This is the “essential tour of Sapa” for those who have only 1 night to spend in Sapa. Cat Cat village, and Fanxipan Mountain are 2 of the most popular destinations. The visibility up on the mountain could vary, even when the sky appears to be blue from the ground. They adjust the order, depending on the condition. It’s not possible to control the weather, but that kind of attention to detail showed how much the company cares about the guests’ experience. The schedule was well thought out, and the amount of free time gave flexibility to do more exploring outside of the itinerary.
The View hotel is one of the luxury hotels in the area for Sapa standards, and conveniently located. My room was clean, the food served at the hotel was delicious, and the staff was hospitable and helpful. They also rent out motorbikes, which I highly recommend, to ride it out to other attractions in the area during free time.
Luan, the tour operator, was kind, accommodating, and thorough. There were so many different combinations of itinerary for the fellow passengers on my bus to Sapa I met, and it was impressive how he knew everyone by their name, and coordinated their schedules.
All of the local guides were knowledgeable, and kind. It was clear they were happy to see tourism returning to Vietnam after the long pandemic.
This last minute trip to Sapa could not have been better. I loved the staff my hotel (Hanoi Esplendor Hotel & Spa) so much, I trusted them with arranging this, and this exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend this tour when you are visit Sapa, and wish to have a quality and comfortable experience.
