What an amazing experience. My son (18) and I (55) were met at our hotel by Vang, a local born and raised in the Sapa region. We rode through small towns, rice fields, trekked to waterfalls. Even met his family for lunch and an unforgettable glimpse into true Vietnam life. Vang was delightful and taught us about the Vietnamese way of life. This experience will be with my son and me for our entire lives. Cam on (Thank you) Vang!
PS Just a heads up, riding a motorbike (most in the area are like old Vespas) in Vietnam traffic can be a bit harrowing. Somehow, everyone gets along and nobody crashes! ????. I wouldn’t do this in Hanoi, but around Sapa it’s manageable.
