I usually research things myself and have a DIY trip. This time, I found Sapa Sunshine Tours here on Trip Advisor and let them handle it all for me. I... read more told them how many days I had and they gave me practical advice for the type of trip I wanted - if I had done it my way, I would have been exhausted! John organised a 2 day 1 night trip in the Palace boat on Halong Bay - it was beautiful and the food was fantastic. I personally don't like group activity and it was easy enough to disengage from that. He also organised the train and all associated collections, with a personal tour around Sapa. Sara was a definite highlight for me. I had a great time, and appreciated the fine coordination and tailored management of my requests. For all of the above including transport to and from these places it was US$310. Why would I even bother doing it myself?

  Thanks to Lucy and John for helping out with our trip. They were very flexible and helped us with our last minute confirmations. All the services were without any problems... read more and run according to the agreed details. Mrs Ngo was wonderful and delivered a great experience in Mekong Delta! The same for Ms La in Sapa. We took 2-day trek with a homestay. Mrs Soi let us feel like at home. At the end of our holiday, we decided to relax on the cruise to Halong bay. The recommended ORiental sail was just great! We got a lot for what we paid. We can recommend this company to everybody. Thank you once again. Radka & Daniela & Betka

  Nice place to eat, the restaurant is located on open balcony/terrace a nové the street. Food was very good - especially sprint rolls with sweet&your sauce. Very reasonable prices (noodles... read more about 55Kvdn, beer 30Kvdn).

  Am extremely happy to have approached John for Sapa + Bac Ha, the driver and guide that he recommended were fantastic and our programme ran with no glitches. Prices are... read more fairly reasonable as well.

Our tour... read more guide for 3 days (Ha), is just amazing. He is very knowledgeable and recommends good places to eat. Love the hot pot that he recommended.

  The trip started with pick ip from our hotel - on time, comfortable van. The overnight train ride was OK (expected to be bumpy and noisy - probably an issue... read more if you’re a light sleeper), we had a 2-berth cabin, toilet was rather small.

Reached Lao Cai and driver was ready to drive us to Sapa. A little bit confusion over which hotel we’ll be staying at but it was all sorted out. Happy that the hotel provided breakfast even we have not checked in (we arrived early morning), luggage storage was available and there were clean shower rooms with towels provided.

Left the luggage at the hotel, showered and we were off to the Day 1 trekking. Nice, friendly English-speaking guide - named Mims. Easy/ low elevation trekking, beautiful padi-terraces scenery. The rice we just about to be harvested, it was perfect timing. Day 2 trekking was a little bit harder with steps to get to the two waterfalls. At the end of day 2 we were back at the hotel, showered, picked up the luggage and were sent to the train station to get back to Hanoi.

Overall a superb experience! Than you Mr John and all the guide/drivers

  The agency was amazing. John (the manager) was really patient answering all our many Qs about Sapa, and Thuy was our wonderful local Sapa guide. I cannot recommend these guys... read more highly enough. They are safe, reliable, patient, knowledgeable and trustworthy. I was travelling with two other ladies, and we felt well looked after & safe every step of the way. If you're looking for an excellent & knowledgeable tour guide in Vietnam - look no further. This is it!

  I highly recommend John from Sapa Sunshine Travel when trying to organise trips within Vietnam. John corresponded to my questions and requests quickly, he made suggestions and had our... read more paperwork ready on time.
