trip of a lifetime :)

May was our tour guide and she walked us through all the beautiful paths and villages of Sapa. We walked through all the villages, went through a bamboo forest and saw a beautiful waterfall. This was a trip I’ll never forget and I highly recommend this tour!

Magical adventure with Dao

It was an unforgettable adventure—three days of trekking. Dao was our guide, and I must say she is excellent. Not only that, but she also really won me over. Her humility, warmth, and sincerity enriched the journey as we hiked through forests and past waterfalls and villages. She knows a great deal about life in Vietnam because she lives an authentic, traditional life herself. Even though it isn't always easy, she embraces this way of life and expresses gratitude for the little things. I would recommend this trek to anyone. Why? Because it allows you to experience authenticity and connect with nature. The hike isn't strenuous and is suitable for everyone. I will never forget this adventure, and especially my dear Dao. Thank you!

Perfect 1 day tour from Sapa

The tour was just perfect. Our guide was very friendly, fluent in English and answerd all out questions. She told many storyes about the local culture. The nature and the rice fields looked stunning. We warmly recommend this tour if you wanna see how is the real life in the mountains.

Beautiful scenery

A bit disappointed with the transport. We paid extra to have an overnight train trip, which ended up to be in the cheapest (and not the cleanest) class of the whole train. On the way back I was expecting a flat-bed bus trip (and that's what other ppl in our group got on the way to Sapa), but ended up with a half-reclining one. On top of that there was little information in the description about what will happen with our luggage, which created fair bit of anxiety about whether we were expected to carry it while trekking (we weren't, it ws picked up from the bus stop and delivered to the bungalow). The same tour on TripAdvisor has a better and clearer description. Other than transportation, the rest was amazing! The first day's walk was relatively easy, so even us (not the hiking type) could do it. The second day walk was a bit more challenging but shorter (3-4hrs). Bring a hat, sunglasses and water with you. There will be stops on the way where you can purchase water or other drinks. There will be a few locals trailing with you - expect a high-pressure sales pitch closer to the end of the walk. Make sure that you understand that this is a trekking tour where you will be required to walk up/down the mountain for 5-6 hours. A couple of ppl in our group didn't and ended up having to skip majority of the tour. The food provided at the homestay is not complicated, but quite tasty and filling. There will be plenty of opportunities to socialise with other group members over dinner/breakfast/lunch. There is no aircon in the bungalow accommodation, but the weather was not hot so that was not an issue for us.
