点评:I was price-shopping for a tour to Sa Pa when I was in Ha Noi. There are lots of different tour agencies in Old Town and nearby that offer these services, all with similar signage, but of the ones I found, this one seemed to have the best offer for me. Since I had been walking around quite a bit, by the time I arrived to this agency there was only a few minutes before they closed, but Jane didn't rush me and stayed behind to help me feel satisfied with my choice. She guided me through every step of my trip and asked me for my trip preferences. She wrote things down for my sake, and she followed up with me before and after my trip. I appreciate the effort that she put in to making sure that I could enjoy my travels.
I ended up scheduling a 3D2N tour to Sa Pa for a good price. I was picked up from my hotel in Ha Noi to go onto a sleeper bus for my travel to Sa Pa. I had a stay at a hotel (Sheraton Sapa Hotel) for the first night and a homestay on the second night. The homestay had a pool table so a couple of the dudes and I spent some time late night playing pool. Both places had a welcoming atmosphere and breakfast.
My tour guide, Pang Chang, was very friendly, had a great command of English and was very knowledgeable. She took us through the rice fields, down the mountains and through the villages neighboring Sa Pa, and explained the differences between the different H'mong tribes that can be found there and the red Zhai tribe. I had a lot of fun on this tour, relating to other tourists, learning from the villagers and vendors and understanding the daily life of the villagers there.
I named the people I named so that my experience can hopefully be reproduced, turning the magic into a science. My booking agent's English name was Jane and my tour guide was Pang Chang.
翻译:我在河内时,正在为去沙巴的旅行比价。老城区和附近有很多不同的旅行社提供这些服务,所有旅行社都有类似的标志,但在我找到的这些旅行社中,这家似乎为我提供了最好的服务。由于我已经走了好一会儿,当我到达这家旅行社时,他们只剩几分钟就关门了,但 Jane 没有催我,而是留下来帮助我对我的选择感到满意。她指导我完成旅行的每一步,并询问我的旅行偏好。她为我把事情记下来,并在旅行前后跟进我。我很感激她为确保我能享受旅行所付出的努力。
我最终以优惠的价格安排了 3 天 2 夜的沙巴之旅。我从河内的酒店出发,乘坐卧铺巴士前往沙巴。第一晚我住在酒店(沙巴喜来登酒店),第二晚住在寄宿家庭。寄宿家庭有一张台球桌,所以我和几个小伙子在深夜打台球。两个地方都有热情的氛围和早餐。
我的导游 Pang Chang 非常友好,英语很好,知识渊博。她带我们穿过稻田,下山,穿过 Sa Pa 附近的村庄,并解释了那里不同苗族部落和红寨部落之间的区别。我在这次旅行中玩得很开心,与其他游客交流,向村民和小贩学习,了解那里村民的日常生活。
我给这些人起了名字,希望我的经历能够重现,把魔法变成一门科学。我的预订代理的英文名字是 Jane,我的导游是 Pang Chang。
