First Time in Sapa
It's our first time in Sapa and we're disappointed with the constant wet weather. We had Pang as our tour guide and she is awesome. The scenic on the mountains are beautiful.
Excellent day trip from Hanoi! Highly recommend!
Tom was extremely accommodating, knowledgeable, and kind. Tom and the villagers went out of their way to make sure we had everything we needed. The bus was extremely comfortable, and made the 3 hour drive from Hanoi easy. The food at the restaurant was delicious, and they accommodated our groups many food allergies. On the bike tour we stopped off at a local villagers shop to learn fabric weaving and rode through rice fields, corn fields, and markets. Since this is a day trip we only got to see one area of Mai Chau, but if you have a couple of days to spare I would recommend stay more days if possible! Thank you for making our trip memorable and fun!
Great Hanoi private tour with Leon
Leon organized a day tour for us in Hanoi. He is very professional and patient. He explained the history in Hanoi in greater details and was always considerate for my two young kids. It has been a great experience to have Leon as our tour guide and we would certainly consider him for future tours
