Absolutely the best tour we had in Vietnam. Anthony picked us up from our hotel in Hanoi on time and we had a nice drive to the village in Cao Bang. We slept in bamboo house and the food was yummy. You must try the bananas from their banana tree, the best bananas I've ever had. We also enjoyed playing with the dog and the cat. That was a true village life experience. The next day Quan took us to a village where people produce handmade paper. We were able to take part of the production and to experience it ourselves. Beautiful village people, always smiling and welcoming. We also went to see the Angel Eye Mountain. It's is such a beautiful place, I highly recommend you to stay there a couple of days. The whole trip to the Ban Gioc Waterfall made my eyes happy - amazing mountains and canna lilly fields. We could see how they make noodles and they dry them on the sun. Magnificent sights. The Ban Gioc Waterfall is another story - powerful, beautiful, amazing to see. The fourth largest waterfall in the world. In the water, you cross the border between Viet Nam and China. The physical border is less than 1km from the waterfall and on the other side, on Chinese territory, there is a glass bridge you can climb and walk on. However, as it was not planned with the tour we had, we were not able to experience that. I believe you can discuss this opion with Anthony and Quan. After that we went to the Tiger cave. I learned that Vietnam used to have tigers roaming in the forests up till end of 90s. The legend says that one tiger was living in thas cave. It was the most beautiful and largest cave in ever seen up to that point. It is 1.4km long, however do not be afraid, it feels like you've walked only 300m. Most of the time there was no one in the cave just us, which made it more relaxing experience than the cave in Halong Bay. Quan was very friendly, honest and polite. He could answer all my question related to the Vietnamese culture and customs, and he would turn serious topics into fun. I had the best laugh when he was explaining their marriage related customs in the past and now. We returned to the village around 7:30pm, had yummy dinner and went back to Hanoi by sleeper bus. I highly recommend this whole tour to anyone. You will enjoy it if you like village life and nature. The only thing that I believe needs an improvement is the price/itinerary. It was not stated in the description of the itinerary that the not all meals are covered, as well as the trip from Hanoi to Cao Bang is not covered, and we had to pay extra approx $220 AUD. However, it was absolutely worth! 😊
The excursion and accommodation were excellent. All the places we visited were beautiful, and the staff serving us did a great job. They did a great job, and the guide on the Ban Gioc waterfall excursion was fantastic. They're all very friendly. 100% recommended. Agur amigos (Adiós Friends). Marta Y Óscar, from basque country

beautiful region, great food, friendly people, the journey is very long but Anthony is a great guide, we were lucky with the weather
Had the best time in Cao Bang with Anthony and his team. We explored the Dong Nguom Ngao Caves and the Ban Gioc Waterfalls. We had great food and many stops along the way. Would definitely recommend!
A must do! Picturesque views of Cao Bang and trekking to the beautiful Ban Gioc Waterfall was most definitely worth it. The experience was made all the more better by our amazing and friendly tour guide Viet.
I had a two-day trip with In. He’s helpful and nice. The natural landscape is stunning and we just couldn’t help ourselves keep asking him to stop over for taking photos. Haha ! He’s a good photographer and a nice tour guys. Worth joining the tour !
Anthony was a great person to work with. We could not even make this tour due to difficulty obtaining a visa. Anthony took the time out of his day to try and help us expedite the process. He sent us multiple places and even when he exhausted all the options gave us a full refund. I am so sorry that I could not do this tour with him but I will be back to do it in the future
Very nice day cruise. Very good value for money for everything the activity included. What to do if you want a beautiful day in HALONG Bay.
Tour is really cool, the activities were fun and the scenery is amazing. BUT the experience was made so much BETTER because we had Anthony (An) as a guide. Soft spoken local guy with a great smile! cảm ơn bạn
We had a wonderfull experience with Anthony. He speaks very well english and he is always ready to serve and help you with information. He aims to please. Good knowledge, great people skills. Highly recommended.
