Excellent tour, well organized with a delicious lunch. The guide Chocolate was very nice and helpful and provided a lot of information, as well as took good care of the group. The attractions were amazing, definitely worth seeing. Everything was included in the price. Highly recommended!

Found the experience with action in the morning and boat trip in the afternoon very successful. In addition, the whole team was very attentive and the people who had booked were also a great troupe. I felt in very good hands.

The overall experience was awesome . The places are incredible pieces of art created by nature but the way the organiser arranged it made it so much better . The lunch with traditional Vietnamese food was simple but tasteful and elegant , mindfully made for each one of the group . We ended with a traditional rice wine drink and felt truly a part of the local community rather than mere tourists . Special mention our tour guide , nicknamed Chocolate . Next time i promise to pronounce your name right.
