Unfortunately due to Covid we were the only people on this tour, but that meant we could take things at our own pace. The places we visited were stunning, and although the weather wasn't great, we got some wonderful photos. Highly recommend this for a day of full immersion.

Paradise Cave and Phong Nha cave are located in Phong Nha - Ke Bang National Park which were formed by the karst terrain, inside of limestone mountains. First 5km of Paradise Cave has been discovered by explorers of the British Cave Research Association in 2005. Until 2010, the explorers officially announced that they has fully discovered the whole cave which is 31,4km full length. The widest part of the cave is around150 meters and the highest point is around 100 meters which makes the cave longest and biggest dry cave in Asia. In the mean time, Phong Nha Cave is well-known as the water cave, which covers an underground river reaching to the border of Laos with over 13km total length. The combination of stalactite, stalagmite and the lights which were set up in the cave even makes it become more sparkling. You will go through a lot of wow moments in the tour with us.

Thank you for heart warming support. I enjoyed an excellent scenery in the cave. I recommend visitors to go there from Dong Hoi city. 1 hour ride from there is just suitable for a nap on the way to go and from comparing boring long bus ride from other cities.

4. 7 Days Discovery of Central Vietnam

Da Nang Airport, Duy Tân, Hòa Thuận Nam, Hải Châu, Đà Nẵng 550000, Vietnam Hoi An Express

The Centre of Vietnam is the longest region of the country with over 1.000 kms from North to South. This region is encircled by mountains forming a natural border with Lao. Even if the Centre is less famous than Ha Noi, the Ha Long Bay or Ho Chi Minh City, it offers a very rich patrimony. Indeed, the Centre of Vietnam counts for four of the five national wonders registered to the UNESCO. Those are usually remains of the glorious past of Annam, the name given to this region under the French colonization. One of the most stunning sights to see in Central is My Son, Vietnam’s most important site of the ancient kingdom of Champa. Located in the heart of a beautiful valley and surrounded by high mountains ranges, My Son is around 80km from Da Nang city. Letters from the 4th century were found whist excavating My Son, revealing that complex for offerings and worship of the Hindu god. In 1999, UNESCO conservation protects cultural heritage world.

Contacted the night before by email and message at front desk of hotel to confirm times & pick up.Picked up from our hotel at the time stated relatively new mini bus with air conditioning. Bus held 12 only 6 on tour. Cold water provided. Scenic drive out to My Son with the guide pointing relevant points of interest as we drove to site (about 90 mins). The site was empty on our arrival (just before Covid 19 hit a number of countries had already stopped their nationals travelling). The site is small but worth seeing. We had to take an electric bus up to the site from the car park I would have preferred to walk as it was less than a mile.The guide was very informative and answered any questions brought up by the group. We had nearly 2 hours walking around and then back on the bus to Hoi An. We asked to be dropped in the Old town not at our hotel which the driver and guide facilitated. We had considered renting a scooter and making our own way there but it is quite a considerable distance, the weather very hot, traffic intimidating and roads are not always hard surfaced. Worth the money

I needed a company to help me put together a very itemized and logistically complex 2.5 week hike, trek, climb and rest day plan/schedule (I live in Vietnam, have been to Sapa before and have climbed mountains like Kilimanjaro and Elbrus so I knew what I wanted). I tried 7 companies - some ignored me, some told me I wasn't good enough to climb the mountains in Vietnam. But Asia Master Tours and Chi stepped up to the plate and delivered a fantasic plan and kept in touch and kept me upto to date everyday. You have to have a very flexible mindset in Vietnam. Corona precautions started to deeply affect my plan and my final climb plus my visit to Ha Giang was cancelled. Chi kept me updated, we discussed options, once agreed Chi would go away and (re)arrange everything in a fantastic top way. I made it more tricky for her as I had already done a lot of the main sights in northern Vietnam but she always came through for me. AMT and Chi have been fantastic for me and I would use them again for anything climb/trek/travel related in Vietnam - and I don't normally allow other people to plan things for me either.

All 7 of us were happy with his services. Thumbs up too for Mr Dung who drove, kept us safe and sound with his careful driving throughout the whole trip. I highly recommend this service.

We chose Mr Linh's based on our friends' recommendation. The replies from the agent were prompt, and it was easy to make changes or ask questions. Our itinerary was fairly straight forward, and you can check all the accommodations as they provide an itinerary with links to hotels and homestays. Both our guide and driver were excellent. At all times we felt safe when Mr Long was behind the wheel. Mr Son was very knowledgeable about the area, and he also picked up quickly our favourite dishes and our average hiking/trekking speed. We did a 9D/8N trip, and had to do small changes along the way (like skipping motorbike riding as it was a rainy day going from Ha Giang to Dong Van, and then staying one extra night in Dong Van waiting for the rain to stop). The changes were not an issue to Mr Son. We had a small misunderstanding, but even that was duly noted and communicated to us. We went to places where there were no other tourists, and it was really wonderful to enjoy the fresh air, amazing sceneries, colourful tribes and see people at their daily chores. Our itinerary was Hanoi-Hoang Su Phi-Ban Phung-Ha Giang-Dong Van-Cao Bang/Quang Uyen-Ban Gioc Falls-Quang Uyen-Hanoi. To see the rice fields in full colour, I would suggest going latest early October. Around mid-October a lot of the rice had already been harvested, but still plenty being harvested by the locals, mostly women. I would strongly recommend Mr Linh's for travels to Northern Vietnam.

Food in the restaurant was average.Myonly complaint was after two hours on the boat we went to the meeting point and found no guide.We searched and asked for help difficult with the language barrier.After one and a half hours waiting the guide arrived .We under stood he was guiding seven of us and not the other group on the bus that had their guide.If he had explained earlier we would not have been so worried.The boat was great.

This activity offers a nice comfy excursion out of the busy city of Dalat to the countryside. The coffee shop which is part of this tour is quite nice to sit and drink a cup of coffee as it has some nice exposed view of the coffee farm. The falls are very nice. There are some walks down and up the elephant falls but it is worth it as you can get quite close to the waterfall and behind, underneath the fall! I also have to recommend it for the super nice guide, Tin Tin, humorous and knowledgable. I recommend it!
