Do not book!!!
SCAMMERS!!!! Unless you want to be left behind and never picked up, booked this trip! They will not respond, their phone number does not work and says no longer in service and then they just tell you the morning of the trip that they made an error and they will not pick you up. Completely ruined our day!!

Photo Op
My guide Leon was a happy, informative guide. I enjoyed seeing the process of making incense. The incense photo area is not a farm. It is set up for pictures FYI. The drive is long but it is nice to see a different area of Hanoi. Leon was a great picture taker. My tour dropped us off for train coffee and you get back to your location on your own. The workshop hat is quick, don’t expect perfection!

Pictures and a long drive
Solo was easy with Leon! He took all my pictures at the village. Just know the village is pre constructed as a place to take pics. It isn’t a field, rather set up areas you can take various pictures. The process was explained and you can see the incense in various stages. Train street is a drop off on your own. FYI The hat painting wasn’t mentioned for this trip, but we did it. The first

Excellent services , great guide .Highly recommended
Tom was a great tour guide! We were picked up from our location, then he started the tour with fun facts in the van, we went to Train Street and we got to order drinks. He gave us clear instructions for when the train passes through. He happily answered questions about Train Street and Vietnam. Then, we headed to Incense Village. He took a lot of photos of the group members. We also got to observe and make incense firsthand.Super Nice trip & Highly recommended

Avoid this tour or you might get ignored
I was so looking forward to this tour on my first full day in Vietnam. I was to be picked up at 8 so I was out in front of my hotel by 7:45. When no one had arrived by 8:30, I contacted the tour company directly with no response. I repeated attempts at contact at 8:45 and 9:30 before I finally gave up, having sacrificed two hours of my day. I then contacted Viator and did receive a quick refund.

Why this scores 65
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Incense Village & HANOI city tour with train street Coffee: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Hanoi.
How much does Incense Village & HANOI city tour with train street Coffee cost?
+
Prices start at $55 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 Incense Village & HANOI city tour with train street Coffee take?
+
Plan for about 8 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 Incense Village & HANOI city tour with train street Coffee worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 65 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.7/5 across 37 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 Incense Village & HANOI city tour with train street Coffee?
+
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 Incense Village & HANOI city tour with train street Coffee suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 5. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 8-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book Incense Village & HANOI city tour with train street Coffee?
+
Around 13 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 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Incense Village & HANOI city tour with train street Coffee 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.
