What to do and see in Sapa, Lao Cai Province: The Best City Tours

May 25, 2021 Elouise Mccaul

The northwest market town of Sapa is colorful and charming, providing the perfect oasis in the midst of a strenuous mountain trek or rice-paddy tour. The Gothic stone church at the center of town is a bull’s-eye in the center of shops and stalls, serving as a reminder of the town’s French missionary influence. Dine on Vietnamese or European-inspired cuisine downtown, and don’t miss the Saturday night "love market," one of the most potent—and strictest—single’s nights imaginable.

We had a guided tour arranged by our holiday tour operator. We were so glad we did , as you would not know much after. The ride was very exciting, but make sure you confirm the price for outgoing and returning. The lake is full of Lotus flowers in the summer. Tinh Tam Lake was where the Emperors came to relax, also popular with students who also come here to study.

I planned a personal experience with Indochina Beauty travel. Everything was done through Kathy Nguyen. I have no words for the amazing service from Kathy. I was doing a solo sabbatical year and everything she organized for me was very safe. I am from Guatemala, the other side of the world, plus I was recovering from some health issues, and Kathy made me feel very safe. She would call me every day to check up on me and remind me of my activities for the day. She informed the drivers and guides of my health condition and they were very accomodating. In a few words, Kathy was my GUARDIAN ANGEL in Southeast Asia. I had the most wonderful traveling experience ever, I will be forever grateful and I definitely recommend her and the agency!!! I will definitely use them again. very knowledgeable tour guides, beatiful hotels.

We were collected from our hotel in the Old Quarter on time and met our guide Duong (aka Sugar) He spoke very good English and was very friendly. Once at Halong Bay, it was quite chilly and misty at times but we knew it could be in March. All the meals were very nice but a lot of the dishes were deep fried. All the activities were very interesting but I think could have been quite overcrowded if it was busier. The photo of the room gives the impression it's large, spacious and gleaming, they were actually small, cramped and slightly dowdy. But we didn't spend much time in the room anyway so not really a problem. The downstairs rooms are larger but are noisier as they are closer to the engine. Waited a long time for the coach when we got off. All in all a very good trip.
