Am I able to join other travelers on this tour?

Unfortunately, we currently do not offer a group departure for this specific program, and it is only available as a private tour. As such, for a solo traveler, the cost can be relatively high since it is calculated based on individual arrangements. Additionally, we would like to inform you that there are no longer homestays available in the Cao Son area. Also, the Coc Ly Market now only operates on Tuesdays, which requires us to adjust the original route and modify the itinerary accordingly. We're truly sorry for the inconvenience and appreciate your understanding. If you're open to exploring alternative options or would like us to customize a revised itinerary that better fits your travel date and interests, we'd be more than happy to assist.

We are very interested in your Sapa adventure 4 days: Pha Long Market and Cao Son Retreat trip in late April. There are two of us and we want to know how big the group will be. What's the biggest it can be (how many people) and will the trip go if it's just the two of us? Will we do any trekking? if so, how long are the hikes?

Group Size: Because this is the special route, not the common one so this tour typically runs as the private tour with more personalized experience. Minimum Requirement: If you are the only two travelers interested in this departure, we of course still run the tour as a private tour with some adjustments in pricing in 2025. Trekking Details: Yes, there will be some trekking involved. The hikes range from 3 to 10 km per day, depending on the trail conditions and your preference. The terrain includes paddy fields, local villages, and scenic hills, but we can adjust the difficulty level based on your comfort.

The guide Sung is perfect: very careful to us, knowledgeable, helpful and friendly! She told us so much about the culture, traditions and people! Moreover we even had a chance to meet her family and visit her home, that was a unique experience, we even haven’t dreamed of! Moreover, everything was organised extremely well - with the nice hotel with a good location and facilities, we have received crystal clear instructions and support during all the trip! And of course Sapa was amazing by itself. Highly recommend this tour and Sung specifically!Show more
