Good private tour to get outside the busy city to a local village and see how a traditional Vietnamese hat is made. Tour starts with a great pho breakfast and then a motorbike ride to the outskirts. Stop to visit a local pagoda (really amazing place) and a quick stop for some coconut. Seeing the lady making the hat was a cool experience but I did feel like she had no idea why we came to see her. Overall it was a good experience. (Motorbike ride took us through great scenery)
