Ms.Jillian Andersen’s Reviews
“Our 3-days-trip in Sapa was amazing. Although the weather wasn‘t that good on the first day, we had an excellent tour guide called Phinh. She was very open-minded and friendly. We could ask her a lot about the life and the culture of the ethnic group ‚black h‘mong‘, which she belongs to. She is very sympathetic and has a lot of humor. Her English is very well spoken and she took good care of us.
We highly recommend a trip to Sapa. The landscape is amazing and the people were a lot different to the rest of Vietnam.”
