Full description
This is a 3-day experience in Sapa, built around Thac Bac Waterfall, Love Waterfall and The Lonely Tree. It is run by Ethnic Community Tours, 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 door-to-door transfer from Hanoi to Sapa and back, guide for village walk, Flexible daily plans, Scenic exploration by private car and Gentle village walk through Muong Hoa Valley. It does not cover Accommodation and Meals, 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.
Old Quarter. We need at least one day's notice, and we confirm the date with Ethnic Community Tours before treating your booking as final. If they cannot take your date we tell you and refund you rather than leave you waiting.
