We saw beautiful places, you have to be in very good phisycal condition for the tour, we enjoyed is so much. The lunch was lovely, a bit too much food for 2 person. Temperature can change one minute to the other. We were so lucky with the weather 😍

The travel plan including the food and the guide was great. Unfortunately we had this trip during landfall of typhoon bualoi. Our tourguide on the first day was great but my travel partner and me both had the feeling that she underestimated the consequences of the typhoon. We asked a few times about the incoming rain and she assured us that it might rain later in the evening. Then we got caught by an extreme heavy thunderstorm while on the hike. She did handle the situation well and called the driver. On the second day it was only raining the whole day and we got great lunch and explored Sapa for a bit. But on our way home we felt unsafe on the road because our driver was going way too fast for the weather conditions (extreme poor vision and risk for aquaplanning on the road). After we told him to go slower he gave a thumbs up and reduced speed a little. Nevertheless I can highly recommend the tour but if you can reschedule it if the weather is bad.

sleeper train was a little uncomfortable for me but it is quite tolerating at least we safely arrive to Lao Cai station safe and sound, the transport vans in between the tours were very good and lastly the bus going back to hanoi is also very nice and comfortable.
we stayed in sapa luxury hotel which was clean and has a comfortable bed but the best part is the food, from breakfast to dinner were very tasty, has variety and fresh. The organizer is very thoughtful and very attentive so even if you ask for options they would deliver it to you despite the weather conditions since it was raining the whole time i was there i was quite impress with th itinerary provided to me, tour guides i had Susu and Song were very good, informative, patient, helpful and would offer an extra mile just to make you feel satisfied that would really complete the whole experience. the attractions were also very nice despite the rain.

Schedule: December 18 to December 20, 2025
Transportation options: Sleeping Bus (Hanoi - Sapa)
Attractions: Sapa Old Square, Panpan
Accommodation options: The hotel had a pleasant atmosphere with a tranquil bungalow while retaining the old scenery. The food on offer was delicious, and the sweet potato and friendly owner were great.
Tour guide: It was a trekking course that I could highly recommend to hikers. Thanks to the kind and passionate guide (Dow), I experienced trekking in a pleasant and fun atmosphere. If I ever go on a safa tour again, I would like to meet the Dow guide I met again.

May was an excellent guide for this tour. it was very well paced, even though it involved 2 very long bus rides to and from sapa. We were treated really well by all the staff at the restaurants, homestays and of course by May. We were so lucky with the weather and I had so much fun with my group, excellent friends made, excellent experience, if you’re going to sapa I would highly recommend this trip.

What to know before visiting Sapa
Top Attractions in Sapa (Sa Pa)
Fansipan Mountain
Known as the “Roof of Indochina,” Fansipan Peak is the highest mountain in Southeast Asia and a must for adventure seekers. You can hike your way up through breathtaking landscapes or ride the Sun World Fansipan Legend cable car for a thrilling, sky-high view of Sapa, Vietnam.
Cat Cat Village
Step into the charming Cat Cat Village, just a short 15-minute walk from Sapa town. This ethnic Hmong hamlet is perfect for exploring Sapa’s rich traditions, handmade crafts, and daily village life. Watch Hamong women weave textiles, taste local snacks, and admire the breathtaking scenery of waterfalls and rice fields.
Muong Hoa Valley
When you visit Sapa, don’t miss Muong Hoa Valley, one of the most scenic spots in northwest Vietnam. Trek through endless rice terraces, bamboo forests, and ethnic minority villages. The valley floor is dotted with streams, stone carvings, and smiling locals who welcome you with warm hospitality.
Silver Waterfall
Silver Waterfall (Thac Bac Waterfall) is a sparkling gem surrounded by pine forests and misty peaks. The cascading water drops from a height of over 200 meters, creating a refreshing escape for other travelers looking to cool off in Sapa’s temperate climate.
Ham Rong Mountain
For one of the best views in Sapa town, climb Ham Rong Mountain, right behind the Sapa station. The trail winds through colorful gardens and peaceful viewpoints overlooking Sapa Valley and Fansipan Peak. At the summit, the panoramic view of Sa Pa town is simply magical!
Sapa Night Market
At night, you can walk through the vibrant Sapa Night Market, where the aroma of grilled skewers and rice wine fills the air. Local vendors and ethnic minority groups sell handmade crafts, colorful fabrics, and delicious snacks. (Pro Tip: Try fresh Sapa salmon, pick up souvenirs, and chat with friendly locals who bring the market to life.)
Tips before visiting Sapa (Sa Pa)
1. Plan Your Itinerary in Advance
Before you visit Sapa, plan your route and activities to make the most of your time. Include must-see spots like Muong Hoa Valley, Fansipan Peak, and Cat Cat Village to experience Sapa’s natural beauty and local culture.
2. Pack Light but Smart
Since Sapa, Vietnam, is a hill station with unpredictable weather, pack layers, a rain jacket, and comfy trekking shoes for those muddy trails. A light backpack makes it easier to move around bamboo forests, rice terraces, and local homestays.
3. Book a Local Guide
Hiring a local guide is one of the best ways to connect with ethnic minority groups and learn about Sapa’s daily life. Guides from villages like Ta Van or Lao Chai offer authentic insight into traditions, crafts, and the best hidden views.
4. Bring Enough Cash
In Sa Pa town and nearby villages, many shops and stalls don’t accept cards, so cash is key. Withdraw money in Lao Cai province or Hanoi before you reach Sapa to avoid extra fees. You’ll need it for meals, souvenirs at the Sapa market, and tasty treats like Sapa salmon and rice wine.
5. Stay in a Local Homestay
For true cultural immersion, stay with a local family in Ta Phin village or Ta Van village. You’ll enjoy warm hospitality, home-cooked meals, and maybe even help make traditional dishes. It’s the perfect way to experience Sapa’s natural beauty and traditions up close!
