First stop is 40 mins around ‘ waste time ‘ stop for shopping. This is bad My tour seems outsourced by host to cozy travel company and assigned guy is good for explaining things from beginning but no tour at all at first Cave ‘ amazing cave ‘ - bit lay back to the tour. Again first shopping stop is a really bad experience and won’t recommend here for this experience. Thanks

A very good experience, all in all. It turned out to be ~14 hours long, because of some people not being able to turn up on time, and other logistics which were not in the control of the organisers. Even so, no spot felt rushed, and we were able to enjoy all three locations at our own pace. The buffet includes vegan and vegetarian options as well (but best check with the Hosts before booking). Our tour guide (Trang / Pink) was fun to be around, and she handled our bunch of 20ish folks quite well.

The workshop was very interactive and practical, not just watching or listening. mu host, Luka, took the time to explain the nitty-gritty of Vietnamese coffee making, from techniques to small details that you’d never notice otherwise. His knowledge is impressive, and he explains things in a very clear, approachable way. I was the only participant, but the team still ran the session fully and made sure I got the complete experience. Luka was cheerful throughout and genuinely happy to share his knowledge in detail, which made the whole experience feel personal. The space itself is spotless, well-organised, and equipped with modern, high-quality equipment, which adds a lot to the experience. Highly recommended whether you’re a coffee lover or just curious about Vietnamese coffee culture.
