Emails to and from the company when organising and booking were friendly and helpful. The sights were absolutely stunning, every day there were several Wow moments. We had a guide and driver and a large van for just the 2 of us, so we were very comfortable. Accommodation was good, hotels on a couple of the nights and 2 nights at homestays. All meals were included and they catered well for hubby who doesn’t eat meat. We really enjoyed our trip and would highly recommend this company.

We did a 2 night 3 day trek to Pu Luong with homestays and plenty of walking. Our guide, Huy, did a great job looking out for our safety, providing insight and information and generally creating a fun time. Our driver was safe and friendly too! The homestay with Mr. Nam was a true highlight and the scenery was amazing! If Sapa is a little too far or too touristy this trip is for you!

This trip was an excellent adventure from someone who usually likes to do their own thing. From the moment we left Hanoi my friend and I knew it was the right tour company for our style of travelling which is laid back and relaxed .... we were given interesting local information, saw some amazing scenery, ate different types of food, and most importantly had lots of fun and laughs along the way.
