Fantastic Private Hiking Mu Cang Chai - Fantastic experience in the rice fields of Mu Cang Chai. The organization was impeccable, with pickup and return tour directly to the hotel. Landscapes not very tirish and authentic, trekking among the most famous rice fields of Vietnam with routes between the villages of the local populations. Yien the guide was impeccable: perfect English, allowed us to explore the authenticity of the places and prepared us a great lunch with typical Vietnamese meals to eat directly in the rice fields! Experience highly recommended!

Trekking and cooking class - The accommodation and also the tours were incredibly great. In the morning we did a trek to the rice fields. Our guide, the son of the family, Yien and his wife as well as two dogs accompanied us and told us a lot about the culture and the landscape. It was very exciting and a unique experience. In the afternoon we were able to bake the traditional cake Pato. That too can only be recommended. It was a wonderful day and we can recommend it to anyone who wants to get to know the country away from the big tourist crowds.

Fantastic - I warmly recommend a hike with Yien/Mu Cang Chai Adventures. He is friendly, easy to talk with. Along the way, he learned us a lot about Hmong culture and surrounding nature. He adjusted the hike to what we wanted to do and this was followed by a very nice lunch with his wife who is also very friendly and excellent cook!

A unique experience - We did the tour with the buffalo – such a new and memorable experience! It was a really fun and original way to explore the beautiful rice fields. Our guide spoke excellent English and shared so much interesting information about the local culture and landscape. We also had breakfast and lunch with his family, who were incredibly kind and welcoming. This tour is a must if you're looking for something authentic in Mu Cang Chai!
