Kimberley Jean Collett’s Review
“Dung was our tour guide and she was so charming and amazing! We did the 2D1N tour and had a chance to get a glimpse of the village life. The first day we went on a shorter trek through the village Cat Cat and it was an incredible experience to see the local life up close. The second day we visited the wet rice fields and the villages of Lao Chai and Ta Van. Dung was of great help for getting around and learning the local culture. Truly rewarding experience, 100% recommended!”
