Ban Gioc Waterfalls - A must do! Picturesque views of Cao Bang and trekking to the beautiful Ban Gioc Waterfall was most definitely worth it. The experience was made all the more better by our amazing and friendly tour guide Viet.

Anthony was astounding - Anthony was a great person to work with. We could not even make this tour due to difficulty obtaining a visa. Anthony took the time out of his day to try and help us expedite the process. He sent us multiple places and even when he exhausted all the options gave us a full refund. I am so sorry that I could not do this tour with him but I will be back to do it in the future
