    Long car rides but the homestays were worth it. Tour guide was attentive without being overbeing and extremely friendly. Was proactive and took car of everything without asking.

    Our main aim to take this tour was to see Ba Be Lake and the National park & we only had a short time to do it. Day 1 of the tour was a bit of a waste of time. Both the Gate of Monsters and the Dong Khe monument is not really worth the trip. The falls however were stunning and were worth the long travel times. In hindsight, I would have sourced another tour that spent more time at the lake and the national park as they were truly beautiful. Accommodation at the home stays were lovely in particular the home stay in the village on day 1. Due to the long travel times there wasn't a lot of opportunity for swimming or hiking.

    Great to see a glimps of the 'off-the-beaten-track' North Vietnam. The incensive village was wonderfull. The Ban Gioc Falls somewhat dissapointing because you don't get to see the perspective you see in all the photo's. For that perspective, you need the Chinese side, which was unfortunately not accessible...

    We loved the tour, and our guide made it so incredible! My girlfriend and I (both from USA) were joined by three Germans and had a great time learning about the local Vietnamese people, food, and history. The home stays make this particularly interesting since we stayed with the locals and were able to better understand the culture and enjoy truly authentic food at every meal. Our only compliant is that it wasn’t clear just how much of this tour is spent driving. We probably spent a total of 6-8 hours per day, for 3 days, in a van driving. This is essentially a window tour, so be prepared for that! Again we loved it, but having a small group certainly helped since there was good conversation for entertainment in the multi-hour drives between historic or cultural stops. I don’t think I’d have enjoyed this tour so much if I were a solo traveler or if I got car-sick easily.

    I am writing about my three-day-two-night tour of Ban Giac waterfalls and Ba Be lake. As advertised - it was an adventure. Both the places are exquisitely beautiful places and when combined with the "home-stay", it was an experience of a lifetime for me. My only complaint is that I wish I could have spent more time at each of the locations. The drive and the time spent on the mini-bus was unfortunately much longer than I had expected. We were driving through these extraordinarily scenic areas and it was such a shame that we did not have the time to stop and hike for an hour or so. But then, that is what happens when one wants to see far flung places in a very limited amount of time. It was wonderful to meet the "home-stay" hosts, and all the people I was traveling with. The food was delicious. Being vegetarians, the offerings were limited, but we understood that meat is a staple part of the diet and set our expectations accordingly. Over all a superb trip. The only thing I would recommend changing is to improve the transportation to a more luxury type vehicle considering the time we spend on the mini-bus.
