The Trip is worth it, the caves are beautiful and the guide was friendly. In the caves you can go around on your own without being bound to the group.

You should definitely take this tour, the experience is incredible. The Paradise Cave is simply incredible, the photos do not convey even half of the beauty. The guide Shokolad was very attentive, told a lot of interesting information.

The caves, created by the magnificent work of nature, were even more amazing than I had imagined. The transfers, lunch, and explanations at each location were all very thorough and well organized. The driver was a safe driver, but perhaps he was driving a little too fast. We had a very enjoyable day.

A tour that you should definitely do. Picked up from the hotel on time. Very good driver, the guide spoke good English and impressed everyone with his friendly manner. The Paradise Cave is simply overwhelming, pictures can't do it justice. The lunch was simply great. The boat ride to Phong Nha Hell was also great and this cave is also worth a visit.
