Pick this tour! Its amazing! - This tour was amazing! Sen took such great care of us and her english was so good. Anthony was so easy to communicate with and even helped us arrange transport after our tour back to Hanoi. Highlights was the Gioc Waterfall with a boat ride and seeing the paper being made in a small town and meeting local families. If you cant pick a tour of all the options and you’re reading through the reviews like I did, pick this one!

Wonderful Tour Experience - Sen provided a wonderful experience showing us the Ban Gioc Waterfalls and the surrounding villages and foods. She was helpful explaining and answering our questions and was so kind and fun. The tour felt very personal and wasn’t rushed. We also got to experience paper making at a village and was welcomed into their home. This tour was a highlight for our trip and will definitely recommend it to anyone wanting to explore Cao Bang and the surrounding areas.

Amazing experience! - This tour was everything and more! I am so glad we didn’t skip cao bang, this city felt so authentic and picturesque in every way and we would not have been able to experience that without viet’s guidance. Getting to see the beautiful waterfalls with the astounding Mountain Views was the Vietnam moment I had been looking forward to. Everything about this tour felt so much more personal and intimate than most of the other tours in Vietnam. 10/10

Best Cao Bang Tour - I highly recommend this tour. Việt did an amazing job at guiding us through Cao Bang via motorbikes. They also provided us authentic cuisines from Cao Bang. The waterfalls and caves we saw were breathtaking, with Việt providing us plenty of time at each destination. Sen also did an amazing job at giving us a tour of the temples of Cao Bang. Anthony was also great at communicating, providing information regarding the tour, and also addressing any concerns we had.
