de uitstap en de gids waren prima. De uitleg was goed en de gids deed enorm haar best om ons over de omgeving en haar cultuur te vertellen. de uitzichten zijn fantastisch. we hebben enorm genoten. contact net firma was niet goed. de tours ging met een uur vertraging van start. Er werd op voorhand geen contact opgenomen via Whatsapp. Jammer want bij andere uitstappen was dit wel zo.

I recommend the tour first because a jeep can go places a car would struggle and, second, the guide was a member of the Red Dao so was able to provide insights that, perhaps, other tour guides could not. We went to a village and met ladies who make a living partly by producing intricately embroidered items (and selling them to tourists - I did the decent thing and bought some).

It was fantastic. The jeep takes you to some truly beautiful places and gives you a real taste of Sapa. Our guide, May, made this tour even more special. She's incredibly knowledgeable, and a glimpse into her home was the ultimate experience. I highly recommend the tour with May!

Tour local tour guide gave us a very individual and deep impression about the ethnic minorities and there life in the mountains, about there farming and handicrafts for clothing. She explained very well and showed us all details, even a hut where local people live. the trecking through the rice fields was amazing.the Jeep was not a military one but a new comfortable onewhich we appreciated becaus of the Brocken roads which make the drive more comfortable

One of the most amazing private tour I have ever been on! Mr Khang and his crew were amazing in curating the most personal engaging trip I had dreamed off! I managed to meet and mingle with the local tribe and people which really was on one of my bucket list! I would highly recommend anyone wanting to experience Sapa and all that it has to offer with Mr Khang and his crew!

Nous avons vraiment apprécié ce tour en jeep. May est une guide qui prend le temps de répondre à nos questions. Le chauffeur, sa sœur et elle ont été aux petits soins pour nous. Nous recommandons cette expérience !

sfortunatamente a Dicembre la visibilità è molto ridotta e quindi il giro come da programma non ti permette di vedere nulla a causa della nebbia.... molto carina la visita al villaggio ma dovrebbero organizzarsi per delle variazioni di tour o di prezzo quando c'è molto nebbia. consiglio questo tour ma non a Dicembre.
