Great trekking tour in Sapa (good guide + beautiful route+ delicious food) - I had a really good trekking day in Sapa and would recommend this tour. My guide, Pang, was attentive and helpful, and her English was excellent, which made everything easy. She shared enough information about the region and local life without making it too long or tiring. The route was well planned and the scenery is beautiful. Unfortunately the weather was cloudy today, so the views weren’t as clear as they could be, but it was still very worth it. The food was also very good and a nice part of the experience. I ended up doing the tour alone, so it felt very personalized and I had a lot of attention from the guide. A couple of tips: • Be prepared to meet many local vendors during the trek. Some may follow you for a long time and it can feel uncomfortable, since they expect you to buy something at the end. • The trek is considered easy, but you still need a basic level of fitness. If you’re very sedentary, it might be harder than expected. Overall, a great way to see the Sapa countryside and get some exercise at the same time.

Authentic Sapa Tour. highlight of Vietnam trip - Nhu was the perfect tour guide. Very knowledgable and exceeded my expectations. She told me all about her family and gave me such an authentic experience of Sapa villages. She also helped me to haggle prices for souvenirs and took great photos and videos that are instagram worthy. Thank you so much! I will be recommending to everyone who wants to visit Sapa.
