Great experience! In under 1 day, my Aunt and I got to drive through Y LinHo Village, Lao Cai Village, Ta Van Village, Banho Village, Giang Ta Chai Village, Supan Village, Thanh Kim Village and Ban Phung Village! As we don't know how to drive a scooter, each of us had a designated driver. Phung was one of our driver and is the tour guide. He is knowledgeable and answers to our many queries. Phung's hometown is at Ta Van village! Our tour is a private tour. We started at 9am and ended around 1pm+. Beginning of the tour we detoured to experience the Cầu Treo Lao Chải San II (narrow suspension bridge drive thru). After reaching the last village, we drove straight back to the City centre, which took about 1 hour. I thought a village would be a clear divided neighbourhood with some possible entrance fee and souvenir shops, but in this case it was like different 'states' with no borders, lots of scenery to take in and 1 souvenir village shop pass by. One of our scooter had a wider seat than the other, which made one of us more comfortable throughout the trip. Sitting on the narrower seat scooter makes your bum slightly sore. So do look out for this! Our inclusive lunch was to choose either fried rice or noodles (pork or chicken). Drinks are not inclusive, though the tour provided 2 bottles of water each. The lunch venue seems to be the stopover for most tour groups. Location is at Nhà hàng Quế, Ta Van Area. Overall i would highly recommend this trip if you are short on time, do not want to waste time trekking, and want to visit all villages to see the differences between each village. Apparently the furthest that tourists usually trek is from Y Lin Ho to Lao Cai. Those who treks to Ta Van would stay overnight or so. I saw a lot of tourist groups when driving through Y Lin Ho and Lao Cai. Ta Van has about 3-5 tourist groups in 2-3 pax. Only at the lunch restaurant did i encounter larger groups. Rarely saw any tourist groups afterwards. As the sky condition was good, Phung recommended us to visit Fansipan today instead of tomorrow. It was a great decision, we spent from 2pm - 5pm at Fansipan Peak.

So and Xur were great guides for our 2D1N trip by motorcycle all around the Sa Pa area. They were very knowledgeable and we got to stay by their communities. In fact, the homestay is run by So's family. Everyone was super hospitable. Love the Hmong people back home in the US and also love new Hmong friends here in Vietnam.

We did the one day car tour, our guide May was fantastic, she lived locally and was very willing to share her knowledge with us. We finished the day with a better understanding of local life and how hard people work. The scenery was breathtaking. The booking and communication process was efficient, we definitely recommend this company.

Beautiful authentic experience, immersed in local culture and less touristy. I can only recommend Trekking Tour Sapa, even just for any questions. They are very helpful.

I took the motorbike tour of Sapa with the guide and it turned out to be very nice. Ingot to see a lot of vallies and beautiful places in and around Sapa. The guide was from a local Sapa village and knew the region very well and spoke good English. Well recommended!

Unique way to explore the real Sapa. The centre of Sapa didn’t impress me much as it’s overwhelmed with tourists. This tour gives you the opportunity to check out the villages, see the rice terraces, and understand the Hmong culture. We had an absolute blast with Sơ ( Sinh’s brother). He was so wonderful and friendly. It was definitely the highlight of our Sapa trip. Definitely would do it again!

I took a full day motorbike tour of Sapa with "Trekking Tour Sapa." Right from the beginning, Sinh was an extremely professional, knowledgable and kind tour guide. He stopped in many areas so I could take some beautiful pictures and also added a short hike to my tour. He was very good at explaining everything to me about Sapa and the beautiful villages. I had a lovely lunch with him and his lovely family. They were very gracious and the food was delicious. I would definitely recommend booking a tour with Trekking Tour Sapa and Sinh! It was a great experience!
