Cuong (golden goat) was friendly, knowledgeable guide. He made sure everyone is informed and enjoy the tour. Even though it rained most of the day, we really enjoyed Trang A bamboo boat ride through scenic water and Mountain views and the caves were beautiful! The hike up Hang Mua was worth it for the beautiful views at the top.
