    Excellent trip. The tour guide who was happy to answer all our questions. Lunch was outstanding. We made spring rolls and salad and the rest was provided for us. Very interesting learning how they grow, pick and brew tea. Bike ride through the village allowed us to see the local sights. An enjoyable day out.

    My daughter and I had a fabulous tour with Trung. We ventured out of the city, driven carefully by Qwan, to the lush countryside where we visited a traditional tea farm. We helped harvest the tea and learned how they process it. We spent time getting to know the owners, with Trung carefully translating. We then headed to another village where we had a cooking lesson and fabulous meal. Next, we cycled and motorbiked through the countryside, with Trung making sure we had plenty of water and breaks due to the heat. We learned so much and had a wonderful time. Trung gave us many ideas of other places to visit while we’re here. I can’t say enough about how fabulous a day it was. I can’t wait to return in the near future with my husband. Highly recommend.

    Tour guide Trung was excellent, 5 stars! Driver was amazing and careful, no problems, 5 stars! Itinerary was excellent, and we really appreciated that Trung rearranged the events to deal with the very hot day. 5 stars! The meal was fantastic! We loved learning to make the food and our host was so gracious. Trung was great about translating everything and teaching us a few phrases in Vietnamese. 5 star meal! We could not eat it all, but we loved everything. The vehicle was excellent, comfortable and good seat belts and roomy and smooth ride and really good air conditioning. 5 stars! It was amazing picking tea and seeing the whole process, meeting the Vietnam war veteran and drinking tea with him, seeing how hard people work in the villages, making hats, tofu, tea. Amazing experience all around. Beautiful views of the mountains on the bike ride and amazing seeing the farmers in the rice fields and learning about glass noodle made from Canna Lily, because we grow that in California but nobody eats the root! We learned so much about lots of things in Vietnam culture and history. Wonderful, fantastic tour! Thank you!
