If you go to Hanoi, go to Sapa❣️

Round trip sleeping bus from Hanoi city, more lodge stay than we expected, comfortable bed and meal 🙌🇫🇷🇺🇸🇬🇧 and we sat around the table and everyone was happy. The breakfast crepe was excellent. Our local guide, SUO, also made it easy for us to listen to English and gave us a taste of childhood games with plants and plants like bamboo, which are said to be good for the throat and gastrointestinal system. It was thanks to her that I had such a precious experience 🫶🫶🫶

Great experience but unorganised and bad shared limousine

The experience didn’t start out great for us. We had some bad experiences with the shared limousines. We were picked up and taken to a stop, then told to change to a different car. There was limited English and we were told the car would arrive in 15 minutes. We waited for about 30 minutes then got into this other car, no information as to what was going on. When we got to Sapa, the driver dropped off the other passengers to different hotels then asked us where we were going. We were confused as we weren’t given any details for a hotel or where to meet the tour guide. I tried messaging the trip operator and calling multiple times no answer. We tried calling the company and spoke to someone, but they didn’t seem to understand what was happening. We ended up being dropped at a hotel and told to wait there 15 minutes. We waited in the cold for 60 minutes trying to figure out what was going on. By this point it was 2pm and we hadn’t had lunch or been given directions for lunch. Ended up getting in touch with the tour operator who was great and sorted it out for us. For us to go into the hotel eat lunch and wait for the tour guide. She was apologetic and offered us a private guided trek instead of the group to which we accepted. The trek was amazing, a once in a lifetime experience. Was difficult and 1/2 of it was complete mud (so be prepared). There is a lot of slipping and a lot of difficult sections. If you don’t have proper boots make sure you take the option to hire the gumboots. Homestay was amazing no complaints there. On our trip home we had another bad experience with the limousine. He picked up 2 Vietnamese passengers along the way and proceeded to drop them to their hotels before us, which added another 1 hour to our already very long trip. We were tired and just wanted to get back and shower. There was also no communication as to what was going on, he was just driving around the city and dropping them off. Overall; would I recommend yes. But be prepared!

Perfect trip, would do it again

The trip was perfect. Everything was well organised and worked out perfectly. Our guide Ai was super friendly and nice. She knew a lot of inside information and let us feel welcome and save all the time. Would totally recommend it and would do it again.

Awesome Experience to try

The overall experience of the Sa Pa tour was incredible. We were shown around the villages by our tour guide May and she was very helpful and her English was excellent if you are in Vietnam it is a must see
