Thanks so much to Ms Luong Local Tours Vietnam and our guide Dinh Hà for a wonderful trip to Pu Luong and Ninh Bính - the scenery and walks spectacular, all activities wonderful and Dinh Hà catered for our age and level of fitness - she was a pleasure to be with always ensuring we were well looked after - Mr Nhat at the Pu Loung Eco Garden also ensured ( constantly ) that we were well fed and comfortable in our lodge - our only thoughts were that we should have spent at least 2 nights in Pu Loung . We’d had a trip up Tam Coc 14 years ago with hard sell embroidery items- this Sampan boat trip much more enjoyable and happy to tip our lovely rowing lady ! Can’t wait to visit again

In October 2023 we visited Vietnam and did a Pu Luong tour which was fantastic. We got to really experience the Vietnam rural life and the beautiful countryside. The tour was wonderfully organized and no detail was missed, the food, accommodation and activities were all perfect. Truong was our guide during this tour, he made it unforgettable, he is the nicest and kindest! This was for sure the highlight of our trip.
Highly recommended experience

Well organised tour, lots of information with informative tour guide. A great family experience. Prepare yourself for muddy shoes if going in September, pack yourself some water for the hikes, sunscreen, a hat and wear shoes with good grip. Humidity slowed us down alittle. Great experience from the accommodation, set menu not to everyone's liking, but enjoyed it. Special thanks to guides John and Thond
