Vietnam inherited its cultural wealth from thousands of years of history, sprinkled with a handful of outside influences. Through it all, Vietnamese have a strong sense of pride in their tradition and way of life. The central cities of Hue and Hoi An are treasure troves for culture lovers, as is Hanoi, the country’s graceful capital. Outside the cities, many elements of Vietnamese culture trace back to cycles of wet rice cultivation from harvest festival to table manners. There are countless ways to immerse yourself in the fabric of Vietnamese life, including cooking classes, craft workshops, temple tours, musical performances, museum visits and more.
This was the best trip which we had during our holiday in Vietnam.

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
