Unforgettable Journey With an Exceptional Guide and Hospitatility. - Trung is a wonderful tour guide! He was enthusiastic and knowledgeable from the start to the end! The itinerary was seamless - always on time and ahead of other tour groups and we never felt rushed once. Our guide had many local insights. I am truly grateful for this experience I got to share with my mom and Trung! - Hili Trung, thank you for making our Cao Bang trip very enjoyable. You are a wonderful tour guide. Thank you for driving safely while showing us beautiful places of Northern Vietnam. - Girlie Quan was extremely hospitable and helpful from the 4:30am pick up to the 9:00pm drop off. We are vegetarian and he made sure to have the in-house chef prepare a hot vegetarian meal ready for us when we got back from the all day trip. It was delicious! Thank you so much for making this trip memorable. - Hili Quan, thank you for on time pick up /drop off, nice and comfortable home stay, and one of the best vegetarian meals we have ever had. I appreciate the hospitality. Thank you! - Girlie

Experience beyond expectations! - This trip was truly amazing from start to finish. The journey from Hanoi was long but comfortable, with beautiful scenery along the way. Visiting the local villages gave me a real glimpse into the peaceful countryside life — everyone was so kind and welcoming. The highlight, of course, was Ban Gioc Waterfall — breathtakingly beautiful! Standing there and watching the water flow between Vietnam and China felt surreal. Our guide Mr.Tu was knowledgeable, patient, and caring throughout the trip. When we returned the home stay Anthony entertained us with a flute. The local dishes were delicious. Highly recommended. Thanks.

Amazing trip to Cao Bang - We had an amazing experience in Cao Bang. Anthony and Quin were great guides, and we were given plenty of time to take in the breathtaking views around Angel Eye Mountain and Ban Gioc Waterfall. The homestay is also very clean and comfortable, and the food provided was delicious. We would definitely recommend this to anyone looking for a less touristy way to experience northern Vietnam

Best day trip to Ban Gioc ❤️ - We had an absolutely wonderful day filled with unique local experiences — from traditional paper making to watching the fascinating process of glass noodle preparation. The true highlights were the breathtaking Ban Gioc Waterfall and the mesmerizing Ngườm Ngao Cave, both leaving us in awe of nature’s beauty. 🌿✨ Our guide, Sen, was warm, friendly, and deeply knowledgeable — it truly felt like exploring with a local friend. A heartfelt 10/10 to Anthony and Sen for curating such a memorable and meaningful journey for us. ❤️

A great experience. - It was great to see Vanzok Falls for myself. It was so much more powerful than what I saw in the photos and I was really impressed by the splash. In addition to the waterfalls, I was also taken to caves and mountains with holes. It was a lot of fun to travel by motorbike to the mountains. They took me to places I didn't see in any Japanese guidebook. This tour is packed full of exciting and fun experiences, which I highly recommend. Our guides, Anthony and Kwon, were also very kind. Despite the language barrier, they used the app to talk a lot while we were on the move, and we had a great time. I had really good memories of this tour. Thank you very much.

Offbeat destination of Vietnam - lifetime worth experience to Cao Bang. Amazing Ban Gioc waterfall, Nguum Ngao Caves👌👌 - The trip was great from the start to the end. The co-ordination for the entire trip was managed well by Anthony. Tian who was with us throughout the day made sure we had a great time. The time we spent at the Ban Gioc waterfall and the Nguom Ngao caves was leisurely and not rushed which we liked. Our vegetarian food choice was also catered to well. To top it all off Anthony himself cooked dinner for us which was a very sweet and kind gesture!

Super tour, definitely recommended! - Very nice tour that takes you to surprising places. You are really taken into local life. The food is well arranged and the tour guide was very helpful. We had some extra questions, such as transport from cao bang to ha giang, luggage storage in Hanoi, our laundry had to be done etc. And everything we were helped with excellently. The waterfall is beautiful, the cave is impressive and the villages are very nice to visit.
