Gorgeous cloud covered little town up in the mountains. The views from our lovely homestay was spectacular! Our tour guide (A Phu) was very friendly and informative. Thank you Prime Travel Vietnam!

Excellent and the entire trip was so well organized
We booked the 3 day trekking (hotel stay) with Prime Vietnam Travel. The communication during the planning phase was excellent and the entire trip was so well organized. The rice terraces were amazing, regardless. Overall, an excellent adventure and a quick peak at north Vietnam.
