Trang took me and my daughter to discover the numerous Artisan Villages around Hanoi. Although many of the villages were deserted due to a lack of tourism Trang did her best to find something of interest in each village. While traveling from village to village Trang provided us with the history of each village and its importance in Vietnamese culture. I can highly recommend Trang as your tour guide in North Vietnam.

See my review of Trang and the Duong Lam Ancient Villages 5 stars there too. This day was rainy and chilly. Trang made every effort to keep us dry and found alternate places on the fly to keep us from getting wet.
