Unforgettable experience from start to finish; amazing guides went above and beyond! - Our trip to Cao Bang was beyond exceptional, and it's all thanks to our wonderful guides, Lục Việt and Minh Tuấn. From the moment we arrived, they took care of every detail, making our journey to Ban Gioc Waterfalls and beyond both seamless and memorable. After a long 6-hour drive from Hanoi and a scenic 4-hour motorbike ride from Cao Bang, we reached the stunning Ban Gioc Waterfalls, located right on the Vietnam-China border. The views were absolutely breathtaking, and what made the experience even more special was the peaceful solitude—almost no other tourists around, allowing us to fully enjoy the natural beauty in a tranquil, untouched setting. Lục Việt and Minh Tuấn were fantastic. They not only ensured our safety on the motorbike rides but also managed every aspect of the trip. From organizing transportation from Hanoi to securing a cozy homestay, they handled it all. They went above and beyond, sharing hidden spots in Cao Bang that only locals know about and introducing us to delicious local dishes that we wouldn’t have discovered otherwise. Although we only spent 2 days and 1 night in Cao Bang, we left with a treasure trove of unforgettable memories. The beauty of this place is unparalleled, and we’re already looking forward to returning. If you're considering a trip to Cao Bang, do yourself a favor and book with Lục Việt and Minh Tuấn—they’ll make sure your experience is safe, smooth, and filled with the magic of northern Vietnam. Can't wait to come back and explore more with them!

Ban Gioc and Cao Bang visit - This trip was absolutely amazing. I had seen pictures of Ban Gioc and Ba Be Lake and they don’t do the real things justice! The views were breathtaking and being around that much green space is so relaxing. I’d highly recommend these sites. My tour guide Viet was truly a joy to travel with! He’s extremely knowledgeable about the area and sites and was very flexible and amenable to small changes to help to make the visits as comfortable as possible.

100% Amazing and Authentic experience in Cao Bang ! - What an amazing experience in Cao Bang ! First, we were supposed to do Ha Giang Loop but the recent events made us change our plan to Cao Bang, and it was definitely the best thing that happens to us ! Cao Bang is still a very preserved area, where you will experience a 100% authentic experience in northern Vietnam. Viet and Thang was amazing guide and drivers, who did everything possible to adapt the trip according to our desires and to help us discover the region's specialties. If you are looking for a 100% authentic and amazing experience, just go to Cao Bang, you won’t regret it !

Tour Vietnam del Nord - Two fantastic days in northern Vietnam. The scooter trip allowed us to visit magnificent places and rural villages hidden and not yet contaminated by tourism. The guides were always very helpful and kind, especially Tuan was formidable. Highly recommended tour!
