I had such a lovely experience on this private walking food tour in Sapa! My guide, Nay, was wonderful. She speaks very good English and shared so many interesting things about the local food, ingredients, and food culture in Sapa. I especially enjoyed walking around the local market with her and getting to try different local delicacies that I probably wouldn’t have known to order or try on my own. It felt like a much more personal and authentic way to experience Sapa beyond just visiting the usual tourist spots. Nay was friendly, knowledgeable, and very easy to talk to, which made the whole
We had a wonderful walking foodie tour with Hang Nay Mu. She took us to some authentic venues we would not have known about to visit. Her knowledge was excellent and we shared some interesting stories. We would highly recommend this tour. A very pleasant experience indeed! Thank you so much Hang Nay Mu.
I loved my tour with Moo, it was great to be able to talk to a local minority hill tribe lady and discover what their lives are really like and learn about their culture.i really had no concept of their lives and culture this experience has given me a much deeper understanding and wonder at the differences in our lives . Moo spoke great English and was able to answer all my questionsand I asked her everything that I could. I loved our walk together through the markets where she explained to me what all the different foods were, and got samples for me to try lots of different things that I had
Wow! Mu is so personal and very inviting to share her customs and traditions with me. She is very knowledgeable and informative, dont be afraid to ask her questions! She will answer all of them. This is a very special tour you don’t want to miss
Interesting flavors and quite good food in Sapa. Our guide Zua is great and super friendly!
It's an authentic Vietnamese Market experience. The guide was very informative and joyful to be with.
Loved all of tour, maybe English could be abit stronger, but overall enjoyed the tour
Edward was a great tour guide and super friendly. The food was delicious and it was great to visit restaurants I wouldn’t have visited without a local guide.
We tried 5 different foods that were all very different. Some local and some weird haha It was a lot of food and we did not leave hungry. (evening tour) The guide was unfortunately not very knowledgeable about specifics of the meals. "What is in this?" "Some type of vegetable" 🙃 Also not very talkative. Happily tried to answer questions but was rarely the one to talk first. But she tried her best :) Because of a miscommunication from the management the guide arrived late, but that was no fault of her.
약속시간을 1시간이나 늦게 도착했는데 기다려주시고 최선을 다하는 가이드님 감사합니다
Unfortunately, this food tour was a disappointing experience and did not meet our expectations, especially considering the price of over 25 USD per person. The tour was advertised as a three-hour experience, but when we arrived, we were told it would last only two hours. In the end, we returned to the meeting point after just 1.5 hours. We did try five different items—pho, a small pork skewer, a small portion of dry colorful rice, a chestnut cake, and one tiny piece of dried meat—but the overall quantity and quality were underwhelming. We learned a little about the dishes, but the explanations
la guide était très gentille mais nous n'avons pas du tout mangé les plats qui étaient sur la description. nous avons mangé un banh mi, un bun cha et un beignet a la viande. j'aurais bien aimé goûté la cuisine hmong. par contre la guide parlait très bien anglais et j'ai appris plein de choses. c'était super de voir le marché.
