Wonderful tour. Made great friends along the way, and enjoyed picture-perfect Sapa valley. I liked how your staff was very friendly, fluent in English, and safely guided the group through some challenging terrains. Nicely done

We booked the trip in 3-night 2-day to visit Sapa and it was turned out extremely amazing. We took a night train and it was comfortable with very good A/C. Sapa itself was incredibly beautiful. We absolutely loved the breathtaking views of the terraced rice paddies, steep hills and ethnic villages, like a picturesque. It was great to meet and interact with the villagers to know more about the local life. A great experience and good value for money!

We went tracking for 2 days. We were three generations together, my two sons aged 9 & 12, me and my partner and my father aged 70 with his partner. Our guide has in-depth knowledge of the area, the traditions of the local people and the nature. I found him to be perfectly balancing sharing information and just letting us walk in silence and enjoy the trip. She listened to our needs and came up with suggestions for different route options. All three generations found him likable and a perfect guide to be on tour with! Everyone was really happy with the trip. Thank you! We highly recommend you to anyone that wants to experience hiking in the Sapa area.

Hi there, We are considering booking this 7 day cruise commencing 3rd January 2020. We was wondering the cost of also adding on a full day trip to Cu Chi Tunnels with the Cao Dai Temple the day before (2nd January). Look forward to hearing back.
