We've always had a passion for trekking and photography. Origin Travel's Trekking & Photo Trip in Mu Cang Chai seamlessly combined these two loves. The vistas of terraced rice fields stretching endlessly were a sight to behold.

We had a fantastic day tour to An Bang Cemetery and Tam Giang Lagoon from Hue. Organising and booking the trip with Angela was very smooth and the itinerary she suggested was perfect. Our guide was Mr Na Le and he was excellent, very knowledgeable about the area and history. He looked after us very well throughout the day. We will definitely recommend Origin Vietnam Travel and use them again in the future.
