It was really cool, I recommend, much more impressive and beautiful in real life than the pictures, very friendly guide!
Although it was raining (and a bit cold for us) we enjoyed the tour to the caves! The views were amazing and in the dark cave it was funny. Also the food was really good + the guides were so nice! 😊
We had the best time on this tour. Both tour guides, Nick & Hannah were so friendly, very knowledgeable and answered any questions we had. Paradise cave was breathtaking, well worth the visit and had a good path the whole way. The dark cave was our favourite, with the zip line into the cave and mud bath, however we would highly recommend wearing pool shoes as the ground was quite rough underfoot. Lunch at the dark cave restaurant was also fantastic, served on giant banana leaves. Such a great tour, 100% would recommend!
Very nice experience and a very good guide! Would definitely recommend it, a nice day activity. Caves were very special and our guide knew a lot to tell.
The caves are very impressive and the guide was really nice ! You have a nice lunch and everything was organized well. Nice day trip!
We had Nick as our tour guide. He spoke a very good English He was happy to answer questions about the caves as well as Vietnam in general. The pick-up, the tours in the 2 caves, lunch and the return journey were well organized. We can definitely recommend the tour.
Very good experience, magnificent cellars and good Guide! I recommend! Don’t hesitate to stay in Dong Hoi, I stayed at Nam Long Hotel for a good Award about 1.5 hours from the cellars. I booked the Pension Tour and a shuttle picked me up directly on the D-Day, simplicity and quality.
The Paradise cave is humongous and excellent. We had a great diner before we went to the dark cave. The Dark cave with it’s mudbath is really nice and we had a great time. Our tour guide ‘Nick’ is a nice guy who knows how to keep his customers satisfied.
This was my first time traveling to Quang Binh, and I had an amazing experience booking a tour guided by Mr. Sy. He is a knowledgeable tour guide who takes excellent care of travelers. We would like to extend our heartfelt thanks for everything he supported us with on the way to the caves, providing us with lots of exciting and enjoyable memories. We hope to see him again in Phong Nha one day.
We had a fantastic trip and it was largely down to Nick, the great tour guide. He was knowledgeable and informative. He was also very funny. The caves were stunning, and the activities were a hoot!
