Full description
This is a 7-hour experience in Sapa. It is run by Sa Pa Authentic tour, an operator we book with directly rather than through a reseller, which is why we can hold your place with them before we treat your booking as final.
A private day with a driver-guide is the way to see the most of a Japanese city or region in one day, because it removes the transfers between sights that eat a third of the day on public transport. Prices are usually per vehicle for up to a set number of guests rather than per person, and cover the car, fuel, tolls and the guide; entrance fees and lunch are paid as you go unless the listing says otherwise. Japanese guides are licensed for the work and typically punctual to the minute. Give the operator your priorities, and expect them to reorder the day around opening hours and crowds; that is what you are paying for.
The price covers Private car, Admission tickets, Lunches, French live guide and Bottled water. It does not cover Sturdy footwear, Raincoats, Warm clothing and Personal items, so budget for those separately. Everything included is listed in full on this page; if something is not on that list, assume it is not in the price.
Sa Pa. We need at least one day's notice, and we confirm the date with Sa Pa Authentic tour before treating your booking as final. If they cannot take your date we tell you and refund you rather than leave you waiting.

Traveler Reviews
Merci mai pour cette journée inoubliable pour nous de très beau paysage tu nous a appris à mieux connaître ta culture et tu as créé des souvenirs et du partage Bonne continuation je recommande fortement Nicolas
Notre visite de Sapa avec Mei a été tout simplement inoubliable. Explorer les rizières en terrasse et les villages Hmong à ses côtés est une expérience absolument incontournable. Grâce à elle, nous avons découvert bien plus qu’un paysage magnifique : une culture, des histoires, des modes de vie et une véritable immersion locale. Mei est une guide incroyable : adorable, extrêmement attentive, bienveillante et toujours à l’écoute. Ses explications étaient passionnantes, très claires et d’une grande richesse. Sa connaissance de la région, de l’histoire et de la culture Hmong est impressionnante,
Notre Guide Mei nous a fait découvrir la vie dans la campagne autour de Sapa vraiment super nous recommandons
Malgré le mauvais temps, nous avons pu découvrir les charmes de Sa Pa et ses rivières. Mei nous a fait un chaleureux accueil en nous invitant tout particulièrement chez elle pour partager un bon repas. Merci à elle pour cette belle journée!
