The booking process was very easy. Ms. Cathy, the travel agent, was readily accessible and handled everything to our liking. The places visited were beautiful, everyone was very kind and polite. Tour guides were awesome. The only site that is not worth the time was the golden bridge because it’s part of an amusement park not an actual national landmark. I hadn’t known that prior to booking. Word of advice, always go for the 4star package.Show more

Our recent trip was a bit challenging because went during rainy weather, which limited our visit Ban Gioc Waterfall and Cao Bang. I think it's best to visit between Sepember to December when the waterfall is clearer and more beautiful. Our tour guide, Mr. Son, was very enthusiastic and knowledgeable. As for the driver, Tuan Anh, He was excellent - a skilled driver, especially on moutain roads. Regarding accommodation, we stayed at Sunny Hotel. It's a 3 star hotek, but being a 3-star in a mountainous region, it's understandably not a par with a 3-star hotel in the city. However, the roos were decent and clean. We had a buffet breakfast. I noticed that when there are fewer guests, the buffet offers fewer dishes, but when the hotel is crowed, there's a greater variety. The breakfast was quite good. Regarding the dining experience, I found that the restaurants arranged for us were modest but served delicious local moutain specialties, which suited our tastes well. Overall, we were completely satisfied with the quality of the service, despite the weather not being ideal. Thanks to Ms Jennie for support us on the trip. We will definiely recommend you to our friends.Show more
