Superb experience with Chaï - Superb experience with Chaï. For 3 days we walked in the mountains and valleys of Sapa. Chaï was top, she found us great paths (the least touristy) and we were able to enjoy great scenery. Chaï arranged the routes according to our desires. Moreover, we were only 3 during almost the entire stay. In the evening we enjoyed very good meals at home and spent very good nights I highly recommend it because it was one of the best experiences we could do in Vietnam.

Incredible Adventure - ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazing adventure in Sa Pa! We chose the 3-day trek guided by Suly, and it was hands down the best experience of our trip. Beyond her insightful explanations, what truly stood out was Suly’s warmth and friendliness. We shared three unforgettable days filled with stories, laughter, and great moments. She is always attentive and adapts the trek perfectly to the group’s pace and interests. The landscapes were absolutely stunning and incredibly diverse: rice terraces, mountains, fields, villages, and beautiful countryside. We also want to highlight the hospitality of the homestays, with exceptional homemade food — generous and delicious. Thank you, Suly, for helping us discover Sa Pa in such an authentic way. We highly recommend this trip!

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.
