Trekking in Cao Bang Province

Review of: Cao Bang adventure trails 5 days 4 nights

This was my fourth trek with Mr. Linh adventures, and every trip has been outstanding. Our tour guide was tops in knowledge of the terrain, of the flora and fauna, of the local ethnic minority tribes people, and of Vietnam History. The Cao Bang journey offered spectacular views of the mountains, tribal villages , and of course the Ban Gioc Waterfalls on the Vietnam-China border. This tour company delivers fully on the adventures they promise and I came away with much knowledge and understanding of the local tribes people who have occupied these areas for hundreds of years.

Adventures with Mr Linh Adventures

Review of: Cao Bang adventure trails 5 days 4 nights

We signed up for 4D3N Caobang (Trip 1) and 9D8N Sapa and Ninh Binh (Trip 2). We were looking for a reliable tour agent for our maiden trip to Vietnam. We were impressed with friendliest and seamless services extended by Helen (pre, during and post), Mr Mike and Mr Hai (guides) and Mr Nguoc (driver) of Mr Linh Adventures. From homestays, to beautiful mountains, majestic waterfalls, ancient sites, dinner with families etc. Mr Linh Adventures had met satisfactorily of our requirements for our quest for adventures of a different kind. We will miss Vietnam and the team from Mr Linh Adventures but we are bringing back great memories created during our stay.
