Love letters from our guests

Our guide Pay (not sure how to spell it I’m sorry!) was great. He taught us a lot along the way and answered all of our million of questions 😊 it was a pleasure to have him as a guide. The trek itself was beautiful and peaceful. We walked in total for approx 4 hours and it was quite an easy walk through villages and rice fields. Lunch was also good.

Booked: Sapa Off-Grid Trek with Social Enterprise

Incredible trek with Pao! I can only recommend you to do it even if it can be a bit challenging! I made the 31 December and the weather was perfect! We started the walk by night then we had a beautiful sunrise 🌄 The lunch in the second base camp was really good. Pao was a great guide, knowing perfectly the trek and really cheerful ! All the organisation was perfect, thx ☺️

Booked: 1 Day Mt Fansipan Trek to Summit

We had a wonderful stay at May. Enjoyed it very much. Would definitely recommend if you consider a Homestay in Sapa.

Booked: 2D1N Red Dao Retreat: Hike, Motorbike and Soak in Herbal Bath

10/10 recommend this amazing experience. Everything was easy- the company Whatsapped me to arrange transport, accommodated my request for a female guide, and were so patient with my questions. The trek itself was fun, scenic and beautiful, and my guide, Mai, was just superb. She made me feel safe, taught me so much about the region, and we just chatted away the whole time. Lunch was delicious too. So glad I booked this!

Booked: Sapa Off-Grid Trek with Social Enterprise

Our guide was very friendly, knowledgeable and spoke excellent English! We had a nice walk, lunch was very generous, and we did learn a lot about local minority groups (our guide very patiently answered our many questions!). However, I would just note that some of the things listed as part of the hike were not really as advertised. For example, the booking page lists "visiting a French-era church" - which we didn't do (though we don't mind much), and the Red Dao herbal bath pictured on the booking page with that big window and lovely view of the outdoors was not what we experienced (see image). These are very small things, and perhaps mostly due to a misalignment between how Seek Sophie chooses to present the experience, but if you're someone who expects to get exactly what's described then you might be slightly disappointed. That said, as a social enterprise, I really love Sapa O Chau's mission and would definitely recommend booking an experience with them because it was a great day!
