Due to the good reviews, we chose Tonkin Travel as a tour operator. We were not disappointed. From personal contact before the tour, to picking up the homestay in the old town, to the safe return everything was perfectly organized. Our driver has us in the comfortable van at any time very safe through dense traffic, and narrow and sometimes bad mountain roads piloted. With Henry, our young tour guide, we had, as a family with adult children, a lot of fun and joy. He speaks very good English and has a great knowledge of the history of the country and ethnic minorities. He also always tried on personal requests and was there for us at all times. We had a very family relationship during the tour to him.
The spectacular views of the mountains, the insights into the life of the ethnic mountain people, the overnight stay in the homestay, the hike on Ma Pi Leng Pass and much more will always be remembered.
The tour is highly recommended. It could be even more relaxed if booked as 4days / 3nights tour.
