Part of the bio for this company reads: “These local people are not sponsored or working with travel agencies. We chose them because we thought they were welcoming, open-minded, and motivated about sharing their culture.”...this statement is 100% accurate. Opi and Thái (not to mention their many friends and associates) were kind, patient, and beyond attentive on our 4 day trip. You truly get a unique cultural experience. Each day is well planned out with riding, trekking, and, of course, food + drinks. The scenery is obviously outrageously beautiful but what stands out about this tour was the connection. Yes, we got a history lesson and facts, but we also sang songs, danced, laughed, and I believe truly bonded. These guys are so sincere and sweet. Both guides regularly checked in to make sure we were happy. Opi would say “let us know if you want to change anything or stop somewhere unscheduled because your eyes might see something mine don’t.” I really can’t say enough about this tour, Ha Giang, it’s people and traditions, and Opi and Thái. You will most assuredly have a once in a lifetime experience!

The Ta Xua landscapes were stunning and the organisation was seamless. From the pick up in Hanoi, to the very charming and warm welcome at the homestay (very clean) to the great meals cooked along the way. We went for a 3D2N trek up to Ta Xua Mountain surrounded by Hmong and Thai ethnies. The trek was amazing but quite though so we ended up doing 2D1N, which was really great as we took 1 more day to explore the valley. We can highly recommand Zonitrip for any adventurous trek. In addition to the very well organised trip, we had an amazing time thanks to Zoni's kindness, attentiveness overall happiness. We will never forget this trip. <3 We highly recommand Zoni and the Ta Xua climb to anyone looking for off the beaten path, high energy experiences - you won't regret it.

Jude was awesome! The whole time we did the tour it didn't feel like we were walking with an audio recording. Everything went naturally and easily. Ever had that fantasy of walking around an ancient city discovering secret alleys, and nooks,and "searching" for the best coffee in town while having casual conversations about the history of said city and its ties to one of the world's best coffees with a local friend? That's how our tour was with Jude minus the searching part because he has already done the work for you! :) Hanoi is a charming city, hiding mysteries and secrets in it alleyways or 'fridge-like' houses while at the same time offering the best and strangest coffee experience you can have. Couple that with Jude's expertise and it's a coffee lovers dream come true.

The trip was well organized, our drivers were very professional and drove carefully. The views were beautiful and the food was great as well. But the highlight was our guide King Kong. He really made this trip outstanding, he was so nice, funny and knowledgeable. What's more, our guide and drivers brought socks and gloves for the kids in the villages. That was very caring and sweet. Definitely recommend this trip with Vietnam Cheers hostel

We chose Mr Linh's based on our friends' recommendation. The replies from the agent were prompt, and it was easy to make changes or ask questions. Our itinerary was fairly straight forward, and you can check all the accommodations as they provide an itinerary with links to hotels and homestays. Both our guide and driver were excellent. At all times we felt safe when Mr Long was behind the wheel. Mr Son was very knowledgeable about the area, and he also picked up quickly our favourite dishes and our average hiking/trekking speed. We did a 9D/8N trip, and had to do small changes along the way (like skipping motorbike riding as it was a rainy day going from Ha Giang to Dong Van, and then staying one extra night in Dong Van waiting for the rain to stop). The changes were not an issue to Mr Son. We had a small misunderstanding, but even that was duly noted and communicated to us. We went to places where there were no other tourists, and it was really wonderful to enjoy the fresh air, amazing sceneries, colourful tribes and see people at their daily chores. Our itinerary was Hanoi-Hoang Su Phi-Ban Phung-Ha Giang-Dong Van-Cao Bang/Quang Uyen-Ban Gioc Falls-Quang Uyen-Hanoi. To see the rice fields in full colour, I would suggest going latest early October. Around mid-October a lot of the rice had already been harvested, but still plenty being harvested by the locals, mostly women. I would strongly recommend Mr Linh's for travels to Northern Vietnam.

I had a couple of emails from the guide before I arrived which was reassuring. I was picked up at the designated time of 0745 and taken to a Toyota Land Cruiser in very good condition. The trip turned out just to be got two but that was fine. Travel took 2.5 hours with the obligatory stop at a shop ( I gas been here already on an earlier trip. Arrived and taken to a covered towed boat which should have been for four but we had to ourselves. Was advised that feb to April this would be the case as thousands go in that period. We had the river to ourselves apart from a few locals and the ride through the beautiful scenery took an hour. The boat seats were metal so I was struggling to be comfortable at the end and glad to get off. From here we saw the first temple the first of many steps in stifling heat. It was at this point I decided to take the cable car to the pagoda and boy what a great section when I saw the steepness of the steps, uphill and distant in 40 degree heat. Cost me an extra 180000 but worth it. We then had lunch which was enormous and quite ok. Beer was 400000 Then we stated off to cable car - having thought I dodged the steps but no there were more. No queues fir cable car as quiet but told usually an hour wait each way. When we get off guess what more steps down to the cave which for me was hard work. The cave was beautiful and amazing to see, well worth the struggle. Then the way back the steps in the cave were slippy do have good shoes and the climb back up to the cable was hard but the guide went slowly without making me feel like I was holding the group back. Then back to the boat fir an hour back. I don’t like being told to tip but was recommended a dollar do I did only to be greeted with abuse from the rower who was demanding five dollars from us and quite nasty .. wish I hadn’t given her anything with that attitude. Then two hours drive back and in the hotel by 1700.

I found Tony online and requested a guide for 5 days and a driver for 2 days. He assigned Giang Thi Mee to me as my guide. She was a small super fun and energetic guide. With her knowledge, wit, humor, and patience we had an amazing time. I emailed my desires and she was able to get me just where I wanted to be. we also took Cabs, and Motor Bikes just like I like to do. On my last day I went to a fantastic dinner with her family, which sealed a frindship for life and a guarantee that I will be back next year. Same Guide, same Driver, same Company Tony Tours. Thanks again
