Great trek - The trek was beautiful with great views from top of the mountain and a nice walk through the rice fields. Sinh was a great guide, he took many photos and videos for us. He speaks very good English and would tell us about his life. It felt like going for a walk with a friend

Wonderful place, fantastic guide - We did 3 and a half days of trekking around Sapa with Sung A Sinh as our fantastic guide and can highly recommend. Such a joy and privilege to explore the beautiful Sapa area with Sinh who was good at judging our pace, and helping out in tricky areas by finding us walking sticks. We learnt so much from him about local culture and farming as we walked along local paths free of tourists and surrounded by fabulous views. We stopped for lunch at local family restaurants and the food was delicious and plentiful. Sinh was very professional and punctual - would definitely recommend.

Great guide for our trek through the Sapa region - Sùng provided a brilliant service. We highly recommend using him as your professional guide. He took us through the local rice farms in the Sapa region. The views were amazing and he was so knowledgeable. He had great insight into the local people and traditions and he took us through rivers and past waterfalls. He taught himself English and was very funny! Would definitely recommend using him!
