This was the highlight of our Vietnam trip and I highly recommend it, the hike is challenging but fun and we felt super safe and looked after. The lunch was delicious and I couldn’t fault anything, it was perfect from the moment we got picked up from our hotel to the end and we even received a medal for completing the climb!!

Everything worked perfectly. Pao was a very nice Tour Guide. Pickup was on time. He explained everything very well. The hike is quite strenuous, not for everyone, but you are rewarded with a fantastic view at the top. Always again. 😍

I booked this trip in July. Pao was such a nice and patient guide. The weather was not favorable that day but he helped a lot in maintaining my pace, prepared lunch and made sure I was safe throughout the trip ☺️
