3/ Our tourists’ sharing
“We arrived in Sapa for a 2 days trek. We wish we had stayed longer! But we spent the 2days doing the “longer” loop with our super fun and friendly guide, Dzung. Even though the day was super misty and we couldn’t see much, we had an amazing time trekking through the mountains, sharing stories and cultures with Dzung. We had a delicious lunch in a local village house and trekked on. Would love to come back- on a nicer day!”
