4/ What do tourists talk about our services?
“We did the 2-day trek with Dong and it was excellent. Hands down, the highlight of our trip. The trek was moderately difficult but that didn’t matter. The views were stunning (even on a foggy, wet day), the food was tasty, and talking to Dong was genuinely eye-opening. He told us about many Hmong traditions and beliefs and we told him some of our stories. It was a wonderful cultural exchange and we feel lucky to have experienced it! Highly recommended!”
