4.00It was bad weather, so the visibility was not so good and the paths very slippery / muddy (put on things that may get dirty). Nevertheless, a good tour, our tour guide Dao was also nice. Delicious lunch.
Wonderful authentic tour thanks to Ms. Zhu

5.00We had the best time in the trek! Our guide, Soso, was incredible! The rice fields are beautiful, you get nice views from high up and then you go down into them and into the villages as well. We had a delicious lunch in one of the villages too! Make sure to bring good hiking shoes and sunscreen, some of the trails are pretty challenging.

5.00We did a trekking tour in Sapa with Soso and it was truly a wonderful experience! She is very kind, welcoming, and takes the time to explain a lot about the region, the culture, and local life. You learn so much while enjoying the walk, which makes the experience even more enriching. The landscapes are absolutely stunning, with endless rice terraces and breathtaking views along the way. I highly recommend this experience, especially if you’re looking for a caring and passionate guide!
Everything fits here - always happy to return!

5.00Zhu from Sapa Trekking introduced my colleague and me to the landscapes and culture of these fantastic regions during two days. Yesterday we visited the two waterfalls where she knew a lot about it. Today we led the big day hike through the rice terraces of the Muong region. Very competent. She gave us interesting explanations and knew how to report on the way of life. Lunch at noon was good from Rome. In short, the two days with Zhu were an asset. Thank you very much.

5.00Good 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

5.00Chu 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.
