Stunning scenery

It was amazing to see the waterfall right on the border between Vientam and China. The view from the viewpoint was spectacular and the trip was totally worth it.

Awesome!!!

This was an amazing tour! The waterfalls of course were the highlight but the mountain and camping were unforgettable. Our tour guide Dat was amazing and explained everything so well, really paid attention to our likes/dislikes w food, taught us so much about culture and even taught us some simple words in Vietnamese. Our driver was very professional and got us everywhere on time. Would recommend!

A Perfect trip

If you want to escape the bustling streest of Hanoi, this tour is the perfect choice. Mountains, rice paddies, peaceful villages, and fresh air are everywhere. The scenery in Cao Bang province is incredibly serenne.

Authentic Rural Experience

I loved visiting the small villages and learning about daily life in northern Vietnam. The homestay dinner with a local family was simple but delicious. It felt like a real cultural exchange rather than just a tourist trip

Worth Every Kilometer

It's a long driver from Hanoi, but the landscapes along the way are incredible. Ban Gioc Waterfall looks even more beautiful in real life than in photos. Our guide was friendly and explained local culture very well.
