Sapa Vandring

Det är en rolig och minnesvärd upplevelse. Vår guide Pam är mycket tillmötesgående och lättillgänglig. En tur med ytterligare lärande om hur de syr och färgar kläder var en fantastisk upplevelse! Att få chansen att uppleva den vietnamesiska kulturen och traditionella kläder var den bästa delen av turen. Dessutom var regnbågsfärden och vandringen rolig för mig. Om det finns en chans att du kan be om en guide, överväg Pam, hon är snäll och supervänlig!

We had an amazing time exploring Lao Chai and Ta Van Village with our tour guide Su. The trek was breathtaking, with beautiful rice terraces, peaceful villages, and stunning mountain views at every turn. Our guide was friendly, knowledgeable, and made the entire journey enjoyable and hassle-free. We especially appreciated how our guide shared stories about the local culture and way of life, making the experience even more meaningful. The pace of the trek was perfect, and we always felt well taken care of throughout the day. Thank you for giving us such a memorable adventure in Sapa. We highly recommend this tour to anyone who wants to experience the beauty of Lao Chai and Ta Van Village!

Wonderful guide, one of the most magical experiences I had in Vietnam! the guide, the tour, the route, everything! I just love it

Everything was perfect, and we could understand and learn more about the city. The tour guide explained everything so well, showing the most important aspects of the city. I am so grateful for the full experience and dinner afterward, as well as for the care and attention provided.

it was a very beautiful one of a kind experience! liked the sceneries, knowing the culture of vietnamese locals and cant forget the hospitality of pan, especially when i told her that i havemt eaten pumpkin flower for a long time. we were given options which way to go and we chose the harder one, and indeed made me sore tje following day.

scenery: Awesome, going through the paddy and corn fields, Village to village. We are lucky some lady is working on her paddy field so I have good shot. difficulty of the hike: Easy hike but the downhill is actually quite steep. Our hiking day is shine bright but not freaking hot. Track is dry, not muddy so it was easy. It surely will be slippery downhill if it's muddy guide: Different guide texted night before and another texted me in the morning. They change our guide but both of them is friendly and easy to communicate. itinerary: We take this so no need to go find lunch after coming back. And food is simple but good. mostly vegetarian, and only chicken. Drinks is separate but the price is cheap and reasonable. The only things I'm a bit annoyed is how persistent the village kids/lady trying to sell things. Try help a bit and 10more coming. Nego until satisfied coz their opening price is scam. I bought from the lady that help me during hike, consider as her tips so it's fine.

We enjoyed our time with May. She customized the walk based on our ability (we took many breaks, I needed them). She made bamboo canes for each of us to helped with the uphill walk. She also explained each of the medicinal properties of the plants she picked along the way. She was caring and attentive. Our walk ended with lunch (reminded me of my mom's cooking) and a herbal foot bath/soaked. Since we are both Mien (aka Red Dao in Vietnam) and it was just us, we conversed mostly in Mien. It was interesting to learn the subtle differences in our language based on our geography (Thai/Lao Mien vs Vietnam Mien). If I were to visit Sapa again, I would do it again. Note: there were women (Red Dao and Hmong) who will try to sell their textiles to you at the end. I know I can get the same thing at the market at a cheaper price, but I didn't have the heart to bargain for a few dollars. I just bought at stated price to support.

Hiking difficulty: moderate. Cat Cat Village is quite commercialized. The rice terrace hiking scenery is nice, but the itinerary arrangement is so-so and not very compact. Basically, a whole day is spent on the round trip. Waiting for the bus back takes a long time. The food at the hotel is very bland and quite average. The hotel room we stayed in had a serious sewage odor from the toilet; it was very smelly.
