We had a motorbike trip down to the very traditional muong valley and the tour guide Su was great and explained a lot to us how the traditional people lived down the valley A thrill motorbike ride definitely. Half day trip only. But its pretty fun.
Thrilling experience with a very friendly local guide. Beautiful traditional and cultural discoveries. I highly recommend!
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.
Su is an excellent guide, friendly and very competent. She likes to talk about her country, answers all the questions, she lets you go at your own pace. We loved the two excursions we took with her!
A magnificent course surrounded by nature, off the beaten track, very clear explanations and a great Welcoming from our guide, Su
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.
Our guide Như was amazing. She is so lovely and knowledgeable about Sapa villages and peoples and plants and animals and customs. Her communication skills are excellent, she loves her region and it shows. Our tour in Y Linh Ho, Ta Van and Lao Chai was so interesting and beautiful and Nhù followed our rhythm and answered all our questions and provided us with a lot of . The driver who dropped us and picked us up was also very friendly. And the agency staff was professional and so helpful too. We highly recommend Nhù as a guide and this agency. Thank you, the peoples and mountains are unforgettable
Our guide, Niou, introduced us to the village and the rice fields with great enthusiasm and sympathy. She knows all the customs and customs of the village and we had a great time with family thanks to her.
Everything was amazing, our guide was very friendly and taking care of us at all times, it is certainly a tour that I highly recommend, excellent service and attention by the organizer and our guide that because of my bad memory I do not remember his name ❤️
