Privat experience - Nice hike through forests, rice fields, and the village of Lao Chai. Make sure to bring appropriate shoes and enough water. There are several opportunities along the way to buy drinks and use the restroom. At the end, we enjoyed a very delicious lunch at a Vietnamese restaurant in Sapa. Alternatively, you can choose to have lunch in Lao Chai with local people. Mu was an amazing guide—she gave us plenty of time for photos and made the experience feel personal and individual.

Varied hike through impressive rice fields and villages - Very beautiful scenery and beautiful hike. Especially the first part of the tour, the descent and the tour through the rice fields were very cool. Not only was the landscape good, but also that the hike was slightly more challenging due to the matching and sometimes narrow paths. The tour guide was very personable and made the whole thing more approachable through her knowledge. The whole thing also became more approachable through the hike through the various villages. Through the guide you have also learned more about it. Would do the tour again any time

Creating unforgettable memories - From the schedule, give you detailed guidance on changes. As an ordinary tourist, you can go through a hard-to-tune dungeon and enjoy the wisdom of the Aborigines and foods like sugar water. Guy Fui takes care of members carefully and carefully. The best experience.
