Great way to get to know the mountains and their different tribes. - She has been a great guide, who has accompanied us and cared for us very fondly. He has shared with us his customs and has answered all our questions. The experience is great, although you have to be prepared for the heat and humidity.

Amazing 2 days trekking with outstanding guide - Incredible experience from start to finish! The scenery was breathtaking, and our guide Sang was outstanding. She is knowledgeable, encouraging, and always supportive. Everything was well-organized. The overnight stay with a local family provided an authentic impression. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a memorable outdoor adventure!

A tour agendy from locals for the community, absolutely recommended - We had two wonderful days exploring the countryside around Sapa with Tung. We walked through the rice fields — they were just being prepared for the new season, so even without the lush green, the scenery was absolutely stunning. We passed through small villages, enjoyed incredibly delicious local lunches, and stayed overnight at Su’s homestay, which had beautiful, well-equipped, and very comfortable rooms, plus a fantastic dinner. Tung was always by our side, explaining so much about her family, daily life in the villages, and how Sapa has changed over the past 20 years. We also learned a lot about the culture of the Black Hmong and other communities living in the area, which made the experience even more meaningful. On the second day, we planned to hike through the rainforest, but due to heavy rain, it wasn’t safe. Instead, we visited a waterfall — although the water flow was low because it was the end of the dry season, it was still a beautiful and peaceful spot. The hikes, the conversations, and the overall atmosphere made this trip truly unforgettable. We visited in early April 2025 and can absolutely recommend this experience!

Sa Pa thoroughly! - Beautiful trekking experience in Sa Pa. Sang was our guide for two days and we learned about the way of life of her community and the different ethnic groups that inhabit the region. At Homestay we were warmly welcomed and had the opportunity to share with other travelers from different parts of the world. Very enriching!

Highly recommended!! - A brilliant couple of days with my tour guide Me trekking through rice paddies and villages, and also learning a lot about her culture. The home stay was also lovely up in the rice paddies. I would recommend this trek. One of my favourite experiences in Vietnam!

Great views, easy track, mediocre experience - The views were stunning and the people in the villages really friendly, but be aware of that half of the track is following a paved road with regular motorbike traffic. Also there were multiple areas where we were walking with 5 or 6 groups in a row. We have done many trekkings across Asia, but this was by far the least ‘off the beaten tracks’. But good if you’re into a nice hike. Also the guide was not very engaging. When we arrived at the home stay, she casually mentioned she was going home and would pick us up the next day. When she was there the next morning she sat in a corner of the room with her back towards us, watching tv on her phone, until we asked if we could start. So views are phenomenal, track is easy to do, quite crowded depending on the season, so pretty decent experience. Finally the homestay was ok, but missing the engagement with the family we’ve had in other trekkings. Could have been related to the corn harvesting which occupied most of the family, but it felt more like we were tolerated than welcomed.
