The guide was great - the guide was great, very welcoming and full of background information about the village, rivers and waterfalls. We walked over bamboo suspension bridges, flower gardens and experienced living with the locals selling handicrafts without feeling constrained. There was a short dance performance with music and traditional costumes. A short, beautiful walk with opportunities to learn about the culture and take photos

Highly recommended great trip - The guides spoke excellent English and were good communicators. Our trip moved at a comfortable pace, sharing stories about village life and local crafts. We passed a French-built hydroelectric plant and admired the majestic Tien Waterfall on stone steps. The path was steep at times but still easy to walk. The views of the valley, bridges and waterwheels were spectacular.
Highly recommended great trip

Great village experience - Great way to explore the Cat Cat village. Our guide Pang was brilliant and very informative. The village itself, although touristy is pretty and scenic. It’s nice to be near the water! Would highly recommend. We left at 8:30 and were finished by 11:30/12 so perfect to then explore other parts of Sapa in the afternoon.

Great tour guide - Our guide was friendly and informative from start to finish, explaining the history of the H’mong people and pointing out local flora. The walk led us through terraced rice fields, wooden bridges and a cascading waterfall. The cultural dance performance added a heartfelt touch. Only about 2 km from Sapa, the scenery was lush and tranquil, making it a memorable half‑day excursion.
