  • Authentic Village Trek Experience

    The trek through the villages was a lovely and enriching experience, taking us through beautiful rice fields and local scenery. Unfortunately, it wasn’t the right season to see the rice fields at their greenest, but the experience was still very enjoyable. During the trek, Pang, our guide, shared fascinating insights into the villagers’ customs, traditions, and daily life, which made the experience even more special. I highly recommend this trek to anyone who wants to connect more closely with local village life, especially when guided by someone who is genuinely part of the community and its traditions.

    Mia was hands down the best tour guide we’ve ever had! I booked last minute accidentally messed up the pickup location - however she was so accomodating and still came to us. She was so friendly and helpful, providing so much knowledge and laughter, and even helping us walk through some crazy terrain. To top it all off, we had the loveliest lunch. We cannot recommend her enough!

    Me and my sister arrived early in the morning and booked the trip the same day. A wonderful lady from the black Hmung village guided us through the valley showing us the way of life here. She showed us how they make the indigo colour and showed us a place to to get a very good coffee. She also showed us a local restaurant down in the village and served us the best food! She was super sweet and answered all our questions. So happy about the tour:)

  • Beautiful scenery and delicious lunch!

    Unique experience. We did an unforgettable trek in Sapa with our exceptional local guide Sissi, who was able to share with us the traditions and essence of her country with an authentic passion. Thanks to it we discover wonderful corners: spectacular rice terraces, villages inhabited by ethnic communities and a unique landscape that left us speechless. His knowledge of the surroundings, his kindness and his dedication made every step of the way special. We learned a lot and felt always cared for and accompanied. An enriching experience that we fully recommend, and that we will remember with enormous affection."

    The trekking route itself was beautiful despite the bad weather conditions, but the way this tour was organized made the experience extremely difficult and, in my opinion, even unsafe. The tour description said it would take place in all weather, and I expected that standard trekking shoes and rain gear would be sufficient. In reality, the trail — especially at the beginning — had turned into deep mud and was extremely slippery and dangerous. Even proper hiking boots would not have been enough for these conditions, and my shoes ended up completely soaked and ruined. The guide wore rubber boots, so the conditions were clearly known in advance. I wish this had been communicated beforehand so I could have made an informed decision. Under such weather conditions, I would expect much more responsibility and honesty from the tour operator. I understand that Sapa is a touristy area and that selling is part of the local economy — that’s absolutely fine. But the way it happened during this tour was unacceptable. When I struggled on the slippery path, an older local woman repeatedly helped me avoid falls, which I appreciated at first. However, during the breaks she tried to sell me handmade items, and given the situation, it felt manipulative. I felt placed in a situation where I was expected to buy something out of gratitude — something I cannot accept. Overall, this experience left me with the strong impression that selling was prioritized over safety and guest care. I did not feel comfortable at any point. I cannot recommend this tour under these weather conditions, and my rating reflects that clearly.

  • Good adventure and experience

    This is a great tour to soak up local life in Sapa — you really feel immersed in the surroundings. It had been raining so the first half was very muddy but the villagers all help and providing you have a reasonable level of fitness you will be ok. It’s part of the experience. I would recommend you take wellies which can be obtained from the local shops. Our guide Linh was happy to help and answer questions about the community in Sapa. It’s good value and lunch was substantial and tasty with a good view in one of the local villages. Recommended
