Thanks so much for your feedback We are so happy that you enjoyed the Sapa Trekking Experience through Terraced Rice Fields Thanks again for joining us. Have a nice time in Vietnam! Best regards, Luong
Definitely worth the journey. Several options from day trips to home stays available for travellers. We did a day trip with grown up kids and despite the dry weather it was still quite tricky at times it’s not a plain simple walk. if your not up for a proper trail walk with ups and downs, marshes and soaked mud shoes please keep the guide known about it and pick the route that works for your journey. I would love to do the even more rugged journey on my next trip! We had a local guide May who really knew the area and people very well and made a huge impact to our beautiful day ❤️
Thank you very much for your feedback. We appreciate your time and your choice to choose us!
