5.00From the pickup at the hotel in Hanoi to the return trip, the tour was expertly planned by operator Helen. Throughout the entire tour, the verdant surroundings were calm and pleasant. The tour of the traditional villages was fascinating, and taking a swim in the chilly cold spring blue water and the sight of Ban Gioc waterfalls was breathtaking. Guide Binh/Bee was fantastic; He took the time to explain things and made sure we enjoyed the local food. Overall, worthwhile.
Amazing Cao Bang

5.00We had an amazing experience on our tour of Cao Bang. Our easy riders were so kind, and they were great riders so we felt very safe at all times. They adjusted the itinerary so we had the best experience in visiting places when they were not busy. We were the only boat on the lake at Ban Gioc Waterfall! The food was fabulous. Comfortable accommodation. We LOVED it. Highly recommend.
Vietnam, when it grabs us by the gut.

5.00A magnificent scooter ride in easy rider mode. The landscapes are simply fantastic, a blend of majestic nature and human work. The scooter allowed us to closely feel the atmosphere and the landscapes, as well as to put ourselves in the shoes of a Vietnamese, for whom this is the most common means of transportation. A big thank you to our guides and drivers who have always been very attentive and professional. They were able to adapt our itinerary and propose visits that meet our interests.
Great

5.00The 3 Days and 2 Nights trip in Cao Bang with OHC-Travel was incredible. Besides all the sights that you can find in the region like the Angle Eye Mountain, the Ban Gioc Waterfalls and the Ha Lang the experience driving through an incredible Landscape, swimming in remote places and eating traditional food made trip very special. The Drivers were super nice an tried to interact with us alot. When something was needed the leader Peter tried to make it possible. During the trip we met other groups as well and it felt like we were definetly in the right one. Totally recommend the trip!
