It was such an amazing experience to see the countryside and get a different experience of Vietnam. The homestay was so nice to stay at with a beautiful view. The homecooked meals were also very tasty. The highlight of the tour is the bamboo rafting and lunch, exploring the local market (not on the itinerary but a bonus), the cooking class, spending time with the locals and the buffalo. Would highly recommend this tour and they are constantly communicating via whatsapp so you know what is happening and easy to communicate with.
Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful experience with us. We're delighted to hear that the tour gave you the opportunity to discover a different side of Vietnam through its peaceful countryside and authentic local life. It's great to know that you enjoyed the homestay, the beautiful views, and the home-cooked meals, which are all an important part of the experience we hope to offer. We're especially happy that the bamboo rafting, cooking class, local market visit, and the chance to spend time with local people became such memorable highlights of your trip. It’s also rewarding to hear that our communication throughout the tour helped you feel informed and well supported every step of the way. Thank you again for your kind recommendation. We truly appreciate your trust and hope to welcome you back for another unforgettable journey in Vietnam. Divi Travel.
Our family of four, including two kids of 5 and 8, really had a great time with Divi Travel during our 3D2N trip in Pu Luong, with transfer from and to Hanoi. We chose Pu Luong as an alternative to Sapa and loved it: The beautiful nature, the kind people (incl guides), the homestays and the programme in small groups. The organisation was also impeccable with a fast response rate and being able to add an extra night and programme day last minute due to the cancellation of other plans we had. In addition to the breathtaking walks and cycle trips in the rice fields and nature, we really appreciated seeing the crafts and learning more about the culture and way of living. Would recommend this trip to anyone. Definitely one of if not the highlight of our trip ❤️
Thank you so much for your thoughtful review. We’re really happy to hear that your family had such a lovely experience during your time in Pu Luong. It’s wonderful to know that you enjoyed not only the scenery and outdoor activities, but also the chance to learn more about the local culture, crafts, and daily life in the villages. We’re especially glad that the small-group atmosphere and the homestay experience helped make the trip feel more personal and relaxing for your family. Hearing that both the adults and the children enjoyed the walks, cycling, and time in nature truly means a lot to us. We also appreciate your kind words about the organization and communication throughout the trip. Being able to quickly arrange changes and support our guests when plans shift is something we always try our best to do, so we’re very pleased that everything worked out smoothly for you. Thank you again for your recommendation and for trusting our team with part of your Vietnam journey. We hope to welcome your family back again in the future ❤️ Divi Travel
Everything was perfect. Both the accommodation and the activities were really quality with beautiful scenery and fabulous discoveries with the locals that allowed us to enter a little into their lives. I would like to make a special mention to the team that took care of us. From the care in Hanoi by Wendy who showed magnificent energy to put us in the bath and help us if needed throughout the stay. Passing by our driver in Pu Luong who showed great kindness. To conclude with our two guides Nga and Hoa who shared their knowledge with us with a smile and kindness. Authenticity all around us. This is what we found during these 3 beautiful days.

We had an amazing time on this tour! Our guide Nga was so knowledgeable and kind, and she did an incredible job at handling both large and small groups, teaching us about the ways and lives of local people. She went above and beyond in our cooking class to accommodate my food restrictions. She was personable, kind, and witty. Would recommend to others! 😁

Well organised tour to less touristy part of Vietnam. Homestay was very nice, and a good mixture of relaxing and activities. Would recommend, especially if you are interested in seeing rural village life
Pu Luong Tours were amazing. The whole 3 days were magical. Really immersive into the different Vietnamese cultures. We even got to view the rice harvest and have lunch with a wonderful family. Would totally recommend to everyone. Nga and Sunny our tour guides were so kind and informative. Thank you for this experience!
