  It was a great experience to walk through 3 ethnic villages and see how local communities make their living. Our guide also comes from one of those villages minorities so you can learn in detail about hardship of everyday life. She has told us a lot about rice cultivation. It’s all about walking (about 10 km) so you can admire beautiful scenery of rice fields, mountains and generally the greenery. We were lucky to have a good weather otherwise it gets muddy. And one more remark, you don’t have to buy anything from local women or children but if you do you may support them. Very interesting tour worth taking.

  Off the beaten tracks. Don't wear nice clothes and sandals. It's not in straight line so it's more walking than expected.

  Nice view of rice fields and the typical village. The group was too large. The guide talked about some different culture traditions but not much about the different points.

• Great walk through the villages

  Picked up on foot from our hotel, communication beforehand was very good. The group initially looked pretty big but we then seemed to split into 2. The walk goes straight from Sapa town through the rice fields and villages, last stop is lunch and then a minibus takes you back to town by 2pm. Very very muddy and slippery sections of the path so make sure you're wearing the right footwear - walking boots, walking trainers or wellies. There was other women on the trek from the villages helping people out if they needed it. Beautiful scenery all around from start to finish. We accidentally went at the perfect time just before harvest season so got to see the rice in full bloom and some being dried out too. Also a lot of children selling bracelets etc, which was hard to watch at times. One place for a toilet stop and drinks to buy as well. Lunch provided at the end was simple local meat and veg dishes, noodles and rice. No description of what any of it was so pack snacks if you're not open minded. Only downside was the group separating a lot, the guide didn't do so well keeping us together as was needed with different capabilities in one group. also a lot of other tours doing the same route at the same time so sometimes got a little confusing.
