We were collected from our hotel in the Old Quarter on time and met our guide Duong (aka Sugar) He spoke very good English and was very friendly. Once at Halong Bay, it was quite chilly and misty at times but we knew it could be in March. All the meals were very nice but a lot of the dishes were deep fried. All the activities were very interesting but I think could have been quite overcrowded if it was busier. The photo of the room gives the impression it's large, spacious and gleaming, they were actually small, cramped and slightly dowdy. But we didn't spend much time in the room anyway so not really a problem. The downstairs rooms are larger but are noisier as they are closer to the engine. Waited a long time for the coach when we got off. All in all a very good trip.

We booked a 4 days treking tour from Sapa with this agency (4 adults and 6 children). Unfortunately, we can not make a good review because the price- performance ratio was very bad. We have been living in Vietnam for 2 years now and travelled a lot inside Vietnam so we can evaluate a good/bad service. We accepted to pay an important amount of money for this trip hoping that we could have a better service but things didn t go that way... We also had, before the trip, a very clear vision regarding the living conditions in different villages. So we didn t expect to have luxury or modern facilities. Our disapointment is not caused by a lack of information or realism previous to the trip. It is caused by the lack of responsiveness and organization of this agency. They didn t do their job to check the places we slept over and prepare them before our arrival. In one homestay, we had worms falling on us from the mosquito screen, the bed smelled very bad ( urine)... this could have been avoided if they have done their job by asking the owners of the place to clean before our arrival. The places we ate during the day were very commun, no view, no charm and especially very bad quality. In one of the restaurants, we put our bag in a dog or cat pooh... in another restaurant we didn even eat one of the dishes, because it looked very unhealthy. We payed a lot of money, so they had, in theory, the budget to pay a bit more for a more decent place but they prefered to keep that money for themselves. Or, if there are not such places, then they should ask less money for their treking. We find them very unprofessional. They got us once, it won t happen a second time...

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!
