Explore Sapa By Trekking Adventures Local Villages Old Market
Description
My name is Dinh, a young Hmong woman born and raised in Ta Van village, Sapa. I grew up walking these mountain paths and learning the traditions of my people. Now, I’m proud to share my home, culture, and daily life with travelers from around the world. On this trek, you won’t just see the rice terraces and bamboo forests – you’ll experience them through the eyes of a local. I cook traditional Hmong meals, tell real stories, and take you off the tourist trails to discover places only we locals know. Every photo and memory you take home is part of the life I live every day.”

It was a really really good experience. Sun is the best! She was so friendly and knew a lot of things to tell us. She helped with everything and the whole experience was unforgettable. Definitly a must do when you are in Sapa! Also the lunch was included and was really good.
We had to wait 1hr to start. Tour agency just takes the booking and sent the local guide one hour late and merged with different tour group. Overall everything was great because of our amazing guide Luza. We had a great day with her and she did her best to answer to our questions.
From the very beginning Zoe-our guide stole our hearts. She is the happiest, most cheerful, and knowledgable person we met in Sapa. She made our trip one of the most memorable experiences of our lives. We loved it 3000!
Amazing 1-Day Trek with Local Guide! I joined a 1-day trekking tour with Dinh and it was absolutely amazing! We walked through beautiful rice fields, crossed bamboo forests, and visited local villages. Dinh explained everything about the culture, traditions, and daily life of the Hmong people. It wasn’t just sightseeing — it was a real cultural experience. The pace was relaxed and enjoyable. I felt safe and well taken care of the whole time. Highly recommend this tour if you want to see the real Sapa in just one day!
