'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!

Son is an amazing guide and I made a new friend! This experience was one that I was looking forward to and I had an absolutely fun time! Before I arrived at Hanoi, Son such a caring host that he checked when I would be arriving and where I would be staying. He even offered food recommendations and answered all my Hanoi travel queries well! We started the day with Son picking us up from our places by car and driving us down to Bat Trang Ceramic Village (1hr+ drive). Along the drive, Son gave us an interesting insight into the Hanoi Ceramic Mosiac Mural and when we arrived at the village, we were given an insider's tour into one of the biggest pottery factories (and dragon kiln!) I've ever seen. The craftsmanship, production quality and pottery wares available were a treat (we even got to see the craftsmen at work) and next we were led to the main event - trying our hands on the wheel and making our pottery works under the supervision of Master Huang! He was a patient teacher and helped us to practice before we decide to keep our finished works. (this requires patience so make as many as you can!) While waiting for the works to dry, we were treated to a delicious lunch of Banh Cuon and Nem ran (which I would say is the most delicious Banh Cuon I ever had!) while chatting. After that, we returned to glaze our works with underglaze painting tools provided. Finally, we wrapped up the tour with shopping time at the pottery market (Chợ gốm Bát Tràng) - pls bring enough cash around 100-200k VND but you can always ask Son! Overall, I definitely enjoyed this enriching experience as a pottery hobbyist and will be looking for my Vietnamese friend Son again for his Airbnb stay + Food Tour when I return to Hanoi! Cảm ơn Son! :)”

Must do in Hanoi. There might be other pottery tours available but I can guarantee that this one hosted by Son is well worth it. Seeing the production process in making tea pots and cups changed the way I see tea cups and pots here onwards. The patience and skill each pottery maker put in each stage is admirable. The pottery making activity is engrained in my mind forever. It's a special experience.

Amazing experience with a nice guide! They were super welcoming and the ceramic town was awesome! It was one of the best memories in Hanoi! Highly recommend this option :) 혼자 여행하면서 신청했는데 진짜 재밌고 만족스러운 여행이었습니다 특히 영어로 설명해주는 가이드분이 너무 좋았어요! 인원이 적게 모여도 투어를 해주시기 때문에 그 점도 좋았습니당
