The trip was an excellent experience to an often overlooked part of Vietnam. The scenery in Sapa is absolutely stunning, which you get to experience as a group on two days of hiking. The homestay is of a high standard and the views are fantastic.

Probably the best way to visit Sapa, as we got to walk in some very remote areas of the region. The length of the trip was perfect too.
