An undiscovered treasure
We had an amazing time on this trip which we chose as an alternative to visiting Sapa and we are so glad we did.The scenery was stunning and unspoilt and so quiet and peaceful.Our guide TK really was the best.He ensured we took the best paths and roads to see the natural environment and the local people and their way of life.His local knowledge of the area meant he could share insights into the White and Blck Thai people's customs and traditions whilst also knowing the best routes to take.He was careful to ensure the trip encompassed everything we wanted and thoroghly looked after us.He is an asset to the company a real gentleman.The places we stayed were so special too.Mai Chau Rustic House had great local dishes,a lovely swimming pool and we were upgraded to an enormous room whilst Eco Garden Lodge was in the most beautiful setting with fabulous gardens.Their food was delicious and the swimming pool had the most perfect view overlooking the valley and rice paddies.The emphasis on giving back to the local community and looking after the national park made me pleased that I had used this company.I thoroughly recommend it.

Phenomenal tour
This was a really fantastic tour. We got to see some great sights including the rice terraces, the Thai minority people and phenomenal landscape. The bamboo boat tour was especially fun, we got to sit with our feet in the water and watch the local children swim and play, while the adults fished and brought the buffalo to the river. Double Đức was our guide and he was great. He was very funny, gave us great facts and information about the area, and clearly loves his job. He made us feel really welcome and spent a lot of time making sure we had some great photos to look back on. He kept us up to date on all the timings for example when the bus would arrive, when lunch was being served etc. He was also very respectful of our space whilst we were at the hotel. Due to the weather conditions, we were unable to make the trek to the bat cave, however we still got to see so much and learn a lot so we don’t feel like we missed out. The accommodation was lovely. The views were incredible, the staff were very friendly and accommodating, and room was clean and comfortable, and finally the food was outstanding (fresh, and big portions). Would absolutely recommend this tour if you want to see a side of Vietnam not well known. If you get Double Đức as your guide, you are in for a treat!

Highly recommend for solo travellers. A great way to see 3 places in a short space of time and meet new friends.
Loved the trip. Nat was a great tour leader, really well organised and kept us busy so that we enjoyed every minute. A great combination of activities and wonderful experience. Thank you, Nat!

Beautiful places, great tour
Had a great time with my lovely guide, TK, on this tour. I'd assumed I'd be in a tour group so was surprised that it was just me. Luckily, TK quickly became my bestie. The tour was well organized and included a fantastic mix of activities to interesting places, and downtime. The Pu Luong eco-garden is a real treat. I was easily able to add an extra day in Ninh Binh and appreciated the company's flexibility and thoughtfulness (thanks Christophe!).

Visiting mai Chau and puluong has been a life changing experience
Mr nat, my tour guide, guided me through a 3 days trip. I got to see the wonderful countryside and lives of Thai people. He speaks excellent English and is very attentive. Can’t wait to come back someday

Wonderful places to visit!
Mai Chau et Pu Luong are absolutely beautiful places worth visiting! I highly recommend this company, we stayed at two great locations where we had occasion to explore the life of locals - great experience and delicious food. ;) Our tour guide was Hung who’s a great professional who’s happy to share his knowledge about the places we visited - very kind with great sense of humor. We’ll definitely be back if an occasion occurs!

Magnificent stay with Mr Truong
We had the pleasure of having Mr Truong as our guide during our stay in Pu Luong. We had the chance to discover this magnificent region of Viet Nam. Between rides on a bamboo boat, the cave, the rice fields or even meeting the locals. We leave with our heads full of wonderful memories. Thanks to Mr Truong, who loves his country, we learned a lot about Vietnamese culture. He doesn't just stop at a simple visit, he ensures that our stay goes as smoothly as possible. He even took our dietary restrictions into account. We recommend it to you without hesitation.

Great trip
Our hotel suggested a tour to Mai Chau and Phu Luong and organised this group. Our guide, Nat, was excellent ! very good English and he is well informed about the places we went to. Has a good sense of humour and easy to spend those few days with him. Everything went smoothly. We were happy with meals and accommodation.

Gorgeous and fun in a small group setting with excellent guide, lodging and food!!
I do not hesitate to recommend this group!! I had such a wonderful time staying off the typical tourist paths and off the large tour buses in favor of eco-friendly lower-on-the-radar spots. I wanted a responsible, local, affordable, outdoor adventure with exercise, visits to communities, plus some culture, glamour and great food. I got it all!! Very experienced Truong expertly guided and coordinated our outings. He was very amicable, clearly loves the land, easy to understand (excellent English), on time, reliable, patient, and concerned with our comfort, safety, food issues, etc. He was assisted by office staff member Tuan who was equally enthusiastic and helpful--and happy to get reacquainted with the field. My favorites parts were the Puluong rice field paddy walks, which were just stunning--and not overrun like Sapa. Boating through 1 km cave (Tour C, I believe) at UNESCO site Trang An was a first and very exotic! Both of the ecolodges associated with ECO Travel-Go Green Vietnam were VERY comfortable. Great heating and bedding was divine. Food was abundant and excellent! I also appreciated that the "Halong Bay" cruise (not guided by the two gentlemen at that point) was actually to further parts in Lan Ha Bay and to Cat Ba island (both much less touristy). It was on Mon Cheri Cruises, which was a five-star accommodation. The boat was so luxurious and relaxing!! The crew and Cruise Director were top notch! Enjoy yourself with these folks!!!

So much beauty
Mai Chau and Pu Luong is a beauty on earth. Hopefully it can keep his tranquility far from mass tourism. Mr Truõng guided us as the best! He loves his country very much and you can feel that. Mr Truõng doesn't talk all the time (like some guides do) but he was there for us, every moment of the day.
