Not a trek. Don’t bother.

Stewart_K, Apr 2023

Basically, this is a drive up a small mountain, followed by 700+ concrete steps, and then a temple on top. This is followed by a drive to see a couple of spooky abandoned buildings. Lunch was in a roadside shed surrounded by smoking locals taking shots (probably best bit of the day…not exactly family friendly though). The icing on the cake was the forced visit to a lacquer factory in Hanoi (we deliberately chose a tour without obligatory viewing of ‘traditional crafts’, and had been assured this wouldn’t happen) where hoards of very miserable tourists had also been dumped.

The tour guide did not know where we were going

Jacquelyn_K, Oct 2022

I didn’t want to give this a bad review because it was a special, local experience. Our group of three were the only westerners there, and it felt authentic and unique. But, it seemed like our tour guide may not have done this tour before… or maybe was rusty? He definitely had to stop and ask people/locals where things were. When we were out for lunch, our guide was a bit forceful about trying the rice wine, which we repeatedly said we did not want. We were patient in the beginning but towards the end, it was really disappointing to have spent $80 on an experience that was really not high quality. We booked the tour because we wanted to go for a hike, and get out of the city. In some ways, it was less important that we had a guide with strong English, or even to learn about the area - we just wanted to move around in a beautiful jungle. I'd really recommend finding a different tour service or finding your own way to get to Ba Vi if you can.

Great visit! Thank you.

Schöne, mystische Wanderung

Fefi_S, Oct 2024

Die Fahrt war sehr gut, die Wanderung zum Tempel auch bei Nebel eindrücklich. Unbedingt langsam angehen, 1000 Stufen sind nicht zu unterschätzen. Der Abschluss mit der Kirchenruine im Urwald und das feine Essen mit Einheimischen das Tüpfchen auf dem i.
