Beautiful scenery, amazing guide. - The tour was very good. Our guide Lah, was also absolutely amazing. He local knowledge was second to none. Check fitness for this tour, although a lot is in the vehicle, there are many steps, but well worth the trek. Sorry Lah for having to help my partner for most of the steps.

Beautiful Sa Pa - We did eight hours with La, our Hmong tour guide. She was absolutely fantastic. We saw waterfalls, magnificent mountain scenery, terraced hills and visited two villages - one an authentic local village in the Lao Chai Valley and the other was a 'tourist' village called Cat Cat Village. We ate delicious food, learnt about the culture and had an amazing day with beautiful La. Our driver was very safe and the car was clean.

Beautiful Culture - This was a wonderful experience. The tour was amazing and my tour guide, SiSi, was awesome. The beauty of the Vietnam culture is just breathtaking, and local food was out-of-this-world delicious. I highly recommend this tour.

Excellent - We had a wonderful one-day car tour with La, and it was truly a memorable experience from start to finish. La was always smiling, approachable, and incredibly attentive throughout the entire journey. She patiently answered all of our questions with clear and helpful explanations, which made us feel very comfortable and well taken care of. What really stood out was her enthusiasm and positive energy. La was not only professional but also genuinely passionate about what she does, and it showed in the way she interacted with us and presented each destination. She shared interesting insights along the way, helped us understand more about the local culture, and made sure everyone in the group was engaged and enjoying themselves. The trip was smooth, well-organized, and stress-free thanks to her thoughtful planning and coordination. Even small details were taken care of, which made a big difference in the overall experience. Her friendly attitude and dedication turned what could have been just a normal tour into something much more enjoyable and special. We truly appreciated having La as our guide and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a professional, knowledgeable, and warm-hearted guide. She played a big part in making our trip so enjoyable, and we would gladly travel with her again in the future

Brilliant tour of Sapa with Li - Our tour was amazing and exceeded our expectations! Our guide Li was wonderful and we really enjoyed learning about her life in Sapa, the traditions and history of the area and getting to see some truly beautiful places. She was also brilliant at taking photos for us, something I almost always forget to do. I had asked the day before if it was possible to swim at the waterfall, and that’s exactly what I did at Love Waterfall - it was definitely one of the highlights for me! The only thing we didn’t love was the visit to Cat Cat, only because it is so commercialised and not representative of a local village at all. However it was great to find out about the history of the village and how it has become more of a theme park, it was also very busy which I find quite overwhelming. I would highly recommend this tour if it is your first visit to Sapa and you want to have the comfort of a private car and driver and tour guide and if I could give Li 10 stars I would!

This tour was most definitely a highlight of our visit to Vietnam - Today , my husband and I had one of the best tours in all of our travels ! Our lovely tour guide Linh and driver were on time to take us to many highlights in and around Sapa . We were taken in a very comfortable car and our driver was very good at navigating Sapa’s challenging roads . I am a senior and have a bit of a challenge with my mobility , she was so helpful with an arm outstretched to help with uneven stairs and I never felt rushed . While in the markets she helped us to understand what crafts were authentic and how to make a good purchase . Linh speaks very good English and told us about the amazing history and all the different ethnic groups that live and work in this area. They took us to many amazing sights . Our tour was very well organized and we had so much fun spending our day with them . The lunch that was included in our tour was most enjoyable. This tour was very good value and I highly recommend it.

Great driving tour of Sapa - We enjoyed a great day with our local guide Sissy & a driver exploring the sights around Sapa. We covered nice waterfalls & scenery, Cat cat village, Sapa market and lookouts along the way. Sissy our local tour guide explained about the produce at the market and answered our questions. We had a great and safe tour with local guide & driver who know about their area.

Duyen was a wonderful... - Duyen was a wonderful host and accommodating of some changes we had to make with regards to the transfer. Linh was an excellent tour guide. We highly recommend booking this private tour - especially if your group has mobility issues/seniors or doesn't want to trek for a long time. We do recommend just booking the day trip and arranging for your own hotel and transfer to Sa Pa.

I wish that the tour did... - I wish that the tour did a better job to explain the physical requirements for this tour. Given it was a driving tour, we were surprised that certain sites on the tour (the waterfalls, Cat Cat Villiage) required hours if walking over significant elevation change. If we knew about this we would have most likely booked a different tour. The tour itself was good and also pretty extensive. I wish that the guide showed more initiative to actually explain what we were looking at. Outside of one section of one of the villages, she mainly just showed us where to walk and answered any questions we had ourselves about Hmong life. She was very nice and we enjoyed our experience, but the best guides give historical and cultural context to the places we visit.
