Archert was our guide. He was patient, paced us well, answered our questions about the local culture and cooked two delicious bowls of pho on the trail. He even surprised us with a medal and small certificate once we reached the summit! Great trek.

Booked: 1 Day Mt Fansipan Trek with Local Hmong Guide

We spent two days trekking with Sue. She was incredibly knowledgeable and kind. We felt right at home walking from village to village, learning about the culture, handicrafts, and way of life. She answered all of our many questions. Sue was incredible! Our stay at Zizi homestay was simple but quaint. The meals were good and the hosts accommodating.

Booked: 2D1N Private Sapa Trek | Rice Paddies, Bamboo Forest & Waterfall

San May was an incredible guide! She gave us the choice between an easy route or a more adventurous one, we chose the adventurous option, and it didn’t disappoint. Be ready to get muddy! San May was outstanding; her passion for the land truly shows, and her knowledge is impressive. The food was tasty! Cooked by the locals with scenic views. We also paid extra for the herbal bath, which felt very authentic and traditional. Overall, an awesome experience!

Booked: Sapa Off-Grid Trek with Social Enterprise

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 ☺️
