We had such a great experience on this retreat! Our guides were so friendly and patiently answered all of our (many) questions. I appreciated all the different activities, the introduction to Buddhism concepts and meditation, and being able to have great conversation with our guides. I would highly recommend this experience if you visit Hanoi.

Having a full day meditation in a pagoda in Vietnam was a great experience. We had 8 full hours of different meditations. My guide was always there with me and provided guidance for each of them.

We did the 4 hour tour on our first day arriving in Hanoi and it was excellent. A really informative and interesting beginners guide to Buddhist teachings and meditation. Naya, our guide was excellent and very knowledgeable. Highly recommend this as a short escape from the bussle of Hanoi life.
