5.00Such an amazing trip, especially when guided by Luan!! All the attractions we saw were absolutely gorgeous and Luan had all the knowledge to any questions we had! The camping on the second night was definitely a highlight. The tents were spacious and comfortable, and the breeze off the lake meant that the night wasn’t too hot. Just perfect. Dinner with the locals was so fun, everyone we met on this trip was so friendly and fun! Plus, to wake up and see the beautiful Angel Eye mountain is a memory I will cherish forever. Thank you Luan for an unforgettable trip, and to Mr Son for being the best driver!!! We love you guys!!!

1.00Hands down, the worst trip of my life. I would only recommend this trip to Joe or Vlad, everyone else should stay away. Too many painful parts to fully describe.
Beautiful but very long!!!

3.00Pros—The itinerary was amazing!!! The pictures breathtaking!! Cons—Very long which is slow because of large bus size. Would recommend paying extra to have van ride which would have made it much faster due to vehicle and less people on tour which slows things down. The food was very repetitive would recommend the tour have more variety. Most of the tour was in Vietnamese with very little translated in English so didn’t feel included.
Stunning and memorable!

5.00This tour was so lovely and beautiful! The Ban Gioc waterfall was definitely the highlight and we were able to take a boat ride to get really close to it - so memorable. The drives were long, but the stunning scenery outside made it okay. Our tour guide was brilliant too, he made the long drives entertaining as he was so friendly, funny and knowledgeable! I came away with a whole bunch of new information about Vietnamese culture and the history.

5.00We had an amazing 3 day trip to Ban Gioc Waterfall and Ba Be Lake! We slept in homestay and met the locals. My family really enjoyed jumping into Ba Be Lake and enjoying a nice swim! Luan, our tour guide, was very friendly and knowledgeable. He did a great job to make it a memorable experience!
