“Well organised. The guide could speak good English. We had a nice but strenuous hike through the forest. He gave us many tips about what to eat and how to survive in the jungle. We visited a nice cave, had a tasty lunch and went to the primate rescue centre. At our request we were dropped at the Bai Dinh Pagoda. I would appreciate a bit more information before taking the tour: so actually you need to be in a good shape to do the hike and climb many steep stairs on your way to the cave. And it’s recommendable to have a torch when visiting the cave.”

“The tour gets five stars based on a well executed trip that delivered all it promised and a bit more - well delivered by our guide Zoom/Michael. No doubt that the best part of the trip was the visit to Duong Lam Village which was interesting anRead more”

“We really enjoy excursion in the foresr and the visit to the monkey s. Max, our guide, was super prepared and very kind :) we loved it”

“We had a good time. The guide grew up near Cuc Phuong, so he knew much about and Ninh Binh in gerenal.”

“Really excellent experience! Tour guide was really nice and informative. Really great physical experience (not for people who don’t live physically activity as you will climb almost 1000 steps!), but for nature and sports lovers this is an excellent hike! Also got to see the monkey and turtle reserves. Thank you so much!”

“Basically, this is a drive up a small mountain, followed by 700+ concrete steps, and then a temple on top. This is followed by a drive to see a couple of spooky abandoned buildings. Lunch was in a roadside shed surrounded by smoking locals tRead more”

“Well organised, everything was on time and happened as per schedule, great hospitality, great common areas at the homestay, great food and location, very peaceful and a great break from the city life in Hanoi. The tour guide Giang and dRead more”

“Hanna was a brilliant guide and gave lots of really interesting information throughout the tour”

“Absolutely amazing trip. Henry was very informative and a pleasure to guide us through the tour. Was happy to take photos and very pleasant about it.”

“This was such an incredible experience — the highlight of our trip to northern Vietnam! The guides were super professional and welcoming, and it was a perfect mix of activities, from the difficult but doable hike to the boat tour and bioluminescent plankton kayaking (never kayaked at night before which was super cool!). We also loved the Homestay in the quaint village of Viet Hai — it felt like a true "off the beaten path" destination and the rooms and grounds were lovely. Food was decent but not amazing. A big thanks to Chilly and the team. I’m so happy we opted for this and not just a Halong Bay…”

“you need a friver to get there anyway. the guide was friendly but didnt tell us more than the signs said. if you can get there you could do this place alone and not really loose out.”

“The trip is absolutely stunning amd fun. Both guides were really fun and helpful. The acommodation (and food there) was really great. We have no complaints at all. :) Must see tour, for sure!”

“Unsere Tour war super. Die Busfahrten waren zwar sehr anstrengend, da es ein öffentlicher Bus ist mit dem auch die Einheimischen fahren, wodurch es oft sehr laut und eng ist. Zudem sind die Straßenbedingungen sehr schlecht.”

“Foggy day means you won't see much. There is no English labeling at the site so that made finding trails a bit challenging.”

“monkey sanctuary with singing gibbons was great. wetlands were very beautiful. walk in national park was good. But, he additional pick up from our hotel we agreed with tour age t was an hour late then drove fast to try to catch up with group. agent agreed not to charge me the extra cost we've agreed for that at least but it was not a good start.”
