“We loved our guide Song, who took us on a 3hour trek through the villages and Rice paddies. She was from a local tribe and talked a ,ot about her culture and their way of life. She was a very gentle and sweet person. Trip up to Fanzipan was great. Excellent views from cable car on the way up. Misty at the top so no view, but this is common. Great experience anyway. For people who don't want to walk the 600 steps you can catch a mono rail to the top. We did feel giddy from the high altitude of 3400 meters.”

“Did not give this a 5 star due to the overnight homestay. The family I stayed with were extremely unfriendly and didn't even introduce themselves at all. The only person who spoke English never introduced herself and whilst eating dinner had her mobile phone on some TV show she was watching with the volume on full making it all feel extremely uncomfortable as you felt like you were interrupting her show if you spoke. The trek I felt was absolutely awesome and am so glad I did this but would strongly recommend not to do this homestay. I am sure that there are many other homestays that would be more…”
