The jungle trek
Review of: Ba Be Adventures 3 days 2 nights
Beautiful places. After seeing the ba be national park it might not have been necessary to go to Ninh Binh. It’s an okay price considering the excellent accommodation, food, and the quality of the sightseeing. Mr. Giang was an excellent guide! Excellent food. We are like royalty. Please put up a curtain in front of the window in the bathroom. A bedside table would also be nice. The swimming pool was great. I did not know about this when booking. Consider highlighting on the website...Read More for future customers with kids.

Fantastic way to escape the tourist traps!
Review of: Adventure to Ba Be National Park 3 days 2 nights
From start to finish, this company went above and beyond to make sure this was a truly unforgettable trip. All of the staff were friendly and helpful when booking the tour and as soon as we met Mr Linh, we knew we had chosen the right company! Our trip to Ba Be was a definite highlight of my time in Vietnam. As well as seeing all of the main attractions, which really are breathtaking we also enjoyed getting off the beaten track and experiencing some of the local villages and meeting the ...Read Morepeople that live there.
The home stay was a fantastic experience. The traditional Tay house was really beautiful and the hospitality was amazing, exactly what you need after a day of exploring!
The caves in Ba Be deserve a special mention and I would really like to thank our fantastic guide for sharing his amazing bank of knowledge it really made this trip so much more special being able to find out about the history and traditions of the area.
I would definitely recommend this company and would like to say thank you to everyone at Mr Linh's travel agency for making this such an amazing experience.

lovely place to escape the hustle and bustle of Hanoi City
Review of: Adventure to Ba Be National Park 3 days 2 nights
We did a 2 night stay at Mr Linh's home stay Ba Be lake to see the other side of Vietnam. I will point out that this is more of a backpacking hostel than a homestay We had a private room that was big comfortable and clean with good airconditioning. There are also dormitory type rooms and the bathrooms were very big clean and there was plenty of hot water.. The breakfast was basic but very good especially the pancakes and bananas with honey. The evening meal was basic village type foo...Read Mored and surprisingly filling.
The countryside and villages made a great adventure and the tour guide Tung and Thuy our homestay host were fantastic. They were always checking to see if there was anything they could do for us and were great company. Both spoke exceptionally good English so communication was no problem at all. It was refreshing to have someone that could explain about the various caves we visited and villages we saw as we travelled along the Nang river. I am sure we would not have enjoyed our trip nearly as much with out them.

Pioneers on Ba Be Lake 3 days 2 nights
Review of: Adventure to Ba Be National Park 3 days 2 nights
We booked the above as a private tour.
Why do folk go abroad and do these sort of trips? We like to explore, discover, gain new experiences. Mr Linh understands this perfectly. His strapline on his website 'we take you to parts other can't reach' is exactly what you get.
The drive to Ba Be from Hanoi is long but incredibly interesting (more interesting than the drive to Halong Bay). You drive through lots of towns, villages and countryside and yo...Read Moreu get a great views and inisght to the country and day to day life.
The homestay is simple but beautifully built accomodation in the similar style of the local housing. A great hot shower in the shared bathroom and I was impressed to see there was air con in your little room (and mosquito nets) too. I think we were outside tourist season and it was a real treat having the homestay and most of the national park practically to ourselves!
What I loved about this trip is that you felt you were seeing some really special things, not what you get in your average package tour. We were taken to a local Tay Village and you can see how people lived, see their homes and how they lived off the land. Another day, we popped to one chap's house who ran a shop and our guide brought some food with us which we cooked and ate there - how special is that?! We were taken to the local market, literally the only westerners there and market was for locals - selling all sorts from meat to clothes - watching all this and taking it all in was very special, felt very honoured to be there.
Ba Be National Park itself is a little haven. Highly recommend cycling and kayaking - a great way to see this incrediblly special place.
Our tour guide Manh - was amazing, really looked after you. Great English, interesting chap and did the more intimate bits of the trip (like visiting the Tay people's homes) with the utmost discretion.
Mr Linh - very impressed with his business. He understands what travellers want. I believe he supports the local Tay community (which is why we could potter around and see how these people lived). His website is very helpful - detailed breakdown on how much physical activity you're doing on each, what to pack - invaluable.
Highly recommend you add Ba Be National Park with Mr Linh to your trip itinerary - an unforgettable place, a wonderful experience.

