How previous fellow groups talking about it:
Real, local Vietnam (worldwide trip advisor)
he would randomly stop on the side of the road when seeing something potentially interesting. We explored small villages in the middle of nowhere, visited a family noodle workshop and an incense maker that were not expecting tourists and so on.
The tour was tailor made essentially a variation on the Northern Loop with a side trip to Ban Gioc waterfall, time in BaBe Park and Ha Long bay at the end. Organisation was very smooth and we saw and experienced things we would have missed on a group tour or if travelling on our own.
