Fantastic Mai Chau and Puluong made special with Nam
What a wonderful and fun private tour and made all the more special by Nam. Great places we visited, tailored to suit our pace, great local food and Nam was such an informative, friendly and caring guide. Our driver was also particularly good, very careful and safe! Thanks for sharing a magical and less crowded bit of Vietnam.

Exploring Northern Vietnam with Amazing Travel Corp.
A fantastic journey with our amazing guide “Tom” and our driver “Jerry”. From the first meeting, we knew we would be taken care. We had high expectations for our custom tour and were not disappointed. Tom was very informative and shared personal stories, history and helped make the culture come alive for us. We appreciated his friendly nature with all the different staff and people we met along the way. It was clear that he is a respected guide in all of the markets, temples and locations we visited. Tom was always early, always smiling and always ready to answer our many questions. I have worked as a travel guide in Japan for more than twenty years and I can honestly say I learned a few new tricks of the trade. It should also be noted, Tom is an amazing photographer and knows all the great locations. I will 100% be recommending his services and the different tours that “Amazing Travel Corp” offers.
Response from the operator: Dear Navigate47243886075, Thank you so much for your incredibly thoughtful and generous review. We are truly honored to hear that your custom journey through Northern Vietnam exceeded your expectations and that you felt well taken care of from the very first meeting. Your words beautifully capture the experience we strive to create for every guest. Your praise for Tom means a great deal to us—especially coming from someone with more than twenty years of experience as a travel guide. Knowing that his storytelling, cultural insight, professionalism, and even his photography skills left such a strong impression is incredibly rewarding. We’re also pleased that Jerry helped make the journey smooth and comfortable throughout. It’s wonderful to hear that Tom’s respectful relationships with local people and staff added depth and authenticity to your experience. Your 100% recommendation is the highest compliment we could receive. Thank you for choosing Amazing Travel Corp and for sharing your expertise and kind words. We truly hope to welcome you back again for another unforgettable adventure in Vietnam. Warm regards, Amazing Travel Corp

One thousand stars
If we could rate this a thousand stars, we would. We combined the Mai Chau / Pu Luong tour with the Ninh Binh tour for a total of five days, and it was the easiest, most fun experience I’ve ever had on a travel tour. We were two couples (four friends) traveling together and had our own private limo, driver and guide for the tour. Special shout out to our guide Tom, who was super knowledgeable, funny, kind, generous with his time and translation skills, and the best photographer we could have hoped for - our phones are full of amazing shots that Tom posed us in that we would not have been able to get otherwise. Food was plentiful and delicious, accommodations were comfortable, and everything was taken care of from admission tickets to bike rentals. Looking forward to coming back to Vietnam just to book this tour company again.
Response from the operator: Dear sarahhY7354BC, Wow — thank you so much for such an incredible “one thousand stars” review! We are truly honored to hear that your combined Mai Chau – Pu Luong and Ninh Binh journey was one of the easiest and most fun travel experiences you’ve ever had. It’s wonderful to know that traveling as four friends with a private limo, driver, and guide made the five days both comfortable and seamless. A very special thank you for your amazing words about Tom. His knowledge, humor, kindness, dedication, and even his photography skills are something we’re extremely proud of — we love hearing that your phones are now full of unforgettable memories he helped capture! We’re also delighted that you enjoyed the food, accommodations, and the fact that every detail was taken care of for you, allowing you to simply relax and enjoy the experience. Knowing that you’re already looking forward to coming back to Vietnam just to travel with us again truly means the world to our entire team. Thank you for choosing Amazing Travel Corp, and we can’t wait to welcome you back for your next adventure! Warm regards, Amazing Travel Corp

Amazing Mai Chau - Pu Luong 3 days: Waterfall, Rafting & Trekking: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Hanoi.
How much does Amazing Mai Chau - Pu Luong 3 days: Waterfall, Rafting & Trekking cost?
+
Prices start at $184 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 Amazing Mai Chau - Pu Luong 3 days: Waterfall, Rafting & Trekking 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 Amazing Mai Chau - Pu Luong 3 days: Waterfall, Rafting & Trekking worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 75 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 17 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 Amazing Mai Chau - Pu Luong 3 days: Waterfall, Rafting & Trekking?
+
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 Amazing Mai Chau - Pu Luong 3 days: Waterfall, Rafting & Trekking 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 Amazing Mai Chau - Pu Luong 3 days: Waterfall, Rafting & Trekking?
+
Around 6 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 Amazing Mai Chau - Pu Luong 3 days: Waterfall, Rafting & Trekking 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 Ha Giang Loop 3-Day Small Group - from Hanoi, (Group/Individual) HANOI STREET FOOD TOUR, Incense Village Quang Phu Cau, Hat Village and Hanoi City Tour. 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.
What is included in Amazing Mai Chau - Pu Luong 3 days: Waterfall, Rafting & Trekking?
