4.00Our guide Dao was very friendly and informative. Nice small group, trekking was a little more difficult than expected-some slopes were quite steep. Lovely views from high points. Didn’t enjoy having an extra four or so local women coming along with us until the first village who were quite insistent that we buy the goods they were selling. We expected to see more of the actual villages and the local people. Enjoyed the trek regardless.

5.00Vu was an excellent guide and we had lots of time to break along the trek in the shaded spots that weren't as crowded. Its great to have a local that is from the village to make sure we only stop at comfortable places where there's no concern for scams or constantly pestering from salespeople. Overall I had a very relaxing and fun trek.
Great Tour/guide

5.00Pam was our guide for the 4 hour trek. She was wonderful and very knowledgeable. She pointed out the best spots to take picture and taught us about some of the culture in the different tribes. The trek was mostly downhill, so it wasn’t too strenuous. It was a great time!
Do it!

5.00Had an eventful day in Sapa. Started with losing my husband’s mobile in the Grab car. The wonderful morning guide helped us find the driver when we were reporting the loss in the Police Station. We didn’t get your name, but thank you so much. Upon hearing our drama, the tour operator was very flexible, he quickly contacted us to change our morning trek to the afternoon.Finally, we managed to do our trek to see 3 villages amongst the beautiful rice terraces. Our guide Pam was bubbly and very engaging. Learned about the cultures of the different minorities. And it was well paced despite the 10km distance with sufficient breaks and time to take photos. Thank you for lovely memories. We really appreciate the hospitality of the people in Sapa.
