Sapa Wandeltocht : 2 - Dagtocht & Etnische Gastgezin

We were really looking forward to our trip, hoping to learn more about the Hmong people and their culture while enjoying a comfortable stay at Sapa May Homestay. However, our experience with the tour did not meet our expectations at all. First of all, let’s talk about the tour guide. Although she was friendly, she lacked adequate training in hospitality and tourism. She seemed a bit distant and did not engage much in conversation. While she did share some interesting information, it was very limited and often only provided in response to questions from our group members. In addition, our group found it challenging to keep up with her pace. We trekked for 4 to 5 hours straight from Hanoi, but she walked quickly and rarely looked back to check on us. We had no idea where we were or what areas we had walked past. When we finally arrived at the homestay, the heat was so intense that we could barely function. Unfortunately, there was no air conditioning, and the fans were old and dusty—there was just one fan in the large dining area. Our room was rundown and could really use some maintenance. The mattress was old, and the sheet was so scratchy and sticky. The room was scorching hot, making it extremely difficult to get any sleep. Though the view was lovely, the combination of the heat and limited amenities significantly affected our experience.

Maoco is a very good tour guide and we have a nice stay in Sapa May Homestay. Food, room and the view are all good. The owner (Holly) treat and care us very good.

Our tour guide, Mao Co was very helpful and friendly. Throughout the whole trip, she gave so many local tips and knowledge about the village.

mao co she was so good to tell us and explain all the trackshe was so helpful and funny and her way of treating with pepole so awesome

I did a 2D1N trekking and motorbike trip in Sapa organized by guide Hung, and it was honestly one of the highlights of my Vietnam trip. From start to finish, everything was arranged seamlessly! transport, trekking route, bike guide, accommodation, and meals. Hung took care of all the details so I could just focus on enjoying the experience. The trek (not Fansipan) itself was easy yet beautiful, with stunning views of villages. The accommodation arranged for the night was comfortable, clean, and had an amazing local vibe. The food was another highlight — fresh, authentic, and generously served. You really feel well taken care of. What I appreciated most was how smooth and stress-free the entire experience was. Hung genuinely cares about making sure you have a great time and adjusts the pace and plan to suit you. Highly recommended if you’re looking for a well-organised, authentic Sapa trekking experience with a great guide. Would 100% do it again!

We had a great trip and experienced everything that was promised, from the mountain peaks to the trekking routes. While the bus journey and the transfers were a bit 'bumpy' and could have been Shooter, the experience itself was more than worth it. Our guides really made the difference. A huge thank you to Hung, who guided us to the summit, and Su, who led our hike. They were both incredibly attentive, friendly, and professional. Thanks to their expertise and positive energy, we were able to get the absolute most out of every moment. Highly recommended for the staff alone!" Raphael

A really lovely experience with Mao Co as tour guide! She was a great guide who shared a lot of history about SaPa!

I went on this tour and had a great time the host was highly hospitable I left feeling like I had a thorough view of sapa and it’s villages

Amazing experience. Very good vibes and a wonderful culture. Mae Co was our tour guide and couldn’t of asked for anyone better. Happy tea and happy water is a must! Scenery unmatched too. Beautiful experience.

Supertreck with mao co, nice place in the evening with spring roll kitchen together. Nice chopstick set -:)
