The highs and highs of Sapa. - This area was amazing, its a great opportunity to blend the hustle and bustle of Vietnam to being in the countryside in a farming area as if cities never existed. the mountainous terrain is stunning, met by the rice terraces and farm houses throughout. So much to do and see in this wonderful part of Sapa.

Halong bay and Sapa tracking - We contacted Hoa Ta directly via WhatsApp about boat trip in Halong bay. She booked for as 3D2N trip on boat which we found on Google with transfer from hotel and back to the airport. Then we asked her about guide for tracking in Sapa. She arranged everything perfectly. Everything went really smooth and without any trouble. She even asked us about our trips if everything is/was ok. Bonus to that, she answered sooo much questions about Vietnam in general. Definitely great experience and we are very thankful. Recommend!

A very authentic experience - Very well-organized tour; thanks to Hoa. As a solo female traveler, I really appreciated being in such good hands and felt super safe the whole trip, knowing she had planned all my whereabouts very carefully. Special thanks to her husband, as well, who was kind enough to wait for me at the office and looked after my luggage while I was having dinner before I got on the night bus. The Sapa tour was pretty interesting and also kind of intense 😅 Indeed, it was demanding physically and challenging on the overall - but very informative. Our guide and hostess was amazing - very welcoming, joyful and full of life and humour. Her whole family was super kind - wonderful people! I would recommend this tour to someone in good physical shape and condition with an appetite for exercise and hiking - especially because the trails can be challenging. Moreover, you get to experience local living conditions, so be prepared to get out of your comfort zone. Also, you start hiking as soon as you’ve had breakfast with no access to the homestay, so you should be aware there’s no time to rest at the homestay. I would recommend to wear hiking clothes already before getting on the night bus. Also, you should be aware that’s a short night before a big hike! Same, on the way back, you get on the bus with your hiking clothes that can be muddy 😅 On the overall, it was an awesome experience. The only thing I regret is not having had some time in the town of Sapa to do a bit of sightseeing. What I would suggest is to stay in Sapa town one day, do some sightseeing in the town and rest, then hike on the 2nd day from Sapa to the homestay in the Hmong village, spend the night there, then hike in the morning and go back to Hanoi.
