Wonderful!!!
Despite some misunderstandings in the itinerary that Victor ( the tour guide) solved perfectly, I had a wonderful trip. I could finally experience a bike ride in Viet Nam thanks to him. Victor was furthermore very attentive, flexible and knowledgeable and from a great company with great staff. It is visible that he likes this part of Viet Nam. I got to immerse myself in stunning views and nice and at times a bit challenging treks. Luckily Victor is there to lend a hand ( literally). The local people I have met during the hiking were friendly and welcoming, which made the trip even more memorable. The accommodations were wonderful and I was so happy that both my rooms had a mosquito-net, as mosquitos love me. If you are looking for an active couple of days in tranquil areas, I highly recommend this tour.

Fantastic trips in the north of Vietnam
My husband and I had an amazing time exploring Da Bac, Mai Chau and Pu Luong with our guide, Chi! She was very knowledgeable and friendly, always taking the time to explain things clearly and share fascinating insights about the local life and culture. She was also polite and took good care of us. The trip began with a short hike through the Dao villages, with a few stops along the way. Next days we had cycling trips to discover around. We went through many rice fields and knew much more about Vietnamese cultures and some unique insights about minor groups in the north of Vietnam. By the end it was so hard to part ways after sharing such a memorable experience together. We definitely recommend to anyone visiting the area. Thank you Chi for a most wonderful experience!
