About this experience
'Why this experience?' is the question many asked me. It's not the first, the only, definitely not the last thing I host, but I can do this all day! Each time I go, there are new things to learn about the village, the craft... Also, I'm lucky to have Mr. Hoang, a passionate and skillful village local who really knows how to introduce traditional pottery handmaking in short period of time for both beginners and guests more used to automatic tables. He's been doing this for more or less 10 years. The most interesting part is to watch fellow travelers (like you) enjoy learning about history, culture, people, and immerse in the craft. All the feelings; excitement, surprise, early frustration, patience, joy, relaxing... packed together. In the end, you bring home a piece or two made by yourself, great way to keep the memory long lasting!

Amazing
We had a very nice experience spending the day at this tour. Son was welcoming and we could start the trip earlier on request. We had some small Lunch and he took us to the best egg coffee shop in Hanoi. Than we went to the studio and it was so much fun doing the pottery and visiting the factory and market where we could buy very beautiful cheap ceramic. Would do it again 100%!

Great half day tour
It was a great experience to see the full process of pottery making and doing it on your own! Both Son and the pottery instructor is very patient and helpful. Learnt a lot through this experience!

Definitely worth it
I really enjoyed this experience. I love doing things with my hands. The teacher was there the whole time helping and showing me what to do at every step. Visiting a real pottery factory was also very interesting.

Amazing pottery class & tour in Bat Trang
We had a wonderful experience getting to spend time with Son and Hoang, and learning not only how to make our own pottery but also the rich history and culture of Bat Trang village and Hanoi. From the get-go, Son showed us incredible hospitality and struck up interesting and enriching conversation. Later in the day, Son and Hoang went above and beyond to take us to places off the beaten (tourist) path, show the pottery process start to finish, and give a glimpse into the day-to-day life and artistry of residents, potters, and painters at the village. At that point, I felt as if I were hanging out going on a walk with friends :) In summary, we learned and experienced much more than just making pottery, though the instruction on that part was also excellent and a super fun and interactive portion of the day. We got to paint and keep our handmade pottery once it was fired! I will cherish my little sunflower dish forever, which only turned out cute because Son helped me fix the ugly paint job I did at first. 😂 This was the perfect way to start our visit in Hanoi and one of the most memorable parts of our trip.

Amazing - READ ME
This was no exaggeration the coolest tour activity I have ever done. This is my 3rd time in Hanoi so I wanted to do something different from the typical Ha Long Bay excursion, city walking tour, or guided food tour. Our guide Son was incredibly knowledgeable and funny, he was the highlight of our entire trip to Hanoi. The tour starts with a lunch of your choice, we told Son we hadn't had bun cha yet and he took us to his favorite local spot which was incredible- I highly recommend you request the same! After lunch we started with actually making a pottery piece on the wheel with an instructor. Even if you have never done this before, the instruction is so good that you are guaranteed to finish at least 1 cup to later on paint and fire in the kiln. While the piece dries before painting, Son leads a wonderful factory tour showing every step of the production process and you have a chance to shop in the market. I never write lengthy reviews like this but this tour went above and beyond my expectations, for the price this is absolutely worth it and will be such a memorable experience in Hanoi guaranteed.

Why this scores 65
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Enjoy making pottery in Amazing Ancient Village!: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Hanoi.
How much does Enjoy making pottery in Amazing Ancient Village! cost?
+
Prices start at $45 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Hanoi usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Enjoy making pottery in Amazing Ancient Village! take?
+
Plan for about 5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Hanoi is not rushed.
Is Enjoy making pottery in Amazing Ancient Village! worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 65 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 14 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Hanoi, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Enjoy making pottery in Amazing Ancient Village!?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Enjoy making pottery in Amazing Ancient Village! suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Enjoy making pottery in Amazing Ancient Village!?
+
Around 5 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Hanoi can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Hanoi and add a light layer if any part of the 5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Enjoy making pottery in Amazing Ancient Village! start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Hanoi within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Hanoi?
+
On Outty we rank every Hanoi experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Ninh Binh Day Trip from Hanoi with Tam Coc or Trang An & Mua Cave, Ha Giang Loop Tour 4 Days 3 Nights with Ha Giang Vision Tour, Halong Bay Day Tour With Titop Island, Cave, Kayak & Lunch. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Hanoi?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Hanoi?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
