Sapa is so beautiful & and we had a fantastic tour guide Sao show us around for 2 days. Sao is H’mong and she self learned English. Sao works very hard and on the days she is not working as a tour guide sao takes care of her 3 children, husband and 2 buffalo. Come to Sapa and appreciate the beauty & more beautiful h’mong people.

Amazing 3-Day 2-Night SaPa Tour! Our 3-day, 2-night SaPa tour was absolutely incredible! Everything was super organized, and we enjoyed every moment. Lantern Travel did an amazing job, and Julie, along with our local SaPa guide, was incredibly helpful and made the experience even better. Day 1 took us to the charming Cat Cat Village, where we soaked in the local culture and stunning views. Day 2 was all about trekking through breathtaking rice fields—an unforgettable adventure! On the last day, we had some free time and decided to visit Fansipan, the highest mountain in Indochina. The views we

the tour was great, lovely guide, hotel good, receptionist first class and good support from the tour company. Unfortunately the bus from Hanoi had no aircon meaning multiple stops and eventually change to new bus, so 3 hours late arrival in Sapa. Without the bus problems it would have been a 5 staar rating

tour guide was beautiful. this tour said it would include Fanzipan. It did not. we had to book it ourselves and work out when we were going to do it. I thought this was a full on your,with everything sorted gor us. instead it was just a hike that was organized.

The activities were really good, both Cat Cat Village and the hiking through the rise terraces, stunning views, we were very lucky with the weather. The 3rd day is completely self organised, no guide, no transport to Fansipan if you want to go, which was not totally clear from the GYG description. What was clear instead is that the cable car expenses are not included, which is fine because the weather is so variable and need to decide on the same date if it is worth it to go. We did go to Fansipan the 3rd day and the guides were supporting us with info on ticket sale and weather conditions, it

Sleeper bus was adequate. Cat Cat was overrun with commercialism, but the tour aspect was fine. The meal seated (stuck together) as a group was unexpected and detracted from our enjoyment, though the food was acceptable. We had a good amount of time on our own, which was what we wanted.

Die Reisterrassen sind phantastisch, landschaftlich ist es sehr schön dort. Insbesondere unsere kleine Wanderung hat uns sehr gefallen. Das Dorf Cat Cat ist allerdings viel zu touristisch, wir hätten lieber ursprüngliche Dörfer gesehen. Die Organisation insgesamt war einwandfrei, alles hat reibungslos geklappt. Das Hotel in Sapa war jedoch recht einfach.

war ein sehr schönes Erlebnis. Am Anfang waren einige organisatorische Dinge etwas verwirrend. Geklappt hat alles man war immer gut betreut vom örtlichen Veranstalter. Besonders die Guide Vorort war sehr fürsorglich. Kann man empfehlen. Toller Ausflug in eine wunderschöne Landschaft
