A nice walk with Sue ly

We had the pleasure of spending three wonderful days in Sapa with Sue ly as our guide, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From the moment we arrived at the Sapa Express station, Sue ly and our driver gave us a warm welcome. She immediately shared interesting information about the region and made us feel comfortable from the very start. Su is an incredibly kind, enthusiastic, and caring person who genuinely wants her guests to experience the real Vietnam. Thanks to her, we enjoyed authentic experiences such as traditional herbal baths, a local Sunday market, and delicious local food. She shared not only the beautiful landscapes of Sapa but also its culture, traditions, and daily life. What touched us the most was her generosity. She even bought a beautiful skirt for our daughter, a gesture we will never forget. If you’re looking for an authentic, memorable, and personal experience in Sapa, we wholeheartedly recommend Su. She is an amazing guide and a wonderful person. We truly hope to see her again someday. Thank you, Sue ly, for making our time in Sapa so special!

Nhu is the best!

Nhu was an amazing tour guide to Ta Phin Valley. We saw incredible vistas, had a great lunch and immensely enjoyed the bath experience. Sapa is blessed with so many wonderful villages and the women are eager to share their stories with visitors. Nhu had a great command of English and grew up in one of the villages so she really knew the routes well. We traded stories of growing up and our families. Highly recommend this company and be sure to request Nhu when you book! She made it a special experience.

Wonderful views and close encounters of p paddy fields, corn farm and bamboo forest.

14 km trekking, amazing to see locals walking swiftly without proper footwear. Guide May collected various fruits and vegetables for me to taste, she even climbed a peach tree to get better fruit for me. The herbal bath was a wooden barrel, too small for me to soak comfortably.
