A tour adds a guide who can translate and explain, and avoids haggling with the many unofficial guides at village entrances. Look for products that include hands-on time at a loom or wheel, and check pick-up areas.

Booking tips
- Guides at the gate. At Sade and Ende a villager will guide you; agree the donation first.
- Shopping. Textiles are sold everywhere along the route; prices vary hugely. Handwoven pieces take weeks to make — buy fewer, better pieces.
- Photos. Ask before photographing people, especially inside houses.
