Sapa was on my list for a visit for a longer time although I was in Vietnam for a couple of times and always missed to go there. DCT proposed a tour starting in Hanoi and going to Sapa with a sleeping bus at daytime what took about 7hrs to get there. Sapa itself is quite a touristic place but used as a starting point for tours it's a good option. DCT booked me a fine hotel and from there I was lucky to get very well organized daily private tours in cars and with local guides to remote villages and markets I could not imagine that they still exist. Vivid places with people from ethnic minorities in their local dresses, colorful and truly amazing. Rice terraces, teaplantations, workshops, homestays with "family connection", caves, waterfalls, panoramic views...DCT organized with a lot of skill and passion and made it an unforgettable experience. If you want to see the true Vietnam beside crowded places DCT is the right choice.
