Ta Van: Private Hmong Batik with Muong Hoa Views in Sapa

This is a 2-hour experience in Sapa. It is run by Local Guide Vietnam's Community, 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 batik experience, Instruction in beeswax batik technique, Stories about Hmong culture and traditions and Use of naturally fermented indigo dye. Everything included is listed in full on this page; if something is not on that list, assume it is not in the price.

Local Guide Vietnam's Community sends the meeting point and time by email as soon as the booking is confirmed. We need at least one day's notice, and we confirm the date with Local Guide Vietnam's Community before treating your booking as final. If they cannot take your date we tell you and refund you rather than leave you waiting.
