Very exciting and scenic trip. 10/10 recommend if you can walk 4 hours. Our guide khu helped us walk all the way helping us in every way possible, made sure everyone was okay and guided us through everything possible.
Very nice tour with our guide Khu! Lots of pretty views and walking.
Khu was my guide and she was so insightful and kind, was very patient with a sweet elderly man in our group that needed some extra help and showed us everything from indigo leafs to dye hemp fabric to incense making. loved it, do recommend booking with Khu
Su was amazing and provided explanations along the way. It was an amazing trek. Thank you Su, for such a great time.
At a point we were given 2 options for level of ability including possibly how muddy one direction could be, really enjoyed the more difficult version, we were dressed accordingly for it, fantastic views.
Our experience today with our tour guide Cat was so wonderful! During our trip we visited 3 villages and nature trail to see the different crops they grow in the area. For the nature trail we saw the rice fields and other plants that grow in the area. The concrete trail lead to coffee shops and the other villages to saw that day. Overall our guide Cat was amazing and knowledgeable. She explained so much to us and I would definitely recommend.
Booked as it was only tour that left at 2.30pm to fit in with transport from Hanoi. Walk from church about 2.5km on busy roads b4 getting to start. Concrete roads, steepish. Local women are annoying & cling to you. Guides in Sapa have no uni qualifications like in Hanoi. Would not do again. Be better to pay more for transport to a village & walk around rice paddies. Finished early - good to have driver back to hotel.
Walked around 10km with Bee guide and saw beautiful scenery, worth experiencing! It takes a little physical strength to participate.
Khu was an amazing guide throughout our trip. She helped guide us through her home village and showed us the beautiful landscape of Sapa- immersing us in amongst the terraces of rice fields.
Extremely beautiful sceneries with incredible views from the heart of the valley. The experience is absolutely breathtaking and I would 100% recommend this tour. The guide, Cat, is very friendly and sweet. Her knowledge of the area and the culture is very good. Overall, perfect afternoon with lots of memories.
