Quan was an incredible guide, great english and very knowledgeable. We had a great trip, shame about the rain at the waterfall but that can't be helped 😉 very well organised, easy way to visit Bam Gioc.

The VIP sleeper bus was a convenient way to travel. My friend and I thoroughly enjoyed exploring Cao Bang. Our guide Trung was very knowledgeable, professional, and kind. He drove us to so many amazing places. We loved seeing all the beautiful landscapes and enjoyed going to the waterfall and the paper making traditional village. The food included during the day trip was delicious. I highly recommend doing this excursion!

Quan was an excellent taxi driver and motor cycle driver. He helped me down the steps in the cave when I needed assistance. He is very kind, helpful, and knowledgeable.

Me and my girlfriend went on this trip. It ended up being just us for the whole event. We had Trung as our guide. He was a gentlemen and very knowledgeable. I forgot something at the homestay and with no fuss he returned to retrieve it. He helped us save money by showing us the bathrooms that do not charge to use them at certain venues. He helped take photos and showed us the best spots. I would highly recommend him as a tour guide to anyone.

This is the highlight of our trip to Vietnam. it was a very busy schedule but it is worth it. We went to many places including Ban gioc falls. Our guide Guan is very professional and knowlegeable of the history of vietnam. He is not only a very good tour guide he is also a great driver and photographer! highly recommend Guan and his crew when yoy visit Hanoi.

Our trip to Cao Bang with our guide Quan was great. Our guide Quan was great and answered all our questions, he was very friendly and we felt very safe on the roads with him. He also offered to take lots of photos of us at each of the landmarks. As for the tour it was great, we had a great time and discovered many hidden gems that we did not know were in Cao Bang. All aspects of the trip were well organised and we were also well fed for breakfast, lunch and dinner. There was a great range of local food and many vegetarian options. I would highly recommend booking this tour.

Quanc has been an excelente guide! He is such a sweet and attentive person, answering all our questions and taking us everywhere. It has been a pleasure to learn from the local culture from him and the different places he has taken us! His hospitality has been a big highlight of this trip, making sure we feel comfortable all the time, even cleaning our cutlery before eating to make sure we don’t fall sick. 100% recommended and a trust worthy person.
