5.00We had the best time on the 2-night, 3-day Easy Rider tour with Quan and Khoa. From the moment we met them, they made us feel completely comfortable—both in the homestay and on the bikes. Their driving was safe and smooth, and we always felt well looked after. They shared so much interesting information about the local culture, history, food, and daily life, and they took us to places we never would have discovered on our own. Every stop felt thoughtful and meaningful, from scenic viewpoints to small local workshops and waterfalls. They also took incredible photos of us the whole way, capturing moments we’ll always remember. What stood out most was how kind, patient, and genuinely fun they were. Nothing was ever too much trouble, and they went above and beyond to make sure we were enjoying ourselves. The trip felt personal, authentic, and full of laughs. It was truly the highlight of our entire time in Vietnam, and we couldn’t recommend Quan and Khoa more highly.
Great trip to a part of Vietnam few have seen!

5.00Anthony took the best care of us from start to finish! It is a long drive from Hanoi but with rest stops, coffee breaks and photo opportunities the time flew by! All food we had was tasty and very plentiful! The overnight accommodation was comfy and clean! Angel Mountain and of course Ban Gioc waterfalls were indeed the highlights of this trip, but seeing this less visited part of Vietnam was truly amazing! So glad we did this trip! Thank you Ant!

5.00From Hanoi, the car took the group to the center of Cao Bang - where there was a bustling local market. Tour guide Linh explained each type of fruit and brocade. The car continued to weave through the villages to reach Ban Gioc waterfall. Here, the tour package includes rowing a boat and visiting Nguom Ngao cave. In the evening, there was a rustic BBQ party right on the riverbank, the tour guide also played the role of MC for the village's art performance."
Amazing tour of Cao Bang !

5.00The two‑day journey from Hanoi was long but incredibly rewarding. The scenic route through rice paddies, limestone hills, and rural villages set a beautiful tone. Our local guide was passionate and attentive, sharing folklore at each stop. The highlight was the thunderous Ban Gioc Falls by boat in near solitude—pure magic!
SIMPLY AMAZING!

5.00This 2-day tour to Ban Gioc Waterfall and Angel Mountain was truly a highlight of our Vietnam trip! From start to finish, everything was well-organized and professionally executed. The roundtrip transportation from Hanoi was smooth and comfortable, with a clean, air-conditioned car that made the long drive through the stunning Cao Bang Global Geo-Park enjoyable and scenic. Our guide, Anthony, was absolutely fantastic. He was not only friendly and welcoming, but also incredibly knowledgeable. He shared so much about Vietnam’s rich history and culture in a way that was engaging and easy to follow. His passion for the country truly came through, and he made the whole experience feel both educational and meaningful. He even surprised us with a short flute performance—he’s a bit of a showman and really added a personal touch to the trip! The homestay Anthony arranged was cozy, authentic, and comfortable—an ideal place to rest after a day of exploring. The meals provided were also delicious, featuring fresh local ingredients and generous portions. Visiting Ban Gioc Waterfall and Angel Mountain was breathtaking, and having entrance fees and the electric car ride to the waterfall included made everything so convenient. Huge thanks to Anthony for such a memorable, seamless adventure. Highly recommend this tour to anyone looking to experience the beauty and culture of Northern Vietnam with a guide who truly goes above and beyond!
