Multifaceted nature and cultural trip - An amazing experience. Our guide Nhu from the black Hmong ethnic group was absolutely fantastic! Very clear about our schedule and the trip went flawlessly. I was having difficulty trekking because of my age and a knee so she offered me every assistance. On the second day she even arranged a motorcycle to take me part of the way. I especially appreciated how she told me stories from her tribe and answered every personal question I asked. I feel like I have a new granddaughter!

A great cultural experience in nature - Nhu was the best tour guide. She explained everything to us in a well-understood English and everything was well organized, very cordial. The accommodation in the homestay was great. Be sure to bring warm clothes as there is no heating. But the showers are hot and clean. You need good footwear because you walk through mud, but sneakers with profile are sufficient. You should not have any restrictions on movement and be reasonably fit. The area is very curvy. Note that the sleeper bus travels one of a total of six hours through serpentines.

Great wild experience - Experience the raw village life inVietnam. Nhu was our guide, a Black Hmong member of one off the small villages from the valley during this trip, helping a lot and describing everything very detailed, we highly recommend! :)

2 half days of trekking in the agricultural land of Sapa town. Very sporty but always fun with nice views. - Khu was a very friendly and funny guide. She did not hesitate to answer our questions and make sure we had enough time for pictures and breaks. The food at the homestay was very friendly and with good food.

Great trekking in the villages close to Sapa. - We did a two day trekking with Zu. The first day we passed through beautiful rice fields and villages. We stayed at a homestay in Ta Van - the dinner was delicious. A perfect quiet night to rest in peace only with the noise from chicken and birds. Second day we talked through a bamboo forest, had a nice coconut coffee close to the village and finished with lunch before going back to Sapa town! Zunis a great guide, very friendly and polite, explaining the landscape and the local culture as we walked through the villages.
