Happy traveler - The trip was amazing and well organised. The food, hotel, transportation they provided are excellent. Tight schedule indeed, however they manage it properly. As first timer to the trip, I would like to recommend this to whoever would like to explore Northern Vietnam. As aditional, I advise you to add 1 more night in Sapa for better experience in Fansipan, I think you can ask the tour for assistance on this.
