Vietnam · SAPA TOURS

Trek from Sapa through Hmong rice terraces to Lao Chai and Ta Van, with local lunch, mountain views, culture, and an incense-making visit.
“We had a really lovely day out with Lam, and got very lucky with good weather. Our only little note for other travellers to consider, is that other villagers are extremely persistent in selling their wares, not only in the market place/ towns/ road side but will actually follow you on long portions of the trail. We had someone follow us for several hours, walking along side who after we’d said “no thanks to” many times we were told by other villagers she’d only come with us to try and sell, and would now be walking back many hours to find other people to do it all again.”

“What a terrific day. A great group of people and so much seen and done. The communication was excellent and the pick up on time. I felt we had the right amount of time at each site and May guided us well. She was helpful, communicative and led us well. Fansipan was misty and windy but an amazing spot to reach. I can't thank May enough for her professionalism and caring today. Well done. You made the day complete.”
