From pick-up to drop off we were in good hands with Chocolate and Buffalo. She was full of energy and very friendly. We were even able to store our 2 huge bags at their hotel in Phong Nha. The lunch of local food was very tasty. We got lucky and had almost no ppl in the places we visited. All in all a great experience.

It was raining really heavily and phong nha cave was flooded so wasn’t an option. The company offered us an alternative of paradise cave and commander cave which was the cave used by the American army during the Vietnam war. Fabulous VR experience included and was a great alternative experience. Paradise cave was wonderful. I’ve been to a lot of caves around the world previously, but I really think this was the best I’ve ever visited.

It was a really nice tour with Chocolate. She explained everything very good in a good understandable english and also provided raincoats to us because of the heavy rain. I recommend this tour to everyone who would like to visite the caves and see a bit of the beautiful vietnam nature. Next time I visit vietnam I will do the multiday tour here.
