We opted for the 2d1n tour to sapa including cat cat village and fansipan peak. Cat cat village was amazing and so was fansipan except for the weather we got while up there. You spend 6-7hrs on the bus one way but it’s totally worth it. Because of the travel time I try and do the 2 nights 3 days if you can and there’s plenty to do while up there. Our tour guide and organiser were very helpful, harry came to the bus in hanoi to make sure we got on okay and that we were all ready to go which was nice.

Really fun and activity packed. The sleeper bus was relaxing. Our hotel Chapa Dew was only okay and food was ordinary but location was close to city center. Amazing experience to be surrounded by a sea of clouds. Local female Hmong Tourist guide was excellent and very accommodating. Speaks good English. This tour is worth it!

We booked this excursion with the idea of visiting rice paddies and climbing a mountain peak with good views. The rice fields we saw from afar. In return they took us on a walk through a villa full of local shops, which is fine if you want to buy some local product, but for me it was left over. Although then the waterfall area was fine. Of course, all full of tourists. The next day was the excursion to the Fansipan. The weather did not accompany us since it was all cloudy, but it gave a mysterious air to everything that was very cool. Full of tourists also by the way. The hotel was fine, several local dishes were served along with rice, and the staff is quite attentive. Very nice guides, dressed in their traditional costumes. In general it was good but very touristy, full of people.
