Tours de Ta Phin Village

La nostra guia turística, la Mae, va ser molt bona. Vam anar a moltes cases locals del poble i vam aprendre sobre la cultura del lloc. La caminada va ser divertida i va acabar amb un bon bany de peus amb una beguda! Sens dubte, val la pena.

Vam veure llocs preciosos, cal estar en molt bona condició física per a l'excursió, la vam gaudir moltíssim. L'àpat va ser encantador, una mica massa menjar per a 2 persones. La temperatura pot canviar d'un minut a l'altre. Vam tenir molta sort amb el temps 😍

We had a lovely morning with Lo Thi Sao our Hmong local guide who was bubbly, lovely and informative. She picked us up at our hotel in town and sent us back at the end. We enjoyed walking through villages and fields with Sao as she shared stories of her life, customs, people. Impressed that she picked up English through interacting with tourists, though it was a shock to discover her so young and already a mother of 3. Lunch was simple but tasty with ice views, and we liked listening to someone who grows her own crops, rears her own animals, weaves her own clothes and even builds her own home. This was a less popular route with tourists, and we could avoid the bigger groups as such. It was foggy, but fine as long as it didn’t rain (just sprays). Sao politely told the local ladies wanting to follow us to stay away as we wouldn’t shop. We sadly saw a puppy being run over by a scooter - more common with roads being built. We enjoyed our private hike with Sao very much.

Excursió ben aprofitada. Vaig reservar l'altre dia a causa del temps. El dia va començar una mica tard per culpa meva (ho sento), però tothom va esperar. Va explicar bé l'itinerari i el lloc. La senyora Mai em va fer fotos perquè hi anava sola. Aquesta excursió és perfecta per a aquells amb poc temps a Sapa. Sens dubte, tornaré quan el temps no sigui tan boirós.

La nostra guia turística, la May, va ser la millor. Mai havia vist una cara més feliç i somrient com la seva en la meva vida. Va ser fantàstica i molt amable, servicial durant tot el recorregut. També em va fer unes fotos genials, que és una de les millors parts. Recomanaria a tothom que fes aquest viatge sense dubtar-ho.

Vam fer una bona passejada i era bastant factible amb nens petits. El nostre fill de 22 mesos es va divertir pujant les escales de vidre. El temps va ser raonablement acceptable, tot i que la boira anava i venia. Vam tenir sort que no va ploure. En general, vam quedar contents i vam gaudir d'aquest viatge.

Khu va ser molt professional, educada, honesta i ens va guiar culturalment de manera molt profunda. Té un anglès molt bo i fàcil d'entendre. Recomano molt la Khu. Va ser la millor guia de tot el viatge al Vietnam. Salutacions! 😍

Our guide Cha was great from the start to end She gave us the option of easy route or difficult route and our group opted for the difficult route which offers amazing views and was well worth the effort. Her english was also good and easy to understand. Cha also shared with us about the stories of the locals and how they live here in the villages which is a great learning experience for us. A must go trek if you are into exploring the rice terraces up close and personal not just from afar. There is also lunch provided towards the end of the trekking tour. Just be sure to be in proper trekking gears especially a good pair of trekking shoes for a better experience
