5.00We had a very nice day! Our guide Achert has super guided us and managed to answer all our questions, really an added value! The only downside is that Sapa is becoming very touristy, and you often walk with a number of groups behind each other on the path. The lunch was really great!!!
Great guide!

5.00We really enjoyed our One Day Trek from Sapa and our guide Linh, was fantastic. She was extremely knowledgeable and so helpful when it came to navigating the ups and downs of the terrain, even giving us the option of an easy or harder trek. As we left Sapa, we were joined by a couple of lovely local ladies and they stayed with us for probably 1/2 the trek, always lending a helping hand when needed. When it was time to say goodbye to them, they offered us the chance to buy some of their handicrafts, which we were ok with. So it's a good idea to carry some cash. Lunch in Lao Chai was at a local restaurant with a lot of other trekkers and it was delicious. We only had to pay for drinks and the bathroom facilities were very clean. After lunch, we continued on to Ta Van where we waited for our car to transport us back to Sapa. There hadn't been any rain, so we didn't have any issues with mud, but it's a good idea to have proper hiking shoes or shoes with good grippy soles.
Must do!

5.00We chose this trek as it suited our ability and exposed us to the amazing scenery, villages and culture. Sissy was our local guide. This was very important to us as she could give us her valuable insights and knowledge of the paths to give us the best view of the daily lives of the Vietnamese people. We enjoyed our guide Sissy and this downhill trek.

5.00I really enjoyed walking in nature, rice fields... Lah accompanied me wonderfully. She adapted to my walking speed, my poor English... She knew how to stay calm when I didn't want to talk, only to the feeling. Really bravo 👍 👍 👍 and the proposed return by scooter was top 🤣 👌 I recommend.
Excellent trek through Sa Pa villages

5.00An amazing way to see the villages of Sa pa that would not have otherwise seen without a local knowledgeable tour guide. We went in February so the weather / views weren't the best but that did not stop us enjoying the local way of living. Group sizes are small so you can ask lots of questions and don't feel overcrowded by people. Would recommend this experience to all!
Very nice walk to discover the H’Mong culture
