Great tour, if you want to escape the top three tourist attractions in the north
This was a super tour taking in a fabulous homestay at an incense village, Ban Gioc waterfall, nearby Caves and Ba Be lake with second night at Ba Be jungle homestay, taking in part of Cao Bang Loop. As with all tours sometimes things don’t go to plan and we didn’t manage to get to our accommodation at Ba Be jungle until way past dark , so didn’t manage to chill in daylight or use the pool.

Vietnam scenery and culture - off the beaten track
I went in the monsoon time of year so we had some heavy rain and unpredictable weather. Eddie our guide and our driver were very professional and friendly and drove to conditions to keep us safe. Eddie was very knowlegeable and passionate about the history of vietnam which I really enjoyed learning. This itinerary lets you see and learn about the real vietnam and get off the tourist track. The views from the viewpoint are well worth the hike and the boat ride is very relaxing. I highly recommend the tour.
Response from the operator: Hi Paula! Thank you so much for the fantastic review! We're so glad you had such a great time on the tour, even with the unpredictable monsoon weather. Eddie and our driver are excellent at what they do, and we're proud that they were able to keep you safe and comfortable throughout your trip. It's great to hear that you enjoyed learning about the real Vietnam from Eddie and that the views and boat ride were highlights for you. We really appreciate you choosing us and hope to welcome you back again someday! Pierre, for Mr Linh's Adventures

Cao Bang 3 day tour
Had a 3 day tour of the Cao Bang Surrounds around Ban Gioc Waterfall, Ba Be Lake, Chinese border - was very good and amazing scenery in a nice comfortable bus. Days felt long with long bus travel during days, but was worth it for the scenery. Giang guiding us was great.
Response from the operator: Hi there ! Thanks so much for your review! We're thrilled you enjoyed the stunning scenery around Cao Bang and Ban Gioc Waterfall. We appreciate your honest feedback about the bus travel and be sure I will be happy to pass on your kind note to Giang. We hope to welcome you back for more adventures in the future!

Why this scores 76

Adventure Tour to Ban Gioc Waterfall - Ba Be Lake 3 days 2 nights: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Hanoi.
How much does Adventure Tour to Ban Gioc Waterfall - Ba Be Lake 3 days 2 nights cost?
+
Prices start at $249 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Hanoi usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Adventure Tour to Ban Gioc Waterfall - Ba Be Lake 3 days 2 nights take?
+
Plan for about 72 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Hanoi is not rushed.
Is Adventure Tour to Ban Gioc Waterfall - Ba Be Lake 3 days 2 nights worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 76 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.7/5 across 169 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Hanoi, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Adventure Tour to Ban Gioc Waterfall - Ba Be Lake 3 days 2 nights?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Adventure Tour to Ban Gioc Waterfall - Ba Be Lake 3 days 2 nights suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 72-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Adventure Tour to Ban Gioc Waterfall - Ba Be Lake 3 days 2 nights?
+
Around 59 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Hanoi can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Hanoi and add a light layer if any part of the 72-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Adventure Tour to Ban Gioc Waterfall - Ba Be Lake 3 days 2 nights start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Hanoi within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Hanoi?
+
On Outty we rank every Hanoi experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Ninh Binh Day Trip from Hanoi with Tam Coc or Trang An & Mua Cave, Ha Giang Loop Tour 4 Days 3 Nights with Ha Giang Vision Tour, Halong Bay Day Tour With Titop Island, Cave, Kayak & Lunch. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Hanoi?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Hanoi?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
