This tour offered a perfect balance of nature and culture. Walking through Cat Cat Village, I saw lush green rice terraces, old waterwheels, and traditional wooden houses. The guide shared fascinating stories about ethnic traditions, making the experience more meaningful. It was relaxing yet enriching, and the small group size kept everything comfortable. Highly recommended if you’re short on time in Sapa.
