Excellent Sapa tour - The tour was amazing, the best thing we did in Vietnam. Mr Sinh was an excellent tour guide who had lots of great information about the culture and the farming of the area. He did a great job of planning our day around the weather so we got the most out of the tour, as well as pointing out good photo spots. The pace was superb views were spectacular and lunch was delicious.
The whole tour was really well organised and easy.

Great tour with unique places! - Super Guide and great walking route! Definitely recommended. The food on the way was also fine, especially at the first stop. The Homestay we found slightly less but otherwise very good

Great Trek with Choo. - Great tour with Choo. The trek was challenging but that’s what we wanted. It was very amazing to be able to trek through rice and corn fields and see the villages from that view. Heavens Gate was foggy but that is always a risk.

Must do in Sapa - Such an immersive and incredible experience! Was just my friend and I on the tour with a personal tour guide and driver with us for the whole day. Saw 2 incredible waterfalls (silver and love) and learnt about some of the plants and foods in the area. Went to heavens gate which has some great photo opportunities. Lunch was phenomenal too, and my personal favourite was going through the village, learning about the culture and seeing all the animals (buffalo’s, dogs, pigs, birds etc.) and learning about the cultural practices whilst seeing such incredible views! Can’t fault the tour, and can’t recommend enough.

Wonderful day out - A wonderful way to see some of the Sapa sights. There was more walking and step climbing than I expected, so maybe double check this detail if your fitness or mobility is a concern. Ms Mu was great and slipping sliding through the corn fields during the pouring rain was definitely a highlight!!

Amazing scenery - Amazing scenery the whole time. Stopped by two waterfalls and we were able to walk all the way up to them. In better weather we could’ve swam in the second one. It was very cloudy so heaves gate was a bit disappointing because we couldn’t see anything. Our tour guide stopped and made us lunch in the middle of the hike right next to the rice fields. Absolutely breathtaking taking views. He asked us if we wanted the easy or difficult trail. We took the difficult trail straight through the corn and rice fields. It was muddy and uneasy footing but so worth it. Be prepared for a few miles or trekking and some incredible views

The waterfall was nice, that's all - It's not really trekking because we just walked on a paved road. I thought it was trekking, so it was quite disappointing.
It was raining, so of course I walked behind the guide, but the guide was holding a big umbrella (not transparent) and my view was mostly only through the umbrella. I think the guide should wear a raincoat. I told him this on the way and I walked in front of him. Also, I wish he had strongly recommended that we go to the only toilet on the way, even though we were traveling for more than four hours. I couldn't go to the toilet from morning until 3pm. The guide went to that one toilet, though.
The waterfall was amazing. But the walking in the latter half was unnecessary. It wasn't trekking and there was nothing special about it.
