100% Recommned if you'd want to hike Sapa

Chu was a wonderful tour guide! He told me different stories throughout the hike. He was also patient and waiting whenever I needed rest. He prepared water and banana for the hike also and took great photos without asking him to. The lunch he made was really good, egg pho! It tasted really great. Would recommend booking chu!

A memorable trip to Vietnam

Chu was a great tour guide during my 1 day hike to Fansipan Mountain with some hikers. He’s attentive, and shows great knowledge of the flora within the lush forests. He even brought good snacks and fruits, and prepared a nice lunch for us. Overall, I had an amazing experience climbing the highest mountain in Vietnam with Chu as our local guide. Highly recommended to everyone! Will definitely come back again.

Fansipian!!!

I had an amazing experience with our guide. Being on the slower side within our 2-people group, our guide made sure I wasn’t too far behind and would wait here and there without making me feel bad. You won’t regret booking with Chu or his brother!

An unforgettable Fansipan trek thanks to our amazing guide, Chu!

My friend and I recently booked a one-day hike up Fansipan, and having Chu as our guide made all the difference. From the start, Chu was incredibly patient and completely accommodated our slow pace, ensuring we never felt rushed. The trail itself was mostly a jungle trek and quite muddy in sections, but Chu went above and beyond to make sure we were equipped—he even fabricated a custom bamboo walking stick for us, which was an absolute lifesaver on the slippery terrain! When the weather turned and it started raining, Chu was right there with ponchos to keep us dry. He also thoughtfully brought along energy snacks to keep our fuel levels up throughout the day. To top it all off, he surprised us with a delicious, self-prepared home-cooked lunch on the mountain that tasted incredible after hours of hiking. Highly recommended! Thankyou Chu

Operator response

It was an absolute pleasure guiding you both, and I'm glad the bamboo sticks, ponchos, and home-cooked lunch helped make the rainy journey more comfortable.Your kind words motivate me to keep doing my best. Hope to welcome you back to Sa Pa someday!Warm regards,Chu

Wonderful trekking

Trekking with Chu and my two young group mates was a fantastic experience. It was a hard trek for my age, but Chu was an incredible guide. He cooked delicious meals along the way and constantly cheered me on while keeping a great pace for me. Finally, I made it all the way to the top thanks to everyone's support.

Best hike ever!

This was one of the best hikes I’ve ever done. I booked a trip to Vietnam and came across this trek on TikTok, and I’m so glad I did. Our local guide was incredibly accommodating and always responded quickly to any questions. Everything was well organized, and they provided great meals, snacks, drinking water, and even raincoats, which made the whole experience so much easier. It was absolutely worth every penny. Such an unforgettable experience, and I’d definitely do it again if I ever return to Vietnam.

Helpful Guide

The really nice and helpful guide Chu helped me to refund my booking because I was so sick in the morning. The hike is really long and I feel like it’s a justified price for what you get out of the tour. I definitely consider to book it again one day because of the nice guide and the value of the tour👍🏼❤️

Operator response

Hi there! Thank you for sharing your experience and giving us a 5-star rating. It was my pleasure to assist you with the booking change when you weren't feeling well. I truly appreciate your kind words about the value of our tour. Hope you have fully recovered, and we can’t wait to hike with you in the future!

Solo trekking

I had a wonderful time trekking with Chu. He took many wonderful photos during the trek. I was only one that sign up that day so there was an extra fee for solo travelers. But going solo means that I was able to go as fast or as slow as I want. And Chu was very accommodating with my pace. He also prepared an amazing lunch for me. Even the other group was commenting on what a feast I was having.

Operator response

Hi there! Thank you so much for your wonderful review. I am so happy to hear that you enjoyed our Fansipan trek together! It was an absolute pleasure guiding you, taking photos for you, and cooking that lunch. I'm glad you could enjoy the mountain at your own perfect pace. Thank you for choosing our tour, and I hope to see you again someday in Sapa!
