Chose this tour company thru my canadian travel agent. Excellent choice. It was a private tour. Our guide, our driver my husband and I. It was a good choice considering the covid 19 epidemic. From beginning to abrupt end of our tour we had excellent knowledgeable guides and top drawer accommadations. The tours were well planned and gave us a good understanding of their homeland and what made them proud. We had time to investigate things on our own as well. Unfortunately we had to leave one week early but plan to return one day. We would not hesitate using this company again. We are in our 60's and our activities met our abilities. Felt safe and well informed with necessary changes. We were given a refund for places we were unable to go to

I had a really great & fun time on this tour. I went on my own and while waiting for the bus to arrive to start our journey a couple of young Vietnamese girls took me under their wing by talking to me and kept it up all the way thru the tour. They were very friendly and delightful. Also Luong (Louis) was a lot of fun too. He was very friendly, professional. ejoyed a good joke or two and always made sure that I was fine and enjoying myself and all the activities that I did with the other tour members.

We booked our tour the night before from our hotel room. At 8 am our guide was at our hotel to pick us up and take us to the bike shop. We decided to get drivers so we could focus our attention on the scenery. This turned out to be an excellent choice. The drivers kept us safe and comfortable while we got to enjoy the beauty of Sapa and it’s villages. We stopped for all the pictures we wanted and visited two beautiful waterfalls. We stopped in a small village and had a delicious lunch which was included in our package. The tour company also provided us with helmets, knee pads and bike jackets to keep us safe. I would highly recommend this tour if you want to be able to take in all the beauty Sapa has to offer. Thanks to our amazing drivers we had a great day

We had an amazing experience when we were on the cruise ship! But when we were picked up on the bus for our drive to the cruise ship, we were very uncomfortable with our guide. The man in charge made multiple jokes about making us eat dog while on the cruise. We understand there are some cultural differences, but we were not expecting to have our honeymoon cruise start with a man showing us dead dog, snake, and other animals on his phone, really committing to making us uncomfortable for the joke, while we are stuck on a bus for hours with no way to remove ourselves. Many people on the bus were confused about if his jokes were for real. The start made me frantically google Saphire Cruises to make sure I didn’t imagine the glowing reviews. It was shocking and disappointing. Once the man got us to the cruise ship we were relieved to find that the rest of the guides and staff were absolutely wonderful. Amazing guides, lots of chances to explore and learn. Beautiful views and great accommodations. It’s too bad that the horrible start is what sticks with me.
