Trekking with Nhu - We had a great day gently trekking to the local villages with Nhu. Nhu was an excellent guide, caring and helpful, answered our many questions and shared her knowledge about the local culture and customs. We would definitely recommend Nhu to be your guide.

Breathtaking Views and an Even Better Guide – Nhu Made It Perfect! - I had an amazing time on my Sapa tour, and a big part of that was thanks to our wonderful guide, Nhu. The trek was filled with breathtaking views, and Nhu made the experience even more enjoyable with her friendly and cheerful nature. She guided us with care, always smiling, and even took beautiful pictures of me along the way. Nhu is a fantastic guide who truly loves what she does. I highly recommend her to anyone planning a Sapa trekking experience – you’ll be in great hands!

Excellent tour with the best guide in the world! - Our guide, Nguyen is fantastic. She is knowledgable and speaks really good English. We were so tired towards the end of the trekking and she helped to get someone to take us to the restaurant by a motorbike. What’s life saver! The views are fantastic and we even got to visit Nhu’s family. What a great experience! You have to take this tour and please ask for Nhu.

Great trekking with May - Fantastic 2-day trekking with May. She took us to the most beautiful areas. 10 miles. On day 1 and day 2, we walked 8 km. We stayed at Hoa Chanh Home Stay which were super cosy bungalows. Warm mattresses were fantastic. Good food. Great recommendation. Henrik - Eva and 4 children.

SaPa nature village tour - Our day trip to trek through these villages was interesting and the views were spectacular, the village lunch was also delicious. Our tour guide, a local residence of the village, was very informative about the facts on the lives of the villagers. Even though it was a nice tour but the critical factor is depending on the weather and the seasons as Sa Pa is constantly under foggy and wet weather. Trekking through these ankle deep muddy rice field roads may not be suitable for all touists, I recommend to bring/rent (50K Dongs) tall rubber boots. For us, even though it was difficult to walk in quicksand like paths, it was a memorable experience because we now know what it is like to walk through these villages as the villagers do everyday.
