Nice little tour, guided by Bao whom I thank :) It's quite short but this activity allowed me to discover places I probably wouldn't have gone to on my own and to chat with a real local!

The food was soooooo goooodd and the guide was beyond her limits. Not only did she introduce abt the people, the culture and nature of Sapa, we get to taste many exotic dishes here. Very different from the food tour we had in Hanoi! Couldnt ask for more. pls book it when ur in Sapa!!

Giving 3 stars as we were pleasantly surprised with the food that was served. We were able to taste chestnut cakes (not pictured), pho, bahn cuon, pork jerky, and che. By the time we ended, we were quite full. However, this was not the food endorsed in the post, and while we liked and were delighted with the food, we were a bit disappointed that we were not able to try out the food that was initially included and promised in the itinerary. We enjoyed nonetheless, but hopefully this tour becomes more better in the future by being transparent with the restaurant itinerary. Perhaps because we were in a join-in tour? But nonetheless, it was a smooth walking food tour. Props as well to Edward, our guide for being so accommodating and communicating to the locals for us. Hope we could avail this tour again next time, and actually be able to eat the local food promised.

You can do all these activities by yrself with Google map. there's no special thing about this tour and price is too much. There was no solid "well-planned" itinerary during our tour. The guide brought us around Sapa city area ( which can be done by ourselves) and since it was afternoon slot, there is very limited choices of food. not recommended. not worth the price u paid.
