Bao was a great guide in the sense he knew the way and warned us of any hazards along the route. However, and this isn't a criticism, but there wasn't much conversation to be had due to the language barrier. We can't complain as his English is far better than our Vietnamese.
The weather wasn't great throughout meaning there were no views at the top which is obviously out of our hands. All I'd say on that, is it's a very tough climb so if you can, try and do it in the warmer months as we did it in Jan.
Still great to reach the top after a slog of a climb and can't fault the guide company for communication beforehand and Bao's professionalism as a guide.
