Our tour guide Lele was Lele-legendary! I was so entertained and educated at the same time. he had so much passion sharing about Vietnam's history and culture, and people. if you don't book this tour you are missing out! such a fun concept to make a historical and cultural tour more interesting. We had beers along the way in the bus and we had packed Bahn Mi. beer was good and food so yums!

My 3D2N Ba Be - Ban Gioc tour from Hanoi went smoothly and followed the itinerary perfectly. True to the reviews, the tour catered more to local tourists, which gave me the rare chance to interact closely with Vietnamese people from both the north and south. I was lucky to be joined by three warm families and a solo traveler from the south who could speak English—her help in translating made the trip even more meaningful. The families looked after me like their own, making this tour not only about Vietnam’s stunning landscapes but also its incredible hospitality. The food throughout was delicious and generous. Bac Kan is a hidden gem—less touristy but full of charm. While the hotel there wasn’t too fancy, it was clean and comfortable. In contrast, the hotel in Cao Bang was really nice. I requested a separate room and was pleasantly surprised with a spacious and beautifully kept one. Ban Gioc Waterfall, although not at peak flow during my visit, still looked majestic. It was a bit touristy due to the holiday, but well worth it. This trip was a beautiful blend of nature, culture, and genuine human connection.
