“We had an awesome time in a small group with our guide Mike. All the activities were very well planned and definitively worth a visit. Also the drive through the region provided spectacular views. Both accomodations at local villages were very authentic but still clean and with some degree of comfort. We really enjoyed travelling a bit off the beaten path including boat rides, trekking and exploring the northeast of Vietnam. We really recommend this tour without reservations.”
