A great wee tour. Our guide, Song, was a lovely wee girl who took us along a wonderful journey. At various points she stopped to give us differing options explaining that going one way would give us some highlights while another gave us something different, that way she was able to tailor a tour to exactly what we preferred. All in I think we walked about 8 miles or so, which took us until mid afternoon so it was a very well paced day which included lunch. One slight downside - 2 old ladies joined us on the outskirts of Sapa and walked with us for the whole day - we weren’t quite sure why they were there. Song explained at the start that people would try and sell us stuff along the way but we didn’t realise that this was the 2 she was talking about. Near the end of the tour when they decided to leave us we got the hard sell as they pulled out their wares for us to buy. A bit uncomfortable and we felt obliged to buy something small. A pity…..it spoilt an otherwise great day.
