Customer review
Our Tour Guide here was Sinh. He was an energetic man from the H’Mong tribe. We like him a lot as he makes the Walk around Cat Cat Village enjoyable, comfortable and not rushing. The following day, he took us to the Fansipan Cable Car station. Although the Cable car service was delayed in operation for 2 hours due to bad weather, the guide was patient enough to coordinate with the hotel to make sure we still manage to visit Fansipan (highest point of IndoChina) a reality. Overall, tour was excellent, transfer is very good and we had lots of photo opportunities.
