5.00The half day trip to Cat Cat was very well organised. Our guide told us detailed stories about the Black Hmong community and their lives. Walking through the terraced fields was peaceful, and I couldn’t resist buying a colourful scarf made by the local women.

5.00The guide led the small group with ease, sharing anecdotes about daily life and village cultural activities. The terrain included wooden platforms, steep stairs and bamboo bridges over streams. At the waterfall, we stopped to take photos and watch a very authentic and informative dance show. All return trips were in air-conditioned vehicles, making the journey easy.
Excellent.

5.00Our guide Lily (or Sung on some tours) was warm, friendly and clever in avoiding upsells. She assisted the local costume team and explained the daily life of the Hmong people. The walk through the flower gardens, streams and cottages was really interesting. Highlights included waterfalls, bridges and cultural performances. A compact tour but rich in culture.
