Really enjoyed the trekking route from Y Linh Ho → Lao Chai → Ta Van. The first part from the city center to Y Linh Ho was a bit challenging, but after that the trail was much easier all the way to Ta Van. The scenery was beautiful throughout, although there was quite a lot of walking without shade, so be prepared for the sun. Our tour guide, Zi, was really friendly and informative, and explained a lot about the local villages, culture, and surroundings along the way. Overall, a great experience and I really enjoyed the route!
Great way to see the villages in Sapa! Our guide Zizi was great. It was very hot, but plenty of refreshment stops. A great lunch also!! Highly recommend😄
Our experience trekking with Chang on Sa Pa rice fields was really amazing! The landscapes were so beautiful and we learned a lot about culture and people from Sa Pa and the villages!
Mu was an absolutely amazing guide! 🥰 The trekking experience was wonderful from start to finish. Mu told us so much about local life and took us along a beautiful route with incredible views. We also had a delicious lunch, which was a lovely bonus! Mu kept a perfect pace throughout the trek and was incredibly friendly, helpful, and attentive. I would choose Mu as my guide again without hesitation. If I could do the trek again, I would definitely go with Mu!
Zi, thank you for a wonderful half-day! Such an affordable tour, but the experience was worth more than twice the price. Highly recommended!
We went in a small group with our sweet guide Khu. She was very kind and showed us an off road route which was so beautiful to walk! I can really recommend this tour with Khu.
We took the half day tour through the rice fields and local villages, the tour went beyond our expectations as we were able to really enjoy the nature around Sapa and soak into the local culture. Our tour guide Cat was excellent, she was very caring, she even helped us when the road was more slippery, and she gave us tons of information about her culture, the environment we were seeing around us and Vietnamese culture in general. The pick up and drop off were both smooth and well planned. We really recommend to book this tour!
Vu was an amazing guide! She was so nice and I learnt a lot about the locals :) the way through the rice feelds were also really nice!!
Awesome trip with Vu! We learned so much about her village, culture, traditions and customs. It was great walking around the area with someone who could answer all our questions and point out specific things that we would have missed otherwise. The tour was nicely organized and the van was comfortable. The view at the end was priceless! This was such a fun tour and I highly recommend it to everyone.
My friends and I did two days trekking through Cat Cat Village and local Hmong tribes. Our guide Dao was very nice and taught us a lot about Hmong culture. She made sure to contact us to explain everything about our treks the day before to ensure we had easy pickup and drop-offs from our hotel.
