The tour was amazing. I ended up being the only person on it, so it felt like a private experience. The tour guide explained everything really well, picked me up, helped me get on the night bus, and another tour guide picked me up again afterwards. I still had some time left when I arrived, so I managed to take a quick nap, which was needed. The whole area is incredibly peaceful, and the roads are scenic. You can stop whenever you want to take photos, and there’s plenty of time to enjoy everything without feeling rushed. We had food stops and visited different interesting places like the old paper-making workshop, the cave, the pagoda, and then the waterfall. Huge…
I booked this trip with the goal to see both the Angel Eye Mountain and the Ban Gioc waterfall, and this trip did not disappoint! Quan, my guide for the day, was so helpful and attentive - he explained everything clearly and was very encouraging to a photoshoot! As I was the only guest on this trip, I had a private tour of various sites, including some off the beaten path which were stunning. Quan showed me the beauty of the Cao Bang region; he made my trip all the more enjoyable! The Homestay and the buses were comfortable, and the contact on WhatsApp was always available. Definitely book this trip if you have some spare days in Hanoi and…
We really enjoyed this experience! Trip was very well organized, we saw all the important attractions without hurry. We were also able to customize our trip as per our needs, which we really appreciated. Our guide Quan have a lot of knowlage about the local traditions and people as well as shared some more general information about Vietnam with us. He was also very nice and helpful- I have left my toiletry bag in sleeper bus and he helped me get it back, so we felt taken care of :) And the food during the whole trip was amazing. We really recommend this trip!
