The next time we would book a 2 day tour since 1 day is quite short for Cuc Phuong, but after all it was a good tour. Thomas is a great guide and conversation partner who can tell you something about everything.

Der Trip nach cuc Phuong war super ! Wir wurden von einem Auto abgeholt und zurück zum Hotel gebracht, was super angenehm war ! Wir waren sehr erleichtert nicht 2 1/2 h in einem vollen Bus sitzen zu müssen. Wir waren mit einer Guide Dame namens Fifi unterwegs die einfach klasse war ! Sie hat uns noch nebenbei total viele tips und Empfehlungen über Hanoi und über die vietnamesische Kultur gegeben. Drüber hinaus war sie sogar noch so nett und hat uns in die Trainstreet reingebracht das war mega ! War total angenehm mit ihr die Tour in den Nationalpark zu machen. Ebenfalls war sie sehr auf unsere Sicherheit bedacht. Einige Wege waren dann doch etwas steinig und co. Pausen zwischendurch konnten wir auch jederzeit nehmen. Der Nationalpark an sich war auch total schön und naturbelassen so wie es sein soll! Sehr landläufig sodass man echt viel hu erkunden hatte. Alles war auch zeitlich sehr gut angepasst. Nach dem Nationalpark sind wir auch tu den rescure Centern gefahren die aber eher nach engen zoos aussahen aber dennoch ganz nett. Im Park selbst haben wir Max Vögel gesehen und ein paar gekos leider keine Affen u co was wir etwas schade fanden. Jederzeit würden wir auch für weitere guidings gerne mit fifi machen

I would highly recommend this tour to anyone that adores nature! Cuc Phuong is by far the best national park I have visited in Vietnam to date. My tour included a fantastic trek through the jungle to see some beautiful thousand year old trees, exploration of the prehistoric man cave network and a huge lunch comprised of authentic (and of course tasty) Vietnamese food! I also got to drive a scooter throughout the national park (for a small additional fee). What's more my guide for the day (Fifi) was exceptional! Fifi was knowlegble, incredibly friendly and endeavoured to make my day as enjoyable as possible. While Fifi helped me customise my experience to be more on the adventurous side - there were other options for those seeking a more relaxed afternoon (including a trip to the animal sanctuary). If you book this trip (which I recommend you do) - definitely ask for Fifi as your guide! The return journey from my hotel to Cuc Phuong was also very comfortable and I got to see much of the Vietnamese country side. I very much appreciated riding in a modern luxury sedan after an adventurous day exploring Cuc Phuong! In summary - I had an amazing day and cannot recommend this tour enough. In fact, it is the best tour I have done in Vietnam to date!

What a day....... our guides Thai and Huyen were fantastic. We had a great day together learning about each others cultures and visiting some amazing places. The work at the conservation site was great. Well done for looking after these amazing animals. Then a stop at the prehistoric man cave LOL....... interesting and we even got our guides to squeeze into an area they hadn't been to before. After his we headed down for lunch average food, warm beer and not super clean but the guide wasn't happy either and did register his disappointment. Then a trek through the rain forest to the 1000 year old tree. You need some fitness as it is up and down steps , slopes and uneven ground although i'm not very fit and still managed. On arrival a little disappointing as you cant get close to it as its chained off. Would have loved the chance to get close and touch it. Nonetheless and great trip when all is said and done.
