The most amazing day with the best, sweetest guide. La knew so much about the plants and the way of life in the villages. We learned a lot! The views are incredible and lunch was delicious. If you do ANYTHING in Vietnam, do this. I want to go again tomorrow! Thankyou La and Sapa O’Chau❤️

We had an amazing trek with May, visiting the local villages and getting the opportunity to understand how hemp is made and died and then being able to have a go at weaving it. We also learnt about how rice is harvested and processed and had a go a making cornmeal. The villages were beautiful and it was topped off with a lovey lunch at GIÁY culture restaurant (Nhà Hàng Văn Hoá Giáy).

What an incredible experience. Our guide Lam was very knowledgeable, easy to chat with, and we learnt so much! A wonderful day strolling through villages, rice fields and winding roads through the countryside! Highly recommend, a real ‘off the beaten track’ experience. Lunch was 5⭐️s as well, wonderful view and beautifully cooked local food. Couldn’t recommend enough.

Amazing hiking through remote mountain villages away from the crowd. Stunning views and a great insight into traditional life. Our guides and homestay were fantastic and this was a truely authentic experience. We learned about the indigenous tribes and saw how they farm using traditional methods working with their animals and the environment. Feel blessed to have had this opportunity to visit these amazing warm friendly and gracious people. I would recommend this trip too anyone with a moderately good level of fitness and a sense of adventure.

We had a fantastic stay at Zizi’s homestay. The location is stunning, with incredible views and a peaceful atmosphere. The house was spotless, the food was delicious, and the hospitality was truly five-star. We also enjoyed meeting fellow travelers. A special highlight was our amazing guide, Chu her English is very good, and she took us on a beautiful treks through the area.

What an amazing day walking with our wonderful guide Lan. We only booked at short notice and the booking and arrangements went so smoothly. We had a fabulous walk through 3 villages with Lan whose English was perfect. She shared stories with us and was so generous with her time. We opted to have the herbal bath which was invigorating and we were the only tourists there so had the place to ourselves. We saw almost no one else walking the paths which was surprisingly pleasant. Lan was the most gracious and kind tour guide. We learnt so much about Sapa and the tribal minority groups just through her stories and experiences. We lived having various ladies from the tribes join us on parts of the walk in their villages. They had their own stories and histories of the area and we belt it was critical to support them through put again their wonderful crafted goods and embroidery. We met beautiful children also. We saw lovely kids coming home from school but wished we had bought more sweets to share with them . Truly an enchanting and educational day, a must do in Sapa. Ask for Lan !!!
