The tour was amazing visiting the various places we were taken too. The guides we had were good, knowledgeable but the hotels were a bit hit and miss. It was good to have your own designated driver with your guide to get to places and be picked up. The only aspect which was a bit disappointing on the Itinerary received it said the Domestic Flights were included, that was one of the reasons I went for it. We knew we had to buy the International flights but apparently it was an error their end and shouldn’t off been included. Overall, it’s a great tour if you don’t want to plan independently.Show more

Firstly, I want to express gratitude to the operator who was always helpful with her consistent assistance. It was enjoyable to experience 3-day trek across the northern region if Sapa and eat the beautiful food provided for breakfast, lunch and dinner. However, the reason I gave 3 starts is because there are some areas a for improvement: providing a detailed daily schedule so the customer does not need to ask the operator for important information, adjusting activities based on the season, and enhancing guides' English proficiency so as a customer you can get a better insight of the extraordinary uniqueness of the region and their people. Overall, it was a great experience and the two homestays with warm and friendly families were priceless ♥️Show more
