5.00My friend and I really enjoyed this tour. We booked just a day before and they confirmed shortly after. I appreciated how organized the tour was - we left and finished the tour on time. Our guide Ms. So was generous throughout the tour, sharing her experiences and answering questions with enthusiasm. I would book this tour again, thanks so much!

5.00Lovely experience, Khu was a great guide who answered everyone's questions and told us about Sapa life. It was quite cloudy so we didn't have a view at the viewpoints but that's a risk in winter I suppose!
Great and informative tour!
