Highly recommended! - Review: This was my first time in Vietnam, and attending the agarwood workshop was an unforgettable experience. The workshop not only highlights the incredible work of nature in creating these precious gifts but also showcases the expertise and patience required to carve agarwood into something truly special. After having tea in the tea room, we share for a vegan lunch with the employees. It was like eating with a wonderful group of friends. The care and love reflects in the thoughtful spread and fresh ingredients. Their tofu is the best I have had till date - soft and silky. I would like to make a special mention to Luka, my guide, who was absolutely amazing. He says, I was his first tourist, but you’d never guess it. Luka was punctual, spoke excellent English, and made communication seamless, enhancing the overall experience. If I hadn’t already planned and booked my other activities , I would have definitely arranged them through Uptravels.

Fascinating - I was amazed by the way they do things in the company. From the interior to food and most especially to the way they applied buddism on their everyday life. The agarwood tour is very educational as well and they shared really good information.
