5.00We had a great day on the full day Ban Gioc tour from Cao Bang, in fact it was my favourite day of my whole trip. Trung our local guide was amazing! He was very friendly and informative and took us around several amazing sites, explaining the history and culture. He kept us supplied with water and took us to a great local spot for a nice lunch. I would highly recommend this tour and Trung to anyone!

5.00Found this tour while searching on Google for tours going to Ban Gioc Waterfalls. I contacted the tour company on WhatsApp and they were quick to respond and kept in touch until the day of the tour. They had set itineraries of their tours but worked with us to only see the things that we were interested in for that day. Tuan was our tour guide. He was at our hotel to pick us up at the time we requested. His English wasn’t the best but he knew enough to communicate with us and he’s a great photographer. We are frequent travelers who like to explore on our own but we enjoyed this tour! Would highly recommend LV Travel and Tuan as your tour guide if you’re looking to explore the Cao Bang area or Ban Gioc Waterfalls.

5.00I had the most amazing full day with the perfect motor bike guide and rider, Viet! From the moment he picked me up with a big smile on his face we had a great time! He was a safe driver that had so much knowledge of the region! He knew so many people along the way! The waterfalls were spectacular! Taking a boat ride is a must to get close. Angel Eye mountain was breathtaking! I recommend sipping on a coffee to take in the view, then trek down to explore the valley. At all the locations you have plenty of time to walk around and enjoy everything! The Tiger caves were so refreshing and cool to beat the heat. And the stalactites and stalagmites were unbelievable! The day was absolutely wonderful! I highly recommend Viet as a guide!
Wonderful tour of the beautiful Cao Bang

5.00We loved our one day tour! Prompt pick up, safe drivers, plenty of stops for stretches and viewpoints. Our guide was very fun and informative, telling us lots about the history and culture of our stops. Our drivers were chatty, funny and we always felt safe. We saw the angel eye mountain, local village, waterfall, the lions cave and had a generous tasty lunch! We had plenty of time at each stop and our drivers/ guide were so accomodating. Cao bang is truly beautiful, 100% recommend. We wish we’d done another day and stayed at the home stay ❤️ Cảm ơn

5.00Our one-day tour with Viet and our driver was a fantastic full day out, exploring all that Cao Bang Geopark has to offer! We saw amazing views from the pagoda, and experienced the impressive waterfall and caves. Viet was really friendly and kind in answering our questions, sharing his local knowledge about agriculture and food, and made us feel really welcome with his warm sense of humour. Thank you for a great day!
