5.00Pang was our incredible guide. We heard the very best stories and information about her life as a Hmong ethnic minority woman. The scenery was as spectacular as her! We loved it all. Be aware though this is a full day tour and not an "easy" stroll.

5.00The "Sapa Easy Trekking Tour" is a great way to experience Sapa's beauty and culture. Our guide, Zhu, was fantastic! She shared insightful knowledge about the region's nature and traditions. The ~11km trek is manageable, mostly on paved roads with some scenic paths. Highlights include rice terraces, local villages, and a bamboo forest. A few slightly challenging downhill sections add some excitement. The tour ends in Ta Phin village, with a taxi ride back to Sapa. Highly recommended for a moderate trek with cultural immersion!
NOT recommended - very poor experience

1.00This is the worst local tour experience that I have. I was the only participant in the tour but the guide could not care less to my repeated requests to slow down the pace when we were passing through some rather slippery slopes (I emphasised that safety should be the primary concern and it would be fine even if we could not visit all the spots). Instead, all he cared was texting and talking though the phone throughout the tour (since I do not know Vietnamese, I had no idea what those phone calls were about but I think it is still quite unprofessional even if they were work-related). At one point, I was even left on the trail with no clue where he had been gone. The only time that I was not in a sense of hurry was the lunch time, as the guide was very engaged in working with his computer that I had to wait for him to finish his works before we could on the road again. Eventually we managed to finish the tour more than an hour ahead of the schedule. The guide then left me in the tour office for me to wait for my return bus to Hanoi as he wished to “return home early”. Since the guide was ahead of me most of the time, he hardly provided any information about the place and the culture. Even if I asked, his responses were short and hardly informative. The view that you can see from the tour was rather average. So warning - don't waste your time and money on this tour!
