Hi Ms Chi,

I have completed the trip with your company and I would like to give you an honest feedback.

The itinerary is fantastic. The whole experience in riding thru the country side was very fulfilling.  The homestay in Mai Chu was also fantastic. The host was equally good. Food provided by them is also good. The guide was knowledgeable with the journey and overall is a very memorable and wonderful trip .

Thanks

Mai Chau is the heart of a beautiful valley that is a world away from the hustle and bustle of Hanoi. The modern village is an unappealing sprawl, but as you emerge on the rice fields and rural lk ì ving it is transformed into a real paradise. It’s a stunning area, and most people here are ethnic White Thai. It is so interesting to spend a night on a stilt house and enjoy the traditional music and wine.

Tam Coc is considered Ha Long Bay on land because of its beauty and charm. Sitting on boat en route Tam Coc, you have a good chance of viewing the scenic beauty of huge rocks standing along river and scattered green rice fields, which are all combined to form a poetic painting of the countryside
