5.00I had an unforgettable private motorbike and walking tour through Pu Luong with Huy as my guide. From the start, he was incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and passionate about his homeland. He navigated both the roads and trails with ease, taking me to hidden spots I’d never find on my own—lush rice terraces, quiet villages, and scenic viewpoints.
Great tour!

5.00We had a fantastic tour with Quoc in the beautiful nature reserve of Pu Long! Everything was spectacular from the included lunch at stunning location to the tour of the bay cave and afternoon tea. The locals were incredibly friendly and welcoming and made us feel at home. Quoc is very knowledgeable about the area and kept us both entertained and informed. I HIGHLY recommend this tour for anyone looking for a special experience in Vietnam. You’ll be absolutely knackered by the end but it’ll be well worth it !
What beautiful terraced rice fields!

5.00It’s great to experience an area without bus loads of people around you. We watched farmers harvesting their rice & local villagers going about their daily lives.. The views of the whole area are amazing (especially from the lunch spot). The cave was impressive & our guide from the local area was so knowledgeable & friendly -he made it such a memorable experience! It’s a 4 hour drive each way from Hanoi but well worth it!
Peaceful and unforgettable

5.00My time with Pu Luong Excursions was short, but it left a deep impression. The beauty of the landscape, the warmth of the people, and the quiet moments in nature made this trip truly special. Everything was well arranged, simple yet meaningful. I’ll remember it for a long time.

5.00I did a 3 day tour with Quoc Han and I really enjoyed it. We did on day a hiking tour between the rise fields. We locked how the women weaving and tried to do it to. Second day we did a 45 kilometre motorcycle tour and visited a family, trinket tee and happy water! We explored a deep cave and enjoyed a bath in a waterfall. Third day we went to a river and looked for the water wheels and the bamboo boots and did a beautiful hiking trip. I felt very safe, happy and had a great time with my guide. He gave me a lot of information about the country and people.
Nice overall tour with improvement points

4.00Pick up was well organized but the bus was not in a good condition. The drive was very very rough felt like we hit every bump on the road. The first rest stop was okay, Local restaurant with very limited options. The first hike down to the cave was very beautiful though, small local village and great explanations by our guide. We were completely alone in the cave so that was really nice. Lunch was not good, as a vegetarian I was served plain rice and a little bit of salad to share with the group. The table next to us clearly had more vegetables and tofu so there were options available, but not in this tour apparently. With the price I would have expected a better choice at lunch. The second hike was really nice too, along villages and rice fields, great background info and nice chats with our guide, he did a fantastic job. The bike ride was a bit shorter than expected, only 5-10 minutes but overall alright. Overall the tour was nice but in my opinion not worth the high price compared to other tours.
Worth it

5.00If you want to experience Sapa landscape in a less touristic area and don’t have time to spend 2 days there, this is your tour. I’ts intense and many hours of travel but worth it!
