This tour is the only tour that takes you deep into both cave and jungle. Start by visiting paradise cave, then have lunch in the local restaurant. Take a dip in the blue pond, then hold onto ropes, and climb ladders to get to a magnificent waterfall which boasts fantastic views of the mountainous area. With naturally primitive features, Paradise Cave looks like a landscape painting; making it a natural wonder that many have enjoyed since its opening in 2010. According to spelunkers (cave explorers), the deeper one journeys into the cave, the more one feels the wells of heavenly clarity all around. The cave can reach up to 72 m high and up to 150 m wide. There are a series of white crystal stalactites (limestone deposits) resembling natural pillars and many other spectacular formations. Paradise Cave (Hang Thien Duong) was discovered by scientists of the British Caving Research Association in 2005. It has a length of 31.4 km, and is the longest dry cave in Asia

????????????the cave had really good scenery with the mountains one side and the town the other.????????????Once at the cave the engines are turned off and paddles used to take you through the wet areas. I thought this was a pretty unique way to explore such massive caves, the top of the boat was slid across so you could look up. Once you reach the end the boat turns around and starts to paddle back. You then get out of the boat for a short route by foot back to the cave highly recommended. I really enjoyed the trip, the boat ride being the highlight as some of the structures looks like

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 intended to go to the Citadel and Tombs independently. At the last minute I decided I wanted a guide to show me around and to explain the history. It was the best decision I made. I contacted the company directly and everything was so easy to arrange. My guide, Ms Fi was amazing. With her excellent English and local knowledge she was so informative. She was also able to answer any questions I had about the Imperial history. I was also really impressed that after mentioning I’m vegetarian, I was taken to a lovely vegetarian restaurant. I would highly recommend this really professional company (I’ll be getting touch for when I go to Hoi in a few days!).

Our guide (Bo?) was very nice and friendly. We went to a lacquer art factory and gallery that employs people affected by agent orange and the many details and painstaking steps it takes to make the beautiful pieces. If you want to buy a small picture or piece, make sure to bring between 500k or 1mil dong. We were told 60% goes to the the workers. The tunnels and bunkers were super interesting and we had the opportunity to go in them and really experience and start to understand what it must have been like for the people who used them. There were lots of displays and demonstrations on how clothing, shoes, food and such was prepared as well. Lunch was in a nice location with interesting and tasty Vietnamese dishes. These were by far our favorite parts of the trip. We also took a boat to an island on the Mekong. We saw bee keeping, singing, and fruit gardens on the island. Each station and place to visit has something to sell or tips to give. So if interested, just make sure you have enough small bills and dong. Possibly even 500k more. We did not realize all the extra, so started to run out of cash dong towards the end of the trip. Overall the trip was nice and the Cu Chi tunnels are definitely a highlight of the tour!

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.
