“The service was excellent right from booking the trip (got an almost instant message to share more about the trip and getting the info required), picking up (prompt with reminder) to the hike itself. We had a guide to our party of two. The guide Cho was friendly and allowed us to go our own pace. Lunch was tasty. We took the cable car down and were given a ride back to our hotel in Sapa. We really enjoyed ourselves and recommend this.”
