une vue qu'on n'oublie jamais, c'est certain

Notre guide Pằng était parfaite ! Nous étions un petit groupe, incluant une voyageuse solo, et Pằng a pris le temps de nous montrer et de nous expliquer le côté magnifique de Sapa. Son anglais est excellent, et même pour les personnes qui ne sont pas très à l'aise en anglais, elle a utilisé un traducteur pour s'assurer que tout le monde puisse comprendre et être inclus.

Les vues, l'air frais et la nourriture étaient incroyables. Nous avons absolument adoré !

Remarque : imperméable et chaussures de randonnée recommandés ! !
