Great adventure
This tour was a perfect introduction to rural Vietnam. We explored Da Bac, Mai Chau, and Pu Luong, each offering a unique glimpse into the local lifestyle and natural beauty. The homestays were comfortable and immersive. We had chance to connect with host families. Ms Lien always going the extra mile to ensure our experience was personalized. The trekking was manageable with waterfalls and traditional villages along the way.
