We were assisted by Wendy with a visit to Sapa. This included airport pickup, accommodation, activities in Sapa and a transfer to Ha Giang. Everything was excellent and we were kept up to date constantly by Wendy. We especially loved our visits to the ethnic villages with our brilliant guide, La. We had a last minute change of dates due to the attack on Iran but Wendy was very efficient in changing everything for us which was a huge relief for us. Thank you for everything Wendy - you really made the start of our trip very memorable.
