Fabulous, scenic and well organised tour was our lovely guide Dat (David)

Very scenic countryside, which is a true gem of North East Vietnam. We had a terrific guide and would like to thank Dat (David) for the tour, we seen a Pagoda, the beautiful waterfall, a fabulous cave, a temple and the Angel’ eye. Dat had excellent English skill, was very knowledgeable and friendly and a super nice person. Everything was well organised. Highly recommend the tour and the guide.

2 days, 1 night, 3 people trip

Positive: Justin, guide was really nice and spoke really good English. You see a lot of the rural Vietnam: green fields until the horizon, little mountains, working people on the fields.. also the waterfall is quite nice. The food was local and good. Neutral: you have to drive a long way. From Hanoi is about 6h by car. But it's the only way to get there. Negativ: like in the other comments before, the beds in the accommodation were really really hard. It felt like we were sleeping on the floor with just a blanket under us. For one night it was durable for us, but you should consider in advance.
