Happy Customers’ Feedback

Everything was amazing! from the tour guide to the food, homestays, views, people. Also the communication with the agency was very good, we communicated online for months and they are very trustworthy. I would definitely go again with you, guys!

Van Anh K / Tripadvisor

If you're looking to go away from tourist destinations, this tour is for you. Although we did visit some very nice places where we did find other tourists, it was only around 2-3 other people that were in the same place as us. The rest of the time, we spent walking through rice fields and hills all by ourselves. The people we met along the way were amazing, and the food was great. We would highly recommend this tour. We had an amazing guide, Tần, that was super knowledgable and was always patient with us. Overall, I recommend this tour!

Delia N / Tripadvisor

The trip was very nice and super interesting. The landscape is amazing, and the guide very kind. The walk is relaxing and allows you to observe bits of rural life in the area, which is extremely fascinating. I was also invited to celebrate Christmas with the hotel crew on the 24th which was totally different from what I was used to in Europe, so I learned a little more about their culture.