Review of: Adventure to Ba Be National Park 3 days 2 nights
I had a fantastic trip to Ban Gioc & Ba Be Lake with a small group tour, once of the few places that actually provide this and not a private tour. As a lone traveller I wanted to meet some others along the way.
The homestays were lovely and catered for us very well, our bellies were full and the accommodation was great. They were also great fun.
It’s a long trip but with plenty of stops along the way, our driver along and tour guide Giang were fant...Read Moreastic, I couldn’t fault them. Giang would stop and show us various temples and significant places with the war and tell us about them.
Ba Be Lake was lovely and not too crowded, it is very peaceful apart from the cockerels who will wake up when they get up haha.
Ban Gioc was beautiful, you can’t swim there but can get your feet in and can get very close, a little boat goes close to the waterfall for some good pictures which is included in your price with Mr Linh’s.
Giang was a great laugh, always joking and was an AMAAAAZING tour guide.
I would definitely recommend if you want something a bit different to other tourists spots like Ha Long Bay, I much more enjoyed this trip.

Fantastic experience and excellent guides
Review of: Adventure to Ba Be National Park 3 days 2 nights
Thoroughly enjoyable trekking through the jungle and villages. Our guide for the Trek was Son, he was very pleasant and gave us good insight into the way of life for the villages.
Homestay at Mr Linh's was far better than we expected, facilities were clean and comfortable and the food, wow it was great! Definitely needed the hike after eating way too much at each meal.
Day 3 we took the boat with a different guide Loi. The boat trip along the lake to a local village was...Read More pleasant. Loi took us for a tour of the local village and gave us lots of insight into how the families all live together. Highly entertaining experience and lots of humour, especially when he made mating calls for the roosters and chased piglets :)
Loi was the best guide I had all trip, he not only gave great insight to the Vietnamese culture and history but was so willing to help and give tips on other parts of Vietnam we should explore.
Highly recommend Mr Linh's adventure and hope you are lucky enough to get Loi!

Stunning trekking, caving, and boating experience in Ba Be National Park
Review of: Adventure to Ba Be National Park 3 days 2 nights
Our guide Billy picked us up at our hotel at the expected time and entertained us on the drive to Ba Be with many interesting facts and stories about Vietnam and his own experiences. He was always great fun and knew a lot about local culture, geology, fauna and flora. On our 3 day and 2 night stay in Ba Be we visited two interesting caves, did a wonderful trek to hidden tribal villages of the Hmong and Tay people, had the opportunity to swim and kayak in the lake and enjoyed really good ...Read Morefood at Mr Linh’s homestay. Mr Linh senior himself was there too and had great fun teaching us Vietnamese drinking rhymes over a glass of rice wine. The boat tour on the last day on the lake and the river was particularly awesome. The accommodation was clean. They even had WiFi (good enough to stream). We danced in the rain, enjoyed amazing views on the mountains, made friends with local dogs that followed us all day and marveled at a thousand bats in the caves. In short: The tour surpassed our expectations. We enjoyed it a lot.

Review of: Adventure to Ba Be National Park 3 days 2 nights
An amazing, unspoiled, quiet, beautiful place well worth the visit. Away from the crowds.
We spent our first week in the in Hoi An and Hue which was great but manic. So much going on, so busy. Ba Be National park was the opposite, so quiet and unspoiled. A beautiful place and not touristy.
We went with Mr Linh’s Adventures. With our guide Loy and driver Mr Long. They were amazing and totally added to the experience and could not do enough to make it the best experienc...Read Moree. Adjusting things to suit us personally to get the most from the experience. I’m not sure how you could do this without a guide and couldn’t recommend these two enough.
We had a real feel what real life is like in this part of rural North Vietnam. It’s not spoiled by hoards of tourists and I felt that if we weren’t their life would just be going on regardless.
My wife organised the trip from our home in the UK and it couldn’t have gone smoother. Even us being delayed by a missed overnight train in Vietnam was not a problem and smoothly handled by the team at Mr Linh’s
Thanks
Simon, Nat, Izzy and Lois.
