Sapa tour

This tour is overrated. - Late pickup time: notified that pick up time is 6AM, but didn't arrive until 6:40. And didn't notify if they are on their way or not. - Not updating the change in hotel: texted the company about the change of hotel 10 days before the trip but the one in charge didn't notify the driver about the change. - Small group: the tour mentioned to have many people but ended up only 2 people in the group.

This trip was great! It’s very scenic and our guide Mu was very informative and friendly. The lunch you get is also super yummy and good value for money.
