    There was a general lack of organisation throughout the trip. Homestay part was very good. But the hotel we got to stay in had a concrete slab for a bed. The worst thing about this is the price. We paid 385 AUD for the basix package and found people in Sapa who organised it locally that paid 100 AUD. And got all meals included and same homestay. Where did the extra money go ?? I certainly didn't get 285 AUD more worth of experience. Would never use intrepid again. Best to find local tours that will cost way less and give you so much more.

    We did the Sapa Adventure tour after we had finished the Vietnam Express Northbound tour. I am so glad we did this trip and saw a different side of Vietnam. The Vietnam countryside is amazing - I much prefer it to the noisy, polluted cities. The trek was very doable (speaking as someone who is an occasional gym goer). Luckily the weather was in our favour. It was very enjoyable walking at a leisurely pace through Sapa and taking hundreds of amazing photos of the beautiful scenery! Thanks also to our tour guide Lan who shared many insightful facts with us.

    This is a value for money trip. From Hanoi you travel with your group unescorted on the train, where you are met by a bus driver then transported to Sapa an amazingly beautiful town in the mountains. Plenty of time to do a bit of shopping and eating delicious food before setting out on the hike. I found my enjoyment was hampered by village people hiking all of the trip with you just to try and sell you some tacky items. They got in the way when you were trying to take pictures or climb up or down areas of track. The walking is of moderate intensity but can be hardwork for the average middle aged person in the humidity of the rainy season Scenery is spectacular and the over night train trips great. Getting back to Hanoi and getting a taxi proved problematic and a lot of time was spent trying to get a legitimate driver to take me where I wanted to go. Overall though the trip was great value for money.

    Do you think September is a suitable time to do a tour like this? Or would it be miserable with the rain and humidity?

      The most popular times to visit Vietnam are spring (February-April) and autumn (September-December) but because of the huge variations in latitude and altitude, there is no one best time to go to Vietnam. Temperatures vary from 4°C (39°F) in Sapa in winter to humid 36°C (97°F) days in Saigon in the middle of the dry season. The monsoons bring heavy rain to the south, and a cooler winter to the north. It's a good destination all year.
