Hanoi - Sapa 2 Days 1 Night Overnight At Local Homestay

This tour could be fantastic if only the communucation was efficient and the bus/transport company knew what they were doing. We were No problem, I may have availability for B&B on Fri and Sat night. It would be a double room ensuite with potential to put in a second bed if required for a 3rd person. This is more affordable at 60 per person per night based on min 2 sharing. If interested let me know, I just need to double check again that the Sat night is available. up by bus at 6am then dropped off at another bus, no explanation as to what was happening. Arrived in Sapa expecting to be brought to a hotel for lunch, dropped at a 'retreat' where we had to register. All of this would be no issue if it were explained to us. When we got to our homestay village we had been booked into a private bungalow but we got a bedroom for the four of us instead. The tour itself was superb with our local guide Mao co, she was exemplary. Because she was s local she explained about thd area, the different tribes and the culture. Thd bus was to depart at 3pm, didnt depart until 3.45pm and noted the TV screen was broken in my sleeper. Showed the driver, who had no English and translated via Google that I had to pay 300,000 for the screen. Had to be very clear with him that it was not us that broke it and then when he spoke to 'someone' by phone apologised to us. On return to Hanoi at 10pm we were just dropped at a bus stop with no one to explain anything to us. We went to the bus station office where it was explained that we had to wait on another shuttle bus service to take us to our hotel however no one could give us a time so with two young children we decided to get a taxi. This was unfortunate as we had paid for hotel pick up and drop off. Unfortunately the organisers need to up their game to ensure the overall experience is a good one. The local guide and the trekking was superb which was the saving of this tour for us.

Very well organized and guide was amazing. Trekking was not overly challenging thanks to a relaxed pace.

I loved everything I lived, the experience will be unforgettable, the spectacular guides, very respectful of the schedules, always accompanying us, very willing always to do their job well

Many thanks to Mao Co for guiding us through the mountains around Sapa. A really strong girl, nice and speaks great English!!!! The views are beautiful and Mao Co's explanations were really interesting. Experiences highly recommended!

We had a very nice Guide Mao Co she also speaks good English. Along the way all villagers walked with them, the villagers are very helpful. They are happy to help you when the roads are slippery while hiking. It was also explained along the way when they harvest and which plants you encounter. If you have any questions, you could ask the Guide.

Great experience with Mao Cô as Guide. A wonderful trek through the rice fields around Sapa. Rural villages, beautiful landscapes, a unique experience!

Mao Cô is a great Guide and has taken us to enjoy the landscapes of Sa-Pa and its villages. We have slept in a Villa with very nice local people with very hard beds Highly recommended

Mao Có is amazing. It has taken us through the essence of Vietnam. An amazing route through some amazing places. Fully recommended to escape from Hanoi.

Very good Guide Mao Cō, has been very interesting, speaks English and understands very well. If you do not come with a Local Guide it is impossible to do a good route.

We have done treking with Mao Co, it is good guide, very friendly and explains everything in many details. I recommend doing the trekking
