Thank you Chai! - We were fortunate to have had Chai an exceptional guide. Very nice and always in a very good mood, very pleasant. They made our trek with what we really wanted to see, she knows the mountain by heart. We did not want to take the same path as all tourists, I assure you that thanks to these little paths that Chai knows we did not cross! We also discovered these cooking talents! Three exceptional days, full of sweats, joys! Thank you Chai!

Fantastic 3 day tour around Sapa - I made a wonderful 3 days 2 nights tour from Sapa with this family travel agency. I highly recommend my guide Thao Nhu who speaks perfect English and took me off the tourist paths to walk among rice fields, bamboo groves and picturesque villages. We stayed 2 nights in home stay with lovely families.

3 days trek through rice fields and forests - We spent three exceptional days through the rice fields and villages of Sa Pa. Our guide, Su, was absolutely adorable: always smiling, caring and full of energy. She speaks excellent English and makes walking exciting with anecdotes about local life, ethnic minority culture and the surrounding nature. She knows a lot of things and shares them with great kindness. The Homestays where we slept were very welcoming we ate super well at every meal, real delicious home cooking! The landscapes were breathtaking: rice terraces, misty mountains and picturesque villages as far as the eye could see. Every day was a new setting and a new Mood. On the practical side, I advise to provide pants for the portions of forest and good waterproof hiking shoes, the ground is often wet. We were lucky enough to be only with my friend, which made the experience even more authentic and peaceful.

super trek with Su - We did a 3 day trek with my best friend. we had Su as a guide who was amazing throughout this trek. We visited several villages, ate locally, slept at home. A timeless moment, with few tourists and nature present. I recommend ++ and ask Su as a guide, she is hyper open and gives plenty of explanations. Beware it is not an easy trek!

Discover the villages around Sapa - I went on a three-day, two-night homestay trek. With Khun as guide, who showed me the villages around Sapa! Thanks to her knowledge, she allowed me to discover the fauna, flora and customs of the different ethnic groups of the villages! I thank Khun for his smile, his joie de vivre and his delicate attention, which made this stay unforgettable! Khun, she a beautiful person, which I particularly recommend.

Great wild trek experience!! - Our guide Chai has a lot of knowledge about ways of living and traditions of the different tribes living in the countryside. She is also very nice and funny. The host families were super cherful and the herb baths were incredible! Beautiful landscapes, with forests, mountains and rice terraces ! A lot of mud and some lecches though, with rain. The weather is very variable in this season.

Smily tourguide - 3 day walking tour starting in Sapa. We were a small group with Lan as our guide. The tour was well organised and interesting, beautiful and challenging (but not too much). Adequate food and lodging. Lan was wonderful, with first hand experience and lots of explanations about everything we saw. Highly recommended.

Great one day Track in Sapa - Taking a tour with Như was a fantastic experience! The hike itself was stunning, and what made it even better was the flexibility—she let us choose between different trails and adapt the pace as we went. Whenever we hit a challenging section, Như was right there to assist us. Along the way, she shared so many interesting insights about local wildlife, plants, and traditions. One of the best parts was how she used her local connections to show us hidden gems and share stories we wouldn’t have had access to without her. Don’t miss this tour if you get the chance!
