Good experience, good guide, despite the rain and fog it was worth the time. The guide was prepared for any kind of question, about nature and the history of the villages and people living there.
Beautiful scenery

Chu was a great guide on our walking trip. We didn't want to take the car back as it was only 7km until that point so Chu guided us back to our homestay which made it an 11km round trip tour. Beautiful scenery on a sunny day. Chu shared lots of knowledge about the people living in the different villages, their culture and the nature around us. She was also great with our 3 year old son.

The trek with Sang through the rice paddies and villages was perfect. Sang connected well with both me and my mum, chatting about life while bringing us through the fields. We learned so much about local life in Sapa, the cultural considerations, and local sentiments. Sand was very quick footed yet patient, she always looked out for my mum and ensured she was safe and that we were going at a manageable pace. She also helped us take really great photos and by the end of the day, she felt like a special friend! :) we’re so glad to have met her and the weather was absolutely perfect despite the unpredictable weather (we trekked just before the typhoon hit). Lunch was included in the tour which was delicious. The price of the whole trek was absolutely worth it!

Rice Valley Trek

This tour is superb! Our guide Chu was incredible, spoke great English, had a great sense of humour and shared intimate knowledge throughout the trek. The views of the rice paddies are jaw-dropping and getting to walk through them was a pleasure, as it is so peaceful and serene even during heavy rain. The only regret we have was not having more time to spend in Sapa and completing a longer trek! I would recommend this trip to anyone who loves nature, navigating some tough terrain and has a pair of eyes. As a couple we were also fortunate to meet others on the tour who were very friendly and made this tour even more memorable.
Excellent tour and guide

Today we did the trekking tour with Me. It was a fabulous day, learnt so much of the history as we walked through scenic rice fields. Some parts are slippery but the locals assist you.

Really good trip! Our guide, So, was extremely good at telling about both nature and culture while guiding the road safely through the rice fields. By the way, a really good lunch. It had rained before, so there was plenty of mud, but a So and a local woman were nice to grab those who didn't have good shoes on.
Amazing view and fantastic guide

Views were beautiful. Many great photo opportunities. Quite slippery so bring good walking footwear if possible rather than just trainers. Provided lunch was excellent. So out guide was amazing. So full of energy and interesting to talk to about Vietnamese life in the local villages.
