Me and my friend both agree that this trip was one of the highlights of our Vietnam trip. The drivers are extremely professional and fun to be around. We learned a lot about the culture and life of the people in the north and saw so much more than if we would have just driven ourselves.

Out of the typical Vietnam tours Very good introduction to the culture of Northern Vietnam. A great alternative for the classical Hanoi to Saigon trips. Great tour leader, very knowledgeable, dedicated and professional.

While I liked the trip, I found the age and fitness differences of the group difficult. It was advertised as hiking trip yet some people in the group struggled with gentle walks. I’ve had tours with other companies before and found i was with more like-minded people. I know it’s difficult to arrange, but it would be good to have an idea of who you are going to travel with for the best possible experience.

Our first plan after leaving Hanoi was to visit Ha Giang. Although the best way to visit this area is to drive a motorbike, we were not sure about it because we did not do it before. So in Ha Giang, we had a two-day road trip with motorbikes with the guides - the riders. He shared with us about the ethnic minorities living there and their traditions and customs. So worth a visit!
