This was an amazing and fulfilling experience. My guide Cho was patient, calm and made sure I was safe during my trek. It was a challenging hike if you are not prepared or used to hiking inclines. But every step was worth it and I am beyond happy that I got to experience it.

It was a fantastic experience, immersed in nature and surrounded by the beauty of the Vietnamese mountains! The hotel pick-up service was very punctual and the car was very comfortable (a modern Ford pick-up, very clean and spacious). When we arrived at the starting point, the guide gave us 1.5L of water each and we started the climb towards the summit. He guided us step by step and it was quite easy to speak with him in English. Passing through the first base camp we then reached the second. There, inside a small building we had lunch (early since we had set off at around 7 am). The meal that the guide brought was good and plentiful and there was also fruit! Then we continued towards the summit. It must be said that the route is demanding and to tackle the trek in a day you need to be at least a little prepared, especially during the wet season (we climbed in August) not only for the physical effort but also for the path that is sometimes impervious (which does not depend on the guide but on the nature of the territory and the mountains themselves). We then reached the top after crossing the section that can also be reached by cable car. There usually is crowded so except for the early morning you won’t be alone there. Our guide gave us medals and a sort of certificate for doing the fansipan trek. Very appreciated! So after we came down following the same road. I want to say something that is not related to our guide: the fansipan trek is not an easy walk (especially doing that in one day), you’ve got to walk 19,5 Km with a total elevation of 1.800+ m (and the same by going down), the trail sometimes is muddy and the wet rocks and wood were splippery, there are a lot of stairs after the middle part of the trail. Not a joke, consider that and you’re own ability. That is part of the beauty of this place!!

My 1st hiking trip, and it was memorable. Glad to have the experienced female guide (Ser, I am not sure if her name is spelt as such) guiding my good friend and I along the way to the top. Ser was very professional yet pleasant and patient. She was also very attentive, and she noticed that I had a headache as we were climbing higher. She immediately offered me paracetamol for it. (thank goodness she noticed, which I deeply do appreciated a lot😊) Ser even taught us some of the plants along the way, which makes the hike interesting. On & off, she also shows us ladies concern, such as are we alright with the pace, are we tired, etc. I would recommend her to be the guides for amateur hikers😊

We had an extremely challenging but memorable trek to Fansipan. We took more than 7 hours to complete the trek and took multiple breaks but the guide Mr Chay was very patient with us. He also prepared and served an excellent traditional lunch at the base camp. So glad that we booked this once in a lifetime experience!

The service was excellent right from booking the trip (got an almost instant message to share more about the trip and getting the info required), picking up (prompt with reminder) to the hike itself. We had a guide to our party of two. The guide Cho was friendly and allowed us to go our own pace. Lunch was tasty. We took the cable car down and were given a ride back to our hotel in Sapa. We really enjoyed ourselves and recommend this.
