“I and my girlfriend were going traveling for the first time and were quite nervous about the logistics of this. We had been recommended to go to Sapa on a trek so used TripAdvisor to decide on one. We came across Trekkingsapa which had good reviews so decided to go ahead with them.
They gave us so much information and literally helped us with everything. They gave us options on how to get there from Hanoi and back, booked transport for us and answered the many, many questions I asked.
There may be cheaper tours available but I do not think any will match the experience we had on this tour.“
