The guide La made the experience so such a memorable one. She was so sweet and took her time to explain everything. Her English was amazing and made sure we were all looked after. Highly recommended. Thank you so much La!

We had an awesome time with La and our driver whose name ive forgotten. La has great English, is enthusiastic about her culture and willing to answer questions. She checked in on us and made sure we were comfortable. Our driver was a trooper, calm and patient with the traffic. He made sure we were well looked after 😊 Thank you La and our driver
An incredible experience from start to finish! The tour was so much fun, and Pang's high energy and deep knowledge made it even better. She taught me so much about the local tribe's way of life, and the views along the way were stunning. Unforgettable trip!
We really enjoyed our half-day visit of villages and terraced rice fields by car. Our guide Sisi was very helpful and gave us all the interesting details. It was perfect for our short stay in Sapa. We would highly recommend for future visits. Thank you
Interesting to visit the local villages and to see the difference between the very touristy and the very local villages. Our guide was excellent and gave us a comprehensive understanding of village life and the agricultural seasons as well as the local arts and crafts.
We enjoyed the trip and the guide was very kind but feel it was extremely expensive for what it was. The entrance tickets to Cat Cat village would have been £30 in total for seven of us and a taxi there would have cost a few pounds. The tour around one of the villages was interesting which we wouldn’t have been able to do on our own. The third stop was a walk to Sailing Sapa cafe/restaurant which is beautiful but again could be done independently in a taxi. For almost £280 it was vastly over priced and by far the most expensive tour we did in the whole of Vietnam.
I have problem with my knees and I’m glad I found this tour and was able to enjoy our trip in Sapa. Our tour guide Cece picked me and my husband from our hotel and were driven around in a car to go around the itinerary. We moved at our own pace and not rushed as compared with a group tour. Cece was a very good tour guide and our photographer. Recommended for those who can’t trek and still see all the best spots.
This was absolutely a fabulous way to see Cat Cat village , and surrounding smaller villages. Our tour guide Pang was so incredibly kind and knowledgeable. We couldn’t have had a better experience. We highly recommend this tour of SaPa
I don’t know if I missed some details in the tour description as I hadn’t registered that there was quite so many ‘steps’ down to Cat Cat village. It was really tough on ‘bad’ knees. I worked it out afterwards that the option of the 15 minute walk or the 30 minute walk would’ve resulted in a gentle slope walking into the village, or hundreds of uneven stone steps between market stalls all the way down ( where the sellers are very keen to get you to buy). What was missing here from our guide was probably some commentary or engagement with the sellers and explanations of what they were selling. - as we might’ve supported them and understood a little more - instead it was a straight descent to the village at the bottom. Which was worth visiting, and lots to see ( many people in traditional dress taking photos. ). It was all just ‘OK’. All questions and dialogue mostly came from us to our guide rather than being offered.
So glad we picked this tour. For $45 per person we got more than our money's worth. A private tour, the guide, Pang, picked us up at our hotel in a nice sedan with a driver. Free water bottles and we first went to Cat Cat village. As we walked she covered all sorts of relevant topics about the area and people, stopping to see a woman using weaving loom and another on how they make the dye. After over an hour in Cat Cat, we went to a rendezvous point for the car instead of walking all the way back up the hill, nice. Then we drove on to her village where she showed us how the people lived how she grew up, it was so interesting. We learned how rice paddies work and met some farmers. After a couple more stops to learn more about the area and its people, we headed back to our hotel in sapa. About 3.5 hours.
We really enjoyed the tour through the villages and rice fields. Cat Cat was really amazing. It was nice having the car drop us off at one end and picking us up at the other end.
We had a very enjoyable time walking through the villages and rice fields. Cat Cat is very beautiful. It was nice being dropped off at one end of the village and picked up at the other end.
We had the absolute pleasure of taking a half-day private tour of the Hmong Villages and the stunning rice terraces with Dzi, and it was truly one of the highlights of our trip. From the moment we met Dzi, we knew we were in great hands. As a member of the Hmong community herself, Dzi offered a personal perspective that made the experience feel authentic and meaningful. The walk through the rice terraces was absolutely breathtaking. This tour felt like more than sightseeing—it was a cultural experience. Highly recommend this tour with Dzi to anyone visiting the area.
Fantastic tour with wonderful tour guide Zizi. Lots of information about local villages, customs and traditions. We had to alter tour due to conditions of roads and Cat Cat village being closed after recent Typhoon. We actually got to visit Zizi home village and house instead which was fantastic experience.
Sisi was chatty and friendly. We enjoyed the village with her. We were able to a lot without walking too much.
Great trip around villages and viewpoints around Sapa. Fantastic views, lovely guide and safe driving. Would recommend
Sisi was our tour guide and she was fantastic. The scenery is amazing but Sisi helped us understand about the people who live here which is why we travel.
Our guide was amazing and the driver very helpful picking us up at our hotel. Our guide was attentive,informative and intuitively knew what we needed. We were taken to each of the listed spots which had lovely views and experiences.We were very happy with our trip and would recommend it to anyone ! Great job in 5 hours.🌟🌟
We had a wonderful half day tour, with Sue as our guide. She was very friendly, and very informative. It was so lovely learning about the different cultural tribes of this region, as well as take in the beauty of the rice fields and mountains. Thank you, Sue, for looking after us!
Incredible experience! Our guide was punctual and met us at our hotel. Spoke reasonably good english and was friendly. Zha, shared her Hmong culture and guided us well. We had to adjust our iterinary a little as it was a wet, foggy and abit muddy day. Our driver was excellent, he maneuver a landslide safely and the vehicle was clean.
This tour of the surrounding villages is really to be done. The scenery is beautiful. The village of Cat Cat is very touristy but colorful, the others are more authentic, closer to real life. Our guide was adorable, listening to our requests and advised us and well accompanied during the visits. We are satisfied
This tour was great, the guide very kind, she advised us well and was attentive to our requests. The villages are well worth visiting, and the scenery is absolutely beautiful. Very good experience
Two middle-aged women participated. I wanted to see terraced rice fields because I was going to Sapa, but I found this tour when the hurdles for trekking and other long-distance walks were high and I was hesitant. I could walk around the sights by car, and enjoy various things because it was private. A young Hmong woman named Sisi, our guide, was kind to us. In addition, we were blessed with good weather in Sapa despite the rainy season, we had fun memories, thank you. If you are unsure of your physical strength but want to experience the nature of Sapa, this tour is for you.
Magnifique excursion. Nous avons visité 4 villages de la région de Sapa entourés fe rizieres et de paysages a couper le souffle. Nous avons pu adapter notre visite, en marchant d’un village a ll’autre a pieds plutôt qu’en voiture sous les conseils de notre guide. Notre guide Las ,une jeune fille de 23 ans etait tres sympathique, chaleureuse et nous a donné des explications très interessantes.. Un coin du vietnam à découvrir!
