In reply to Bri. Hi Bri! I suggest booking a trek directly from a Hmong woman — you'll find plenty of them wandering around town offering treks. If you book through anyone else, they'll charge a ridiculous up-charge and pass very little onto the actual trek leader. I don't know if this is still her phone number, but I highly recommend calling Zi +84 165 216 1586. She speaks English, so call her when you arrive in Vietnam and ask if she's available for your dates!

I am curious if you went on the trek that they offered? Can you speak to it at all? We are staying there next month and I am trying to decide if we should seek out a different private trek, or use their group trek? If you went on it, can you tell me where you went and what type of experiences you had on it? We obviously want to see the rice terraces, but there are some cool suspension bridges and waterfalls in the area too. I know we won't get to see everything we want, but just curious if booking through their B&B would be worth it! Thanks!

In reply to Erin (@bakery_bingo). I don't mind the questions! The train was fine - we didn't have a very fancy one (there are some nice ones), but were comfortable and felt safe. Definitely get a soft sleeper, and try to get a "nice one" if you can - there are a few companies to choose from. I'll try to include some info in my post on Northern Vietnam!

How was getting up to Sapa? I hear that the train ride is long and a little scary at times! Sorry for all the questions, but thanks for being my personal travel adviser 🙂
