Our family had a great tour with Thanh and Carol! They took us to visit local families where we got to see local weaving, cooking and farming. And they were flexible, changing one of the stops because we had already done something similar on a prior tour. The Jeeps were well maintained and a lot of fun to ride around in. Our kids loved the jeeps and the pace of the tour kept them entertained the whole day!LeenearAnimation

A fantastic day out with our guide and joint owner Ben. Not only does he speak excellent english but his knowledge and love for this area shine through. They also share part of their profits to the local community and war widows. A total must for anyone who wants to see the otherside of Vietnam away from the normal tourist trail. 5 tars all round.
