The Sapa tour was well-planned
Train from Hanoi to Sapa was a first time experience and it did was good. The Sapa tour was well-planned, and the local Black Hmong guide was simply fabulous at taking care of us during the trip.

Really nice and friendly
All the staff you hired for this Sapa Trekking was really nice and friendly. I loved the service!
I expected the home-stay will be something like I help them for cooking, and learning more about their culture but it was more like I stay in a hotel.
