Vietnam Sapa Trek: Valleys to Peaks

Check out our Q&As

• Are all entrance fees included in the price?

  Yes, they are included

• What is the tipping policy?

  Tipping for good service is not compulsory but is always appreciated in a country where the average annua income is quite low compared to Europe for example. It is customary to tip tour guides and drivers at the end of a tour. Hotel and station porters should also be tipped. Do not let guide talk you into tipping more than you plan to. It is totally up to you who you tip, when and how much. Recommendation for small groups (2-5 participants) is as following: 12-15USD/group/day for guide on sightseeing trip (classic), 5-6USD/person/day for guide on active trip (adventure), 6-10USD/group/day for driver.

  yes, there is free wi-fi in the accommodation used

• What policies are in place for Covid-19?

  Traveling to Vietnam is now as comfortable as any other destination, with COVID-19 policies reflecting a sense of normalcy. As of the latest updates, there's no special treatment required for COVID-19, and travelers are no longer obligated to undergo testing or purchase specific COVID insurance. While Vietnam has embraced a more relaxed approach, we strongly recommend securing a comprehensive travel insurance package. This insurance should cover essential aspects such as medical treatment, personal accidents, medical evacuation, and extend beyond unforeseen circumstances like natural disasters and cancellation fees. Client's safety and well-being remain our top priority, and we encourage travelers to explore Vietnam with confidence, armed with a robust travel insurance plan that ensures peace of mind throughout your journey.
