        Stunning impressive Falls, Heaven Mountain. My 2 favorite ones. As well the Cave & Temple are very unique 😊
        Amazing Dream Tour Friends, Falls were Stunning Beautiful. Weather was Great, we took the Boat. My Super Guide & Driver were so friendly & Great Knowledge, Very Good & Safe Driver. We went to the Cave also. Another Dream Place was the Mouintain we went today, I haven't seen most beauty, you feel like heaven. The Temple was very impressive also. I strongly recommend you to take this tour as soon as you arrive to Hanoi 😊

        Perfect 2 days in the mountains, despite recent landslides
        Went on the first tour after reopening from the damage caused by typhoon Yagi. Despite this, the tour was organised superbly, with no issues or changes in the transport or itinerary. The areas of the trek that were affected by landslides were navigated safely or provided an efficient detour. The tour guide, Khu Sapa, was very helpful with providing information along the way and answering all the questions that were had. The Homestay was very clean and comfortable and the reopening celebration with the members of the tour guide company in the evening was a joyful experience.

        Great two day trip to Sa Pa.
        I decided to take a two-day trip to Sa Pa. Despite the nearby storm Yagi, we were lucky with the weather, the trek exceeded my expectations. The guide Mu was smiling, she always asked how I was feeling, all praise for her. The accommodation was great, also the staff, the food was excellent. I recommend!

        Rainy but beautiful
        Our guide Cat was very helpful and friendly, and the locations we visited in Sa Pa were beautiful. Unfortunately there was heavy rain while we were there which curtailed a few of the treks, but Cat kept us safe and well informed throughout. The homestay itself was well equipped and very picturesque and the food at the restaurant was tasty. For booking this tour you should know that the part from Hanoi to Sapa is not guided, so make sure to get Google translate or another translation app on your phone to make sure you understand the rest stop instructions (e.g. toilets) and to communicate with the driver if needed. Also if it is raining make sure to pack your belongings in rain covers as otherwise they will get wet, there isn’t anywhere to leave bags out of the rain when transferring initially from the small to the large coach in Hanoi. All in all, this tour was excellent and good value for money despite the rain throwing some curveballs, and the location is well worth visiting with its beautiful rice terraces and mountains.

        One of the best experience in the North of Vietnam
        The tour was very impressive despite the rain. The landscape is beautiful, the people super friendly and accommodating. The homestay was amazingly comfortable in its simplicity, shower was very hot Luggage was transported. Our guide Zizi was very very friendly, always answered all our questions patiently, her English was excellent! We would come again and hike with Zizi. Rarely have we met such a lovely person!

        Underestimated destinations
        Great The guide and the drivers are very welcoming . We have 2 drivers, 1 English speaking guide, a van with 11~14 seats for 5 tourists. No shopping. The destinations are really underestimated, and not much developed with tourism facilities (however the public restrooms are all clean and well equipped)

        Super Sapa with Su
        Su was very kind and helpful throughout our Sapa the trip. Though the itinerary was quite tiring - we thoroughly enjoyed the trip 👌 The views were stunning, and we got to see and experience the day-to-day lives of the people in the area.

      The trip was great. My family got picked up by a limousine bus there and back. The boat belonged to Genesis tour company, and it was in a great state. The food was good, the atmosphere. My family enjoyed a lot. The staff member, Steven, was very responsive and flexible to all my questions and inquiries on tours. My family did 2 tours with them: Mai Chau (wasn't great) and Halong Bay (was great)
      However, he was unprofessional at times. He mentioned that I was beautiful (without actually seeing my picture) and my voice was great after sending him a voice message and despite saying that it was unprofessional he didn't stop :( Otherwise, I would totally recommend the tour.

      My favourite part of the trip was Luan, the tour guide. He was an exceptional guide and made the whole experience better than expected.
      The views are amazing, weather permitting.

      Excellent tour guide, Mr. John! He can speaks english well and humorous. It was a fun trip in Ha Long Bay. He is very helpful. When we have trouble reaching back to Hanoi to take bus to Sapa, he helped us to make arrangements just to get us back on time for picking up the bus. I would recommend him to anyone who wants to find tour guide in Vietnam.
