Amazing way to see Sapa and get the best views.

Amazing hike - Great way to see Sapa away from the busyness. The views are spectacular. (Bonus: the lunch was lovely and the family that made it were very friendly!) Our guide Nhu was very informative and made us feel at ease. We really enjoyed having her as our guide. FYI - Slightly more tiring than we were expecting 😅. Make sure you have good footwear and have something to cover your arms and legs (as it can get a bit scratchy in the corn field).

Great hike despite weather

We had a great hike today up Dragon mountain with Nhu! It ended up just being us which we really liked! The weather wasn’t perfect but it was still an amazing time with great views. Walking through the bamboo forest is quite an experience! Nhu gave great information throughout the hike and was very kind. We stopped for lunch which was very good as well. Definitely recommend!

Wonderful authentic experience

We had a fantastic time with Nhu. She is very knowledgeable about her region. We walked through 3 villages, all very different, stopping on the way for rests, toilet and drinks. The lunch stop was excellent, lovely traditional food. Some of the terrain is a little tricky, as I have an old leg injury, but Nhu was kind enough to help me, and constantly checked in with us. I would fully recommend Nhu and this tour.

Amazing trekking tour from Sapa through villages and mountains

Amazing tour with Nhu. She was so friendly and told us so many interesting facts. We kept away from the big groups so walking through the mountains and rice fields was serene. Fantastic tour and very well run, highly recommend.

Excellent day with a knowledgeable guide

We had a fabulous trek with our guide Nhu. We were the only ones on the tour and asked her to take us off the beaten track which she did. We enjoyed seeing the rice fields, hearing about her way of life, exploring smaller villages and ended the day at the once a year Nes Year festival which was something to experience! Nhu is an excellent guide - knowledgeable, kind and worked hard to ensure we had a great, safe experience. Thank you Nhu!
