We booked directly on the Oasis Cruise website where we were prompted to pick a date and put down a $90 deposit for a 2D1N party cruise. 3 days later we received a notification that there were no cruises on the chosen date despite their site allowing us to select and pay deposit. We were offered a day cruise as an alternative and the customer service team was very proactive in contacting us and trying to get us to book a different date although none of the replacements fit our plans. We then asked for a refund and suddenly, the previously very attentive customer service team stopped answering our emails. We have sent 2 follow up emails regarding this payment we made in JUNE and we still haven't heard anything back. We are very disappointed in the service and support from this company and could see no reason to ever book with them direct, if at all. There are a large number of cruise lines operating in this area and we found a great alternative with excellent customer service.

I have been living and working in Southern Vietnam for 10 years and I love this country very much. On our first time to visit the North, we decided to travel to Ha Giang, Ban Gioc Waterfall, and Ba Be Lake. We chose Conical Travel according to one of our friends who did the trip with them. The six-day trip amazed and impressed us with the beauty of the natural landscape in the moutainous areas. Each of the destinations we visited has its own mesmerizing features and we had chance to interact with the local people. Our kids had great lessons about how the people in these regions survive without the modernization. In short, the trip was very very very excellent. We love Vietnam so much, from the bottom of our hearts! Andrew, Lorna & kids

I visited Northern Vietnam again and did a solo trip to visit Ha Giang with Bamboo Adventures. Even with only me in the trip, everything was well-organized and I had the feeling of being welcome by all the friendly people during my tour, from the super guide Jack to all the local hosts. Food was incredible and typical of Vietnamese taste. I loved the trip and highly appreciated the arrangement from Bamboo Adventures.

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.

This activity offers a nice comfy excursion out of the busy city of Dalat to the countryside. The coffee shop which is part of this tour is quite nice to sit and drink a cup of coffee as it has some nice exposed view of the coffee farm. The falls are very nice. There are some walks down and up the elephant falls but it is worth it as you can get quite close to the waterfall and behind, underneath the fall! I also have to recommend it for the super nice guide, Tin Tin, humorous and knowledgable. I recommend it!

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.
