Traveler Reviews
The trip was great with fantastic guides that spoke excellent English. The highlight for us was cooking lunch with the old couple in their house. Nga and Eddie were fun to be with.
Cycling through Mai Chau in the afternoon was such a peaceful and enjoyable experience. The quiet roads and beautiful landscapes made it incredibly relaxing. As we rode along, we had the chance to meet several local residents. Everyone we encountered was kind, friendly, and welcoming. It made us feel instantly comfortable and connected. The interaction with locals added a very authentic touch to the trip. We loved how natural and unforced everything felt. It wasn’t just sightseeing—it felt like a real experience. The gentle pace of the ride made it even more enjoyable. It allowed us to fully t
It was a 3 day tour. Day 2 and Day 3 were amazing, while Day 1 was just acceptably bad. Day 2 & 3 we had big group of people with a lot of activities and just for these two days I think it was worth it. Accommodation at Ecolodge was also amazing, beautiful views and delicious food. My biggest complaint is day one. First day was only me and my guide (different than day 2 and 3), which I don’t mind, but my guide in Mai Chau was 40 minutes late without any information. I’ve waited around an hour for food alone, ate alone and waited another hour for my guide to appear. If I had any information bef
Our guide was excellent. She had a great sense of humor and was a lot of fun.
If you’re looking for a place similar to Sapa, I highly recommend visiting Pu Luong. The landscapes here are just as beautiful, with rice terraces, mountains, and peaceful villages. What makes Pu Luong special is that it feels more untouched and less crowded than Sapa. The atmosphere is calm and relaxing, perfect for travelers who want to enjoy nature and local life. Another big advantage is that Pu Luong is closer to Hanoi, so getting there is much easier and faster. Overall, it’s a wonderful destination for anyone who loves nature and authentic experiences.
we enjoyed meeting the locals. Our guide and bus driver were on time and kept things moving
L’activité en elle-même est top et vaut vraiment le détour. Nous avons eu Thû en guide pour Mai Chau et Eddy pour Pu Luong et les deux ont été à la hauteur de nos attentes, même plus. Vraiment très bien accueilli par ces deux guides qui connaissent parfaitement leur région et apportent des points de culture très intéressant à la visite.
- Die Fahrer waren unterschiedlich, wie sie nur sein konnten, entweder direkt aus der Hölle mit todsicherer Fahrweise oder absolut respektvoll und angemessen. - Am zweiten Tag "Kochkurs", nichts gelernt mangels ordentlichen Sprachkenntnissen, nur Schneidearbeiten. Fahrer hat es auch nach 2h nicht geschafft, ein Hühnchen zu garen, dank dem Fahrer hatte ich die letzten 6 Tage eine Salmonellenvergiftung im Urlaub und musste medizinisch betreut werden. - Unterkunft "Happy Home" mit absolut überzogenem EZ-Zuschlag, und lebenden Tieren im Dach, man konnte nachts nicht schlafen. Personal kann nur fre
Great tour in Pu Luong, less travelled locations, reactive organisation and very nice staffs !
J’ai été vraiment impressionné par le professionnalisme de l’organisation. L’ensemble du programme était bien structuré et s’est déroulé sans aucun problème. Cela a rendu le voyage fluide et sans stress. Toutes les personnes que j’ai rencontrées pendant le séjour étaient sympathiques et toujours prêtes à aider. Leur soutien a apporté beaucoup de confort à l’expérience. Je me suis toujours senti bien accueilli et pris en charge. Il est clair que la satisfaction des clients est une priorité ici. L’équipe a été attentive et réactive du début à la fin. Ce niveau de service m’a vraiment marqué. Cel
Sehr interessante Tour die einen wunderbaren Einblick in die Region gibt. Ein spannende, intensives und bereicherndes Erlebnis. Die Guides sind wie ein wandelndes Vietnam Lecikon und haben ein sehr grosses Wissen über das Land, die Menschen und die. Natur. Wir wurden sehr gut betreut. Die Menschen in der Region Mai Chau Pu Luong sind sehr gastfreundlich. Wir den den Trip wärmstens empfehlen.
Tour assolutamente consigliato! la camminata nella natura e tra le risaie è stata la parte più bella del tour!
