Hansl7 –
Just wrap up my holiday in Sapa. I arrange a Sapa nomad for 2way transfer via limo fr Hanoi / sapa / Hanoi, 1 nite 2days moderate hike, Fansipan n cat cat village . The communication w them via watsapp is very convenient n their response is very fast. The trip went on smoothly . Their service was excellent n very professional. The village hike was excellent!!!
However, I wish the breakfast served at the village homestay could hv been better. It was too little for big eater like me. The village homestay was great n clean too. Meals during hike was great .
Thanks Sapa nomad for making our holiday a wonderful n memorable one.
Their service is excellent 👍
