Dear Mr/Ms. Chow,
Thank you for the mail. I am confused as option 2 has no trekking. Option 1 has trekking in Sapa. If your elder person can not trek, we have the van to send her to your trekking destination.

Please tell me if you like trekking, it will be the option 1 itinerary.

I look forward to hearing from you.
