This was a great experience with a great guide. We are not big tour people so the half day was perfect for us. Sissy was friendly, knowledgeable and funny. Very skilled riders, we felt very safe the whole time. Would highly recommend if you're looking for an enjoyable way to see parts of Sapa and aren't wanting to hike!
Incredible half day going through the rice fields and villages around sapa. Our guide Zer was very knowledgeable, answered all our questions about the Hmong and was so enthusiastic to share with us. We like to take pictures so sometimes we take our time but we never felt rushed and he even suggested spots for us to take great pictures. The roads were rough but we felt very safe with our easy riders. The scenery was beautiful and the people were so kind. 10/10 recommend this tour.
This was a very fun motorbike tour. I was the only one on the tour with the guide. We began with ride from Sapa Stone Church down to Cat Cat Village. Afterward, it was followed by several other villages nearby and down in the valley. Along the way, the scenery was amazing, the weather was good for riding and sightseeing, and the guide did a great job in introducing the villages, including her own. Overall, a must do in Sapa. Some of the roads are quite challenging with rough unpaved surfaces, narrow paths, and steep hills. But without the expert guide leading the way, it was something I would’ve never dare to do on my own.
It was a was a really fun trip. The scenery was beautiful. And it was clear that our drivers knew how to drive in the mountains. We felt very safe. Our guide Su told us a lot about the culture in the villages and the rice fields. It was all truly fascinating to learn so much about it. He also took great care of us in the cat cat village. We’ve had a lot of fun conversations together and he is amazing at taking your pictures. Thanks again for taking care of us so well and for giving us such an interesting and fun trip!!

Great experience with Mo, it was a really fun way to know about Sa Pa and the neighbouring villages, my girlfriend and I had a wonderful time, learned a lot about the local culture and way of living.
Wonderful experience with Sisi, she speak well English and ride well! We enjoyed it very much, almost forgot the time=) fantastic rice fields and mountains view. Best your ever. Highly recommend.!
We were picked up at the hotel by our guides who were two sisters: Dihn and Su. They couldn't be more charming and friendly. They made stops whenever we wanted to take pictures and they were always smiling. They showed us more hidden corners and always very willing. It is a highly recommended excursion and you have enough time to see it quietly and well
Excellent way to see strategic points of Sapa and see the rice terraces. Unfortunately it was not good weather but the tour super well organized even gave us ponchos. We were driven by motorcycle in all safety. I didn't want to walk and this tour was perfect for me
