms- it is amazing what effort goes into these beautiful materials. Dinner was also excellent- the food was delicious and the service was very good. Highly recommend this tour. Thank you Linh for a great experience.

    A well worth experience. Our beautiful guide was very knowledgeable ( considering she has only been in the job of a guide for 3 months !!!! WOW is all I can say) and the hands on experience gives you an appreciation of how silk is made and the process it takes to create the stunning finished products. The lunch afterwards was lovely and the portion sizes were very generous, We enjoyed our selves so much that when we visit Hoi An again will be booking it again.
