So far, so good! Had a great and comfortable trip yesterday. Thank you for the complimentary water, appreciate much for the thoughtfulness!The bus was generally clean and no bad smell. We will surely book again if we will visit Sapa in the near future and recommend your service to our friends. Keep up the good job!

Very very good experience! Winnie was our guide and she was clear and knowledgeable. We went to the market and got to learn about local ingredients. We made 5 dishes - beef pho, spring roll, bun cha, papaya salad and egg coffee. Everything was delicious and it was fun getting to know other people as well. Vegetarian options are also available. Highly recommend!

Excellent tour. Hanoi is great during the day, but it is beautiful with the lights at night. A must-see tour
