The perfect day! - We booked the 1 day Sapa trekking tour not really knowing that to expect and safe to say we are so so happy that we did as we had the most AMAZING time! The views were absolutely breathtaking and worth the long journey. We would like to extend our gratitude to our wonderful tour guide So who was so friendly, knowledgeable, and really made this day super enjoyable. He was able to answer any questions that we had and also took Insta-worthy pictures of us (he really knows the best spots for photos and angles as well!). The tour included a local lunch at in a small village at the halfway point and it was the perfect and most delicious way to refuel! We are so grateful for this experience and getting to meet So, we sincerely hope that our paths will cross again. Definitely a highlight and one of our favourite memories/days of our trip. Would 100% recommend!!

HELLO DOG - We had the must wonderful day and learnt so much
Our guide Say was an absolute diamond and met us at our hotel
We paid for a one on one and not group tour which is so worth it
The vista was amazing and Say was incredibly helpful with excellent English - we even met her lovely children!
Lunch at a local home was grand and much appreciated
We would highly recommend

Awesome trip - The tour was amazing and the people from agency were really professional and friendly. They were easy to communicate with, flexible, as they even accepted to swap the trip day for us. The guide we had, Su, was a kind and a person with a lot of positive energy who smiled all the time and made our day even more beautiful.
We took the one day tour trekking (13 kilometers long) and it was doable even for us who weren't in a such a good shape for hiking.
I definitely recommend the agency and the one day trekking trip.

Amazing - It was truly amazing, our guide Du was very nice, she spoke a very good English, and was really funny and passionate about the history of the villages we passed through. Having a guide that was living in those villages was a big plus.
Also, what I really liked is that the path we took wasn’t too busy with tourists, except at lunch, we really didn’t see anybody else, and even at lunch it was only a few other visitors, a very good way to immerse yourself in the culture !
The trek it self was not too hard, but even when it got more challenging the amazing views make you forget.

A complete success. - We booked a day tour and were completely satisfied with everything. Our tour guide (Chu, I hope that's the right name) was very communicative and spoke good English. Her open and friendly manner also made the day a real experience. She also asked if we wanted to take the "more interesting" route and since we were only a small group of 4 people, the topic was quickly over. So, we chose the difficult descent and we didn't regret it. Then we walked through the valley, got to know traditional crafts, the country and its people and the exhausting day ended after a 12 km walk in a taxi that took us back to the starting point, the ladies' office. All promises were kept, our expectations were fully met and we can happily recommend the Trekking Tour Guides.

Amazing Views of the Terraced Rice Fields - I did the full day trek with Zhu through the terraced rice fields and local villages and blessed with nice weather. This is definitely the highlight of my Sapa trip. The trail wasn’t too difficult so anyone with average fitness level can tackle it but if it’s wet be careful with some of the muddy sections. Zhu was very friendly and helpful and speaks fluent English. I did another half day tour to see the Love Waterfall and Silver Waterfall but I’ll say they are not must-see especially when there isn’t enough water. Overall satisfied with the tours, the tour operator and their local guides.

Recommended - Quite easy walks if you’re a hiker or doing sports regularly. Nice views of course and our lunch spot is not packed as the ones along the river which is great. Thank you Say for being our guide!
