Day 1 review - The journey time was gruelling over 250km of road (5-6 hours). Once there the views were spectacular & quiet, scenic tracks in the country. Su (our guide) accommodated the group's needs and pointed out to us the best photo points. Thank you Su for looking after the group!
Beautiful place to visit. Hotel was wonderful. Hiking downhill (and then taking a taxi back to the top) was great! Tour guide was easy going...(if he would have given us more history - it would have been 5 stars!)
This was so disappointing! The communication was awful and imagine being a foreigner and not being able to speak the language and good luck finding someone who speaks English. I had high hopes because WhatsApp communication was great before the trip started. After that it was a mess. There was no limousine van, it was a car. A smelly car for 5 hours. And no one communicated that change. A driver showed up who only spoke Vietnamese but all he said was Sapa and we were expected to get in the car. No guide, no nothing, no explanation, no answer when I WhatsApp messaged. We arrive to Sapa and the tour guide got switched 3 times again without telling us. Then no car to take us to the first village, we had to walk. Second day was better but again a completely different guide. The Sapa hotel was dirty. After waiting an hour, the concierge said the limousine van wasn’t coming and we were going in another, you guessed it, smelly car. Sapa is beautiful but book a different excursion than this one.
Our guide provided an experience we will never forget. Her knowledge of the area and the ability to explain local culture, history and lifestyle, was wonderful.
A great trekking tour around the beautiful Sa Pa! The tour guide, Eye, was so lovely and knowledgable - couldn’t reccomend more! Stayed in the mini bungalow which was perfect and had beautiful views in the mountains. Food was good too!
I was lucky to have a very smart, compassionate and talented young lady, Ms. VU as my guide. She was very professional and helpful!
We enjoyed a lot the tour and Ai was very nice and kind. Good comunication and she explained all the history and the traditions of the villages very well,we had a great time.
The guide (Ai) was the very big highlight of our tour. We had unlucky weather but she made adjustments for us to enjoy the situation as much as possible in the context. She was funny with very good English. That let us learn a lot about the local culture which is amazing. I can’t even imagine how amazing the whole things would have been with sunny weather
The driver was coughing and gagging both to Sa Pa and back to Hanoi. The bus was dirty. When we arrive at hotel no one was there to greet us and hotel did not have our name. We had to contact the travel agency for information. It was very disorganized. However, the actual tour guide on location was absolutely wonderful on tour to Cat Cat Village. The next day for trekking, the group was too large and we got separated from tour guide. The local women had to help us. Because they help us we had to buy their goods.
We had a great tour to SAPA. Lot of hiking on both the days and quite frankly little tiring and exhausted we all were when the tour ended. Scenes were breathtaking, visit to Cat Cat village was interesting with waterfalls, local music & dance. Views from SAPA VISTA facing the vallley were one of the best you can get from the room in SAPA. I recommend to & fro journey from Hanoy by sleeper bus ( 1x1 setting ). 6.5 hours sitting in limo is not a good idea. Otherwise all good.
