Is there a hand rail on the steps down to Cat Cat village? Is it doable for a 67 year old with arthritic knees if we take our time? I understand that we can hire a motorbike to go up the hill when exiting? I have read that it is very touristy, but we would like to visit anyway. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

The entrance I took through the top of the village and down, there is certainly no type of handrail down the stairs into cat cat and it is quite uneven (multiple different sections of steps in front of little shops etc). I would NOT suggest this way. If you are going to visit, I would suggest hiring a car/bike to the most southern entrance, and entering that way. It seems all those steps concrete were poured at around the same time so it's more even. Unfortunately, I don't remember if there is a handrail. I don't know much about arthritis, so I'm not quite sure how to answer this, but it is quite steep. I would proceed with caution. Good luck!
What are the stairs down like? How many stairs/how many flights from the entrance at the top, through the village to the bottom? Could a 75 year old with slight knee problems walk all the way down for example?

Please chose the entrance at the end of asphalt road. First entrance is at least hundred meters elevation higher than second one, close to bigger parking ️ place should be easier. You will avoid some problems. There are many taxi as well. Otherwise this village was for me rather commercial. If you would like to see real villages pls visit Muong Hoa valley with rice paddies and villages. Great views, nice walk and no traffic
We have booked a package for Cat Cat Village in November 2019. May I know how's the weather and is the hike/trek suitable for elderly in their 60s?

Cat Cat is do able without a guide but we found our guide made the visit so much better, especially by providing some much local information. The walks are a bit steep in places, and a bit slippery if there has been rain, but very enjoyable and scenic. If you are fit you will have no problems, but wear a hat and decent walking shoes. Lots to buy there.
