From start to finish, this is an experience to remember. So well organised. Our guide Nhu was very informative about the local culture. We found Nhu to also be very kind and genuine. It was such a special day. Thank you, Nhu

We decided to have a couple of days in Sapa after three dry and sunny days doing the Ha Giang loop. We appreciated in advance that it’s not necessary going to be best time to visit after temperatures of 27c it is quite different 6c - 11c. However we booked a trek and had a wonderful 5hrs trekking with Nhu our guide. Visited several villages had an insight into the culture of the black mong people. At the end had a lovely dinner before getting a taxi back to Sapa. Would definitely recommend this, part of the walk is muddy but we were prepared for this.

The guide was very helpful and brought us to see the villages to understand the culture. The trekking was through the hills slopes, streams and padi fields. This is something really different!
