Pleasant tour through the rice fields - Really good trip! Our guide, So, was extremely good at telling about both nature and culture while guiding the road safely through the rice fields. By the way, a really good lunch. It had rained before, so there was plenty of mud, but a So and a local woman were nice to grab those who didn't have good shoes on.

Amazing view and fantastic guide - Views were beautiful. Many great photo opportunities. Quite slippery so bring good walking footwear if possible rather than just trainers. Provided lunch was excellent. So out guide was amazing. So full of energy and interesting to talk to about Vietnamese life in the local villages.

We had the best possible experience in Sapa! - We are 3 friends from Australia and did the private “Rice terraced fields and Fansipan experience.” We had an amazing time and all agree that this experience was one of the best in our lives! This was due to the amazing sights of the rice fields, Fansipan mountain and the local villages and surrounding areas, the extremely well organised tour, with plenty of time for each activity and necessary tickets organised by the staff (Fansipan cable car and train) and the terrific hospitality and knowledgeability of our guide Soso. She guided us through the hike with expertise, also giving us information about the area and customs of the Hmong people. She was super friendly and extremely proficient at English. We would highly recommend this tour to everyone, as we would not have had such an amazing experience exploring the nature of Sapa without the local guidance and itinerary of the tour. We saw and learnt so much in just one day thanks to this tour. The price was definitely worth it and I will gladly use the services of this company again next time I visit Sapa!

Highly recommended - Great experience! We walked through beautiful villages and views spending a day immersed in local culture. Cơ, our guide, was magnificent. He explained everything about the lifestyle of these villages, about plants and animals. She speaks excellent English and we had a great time with her, always smiling and joking. Even the food on lunch break was delicious and plentiful. We highly recommend this tour!

Fun, amazing, and enlightening trekking tour to the rice fields and villages. Do not miss this when visit Sapa! - Tung, was our tour guide today who comes from one of the villages, Năm Toong (sorry if I remember wrong Tung). She is friendly, kind, funny and caring. She allowed us to take our time to enjoy the amazing views of the rice fields, to watch farmers working on the fields, of course to take lots of photos. She speaks English well and explained different cultures among the Hmong and Dzao people. We stopped by the fabric making place in Lao Chai where she showed and demonstrated how the linen were made, explained in details of the process. We learned so much from Tung. She is funny and very easy going. We already miss her smiles.

Beautiful experience - We had a wonderful time in this trekking tour. I am very happy with it and can highly recommend to anybody. Our tour gide My was a very nice lady, speaking really good english. The route of the tour was beautiful, the lunch they provided was delicious and we had very nice conversations with My. She explained a lot from their way of living and she was also curious to learn about us. These details made the trip emotionally moving. I also appreciated her honesty in telling us whenever we passed by a souvenir shop which sold not authentic items for only tourists. This is the best way to explore the region of Sapa!
