“We had a fantastic time as a family of 4 (two girls aged 12 & 14). It’s very authentic being in a family’s home. They were very patient and helped us make some amazing souvenirs and had a good old giggle at our attempts!. My husband would never normally do this but he really enjoyed it. It says it’s 20 mins but I think we spent well over an hour (maybe 90 mins) there by the time we’d made the pottery and then painted it. It was a simple and unexpected highlight of our Hoi An stay. Thank you.”

“les personnes étaient un peu perdus quand je suis arrivée. mais l'activité était très sympa, j'ai fait du tour de poterie et un objet en modelage. j'aurais aimé une visite de leur atelier et quelques explications sur leur travail. un tablier serait à fournir car j'avais plein de tâches. le village est très joli à visiter et il est au bord de la rivière”
