Authentic Walking Tour Easy for Kids - Authentic walking tour to visit Heaven’s Gate, Lonely Tree, Love Waterfall (an easy 35min walk one way - very doable for kids), then on to Silver Falls, lunch break in a very local village, followed by a lovely walk through the village, seeing the local life, houses, farms, rice paddy fields. The guide was knowledgeable, spoke decent English, and was very informative about the local culture. Highly recommended!

If you want to get a taste of Sapa from the perspective of a local and not just the tourist photo ops this trip is for you. The photo ops are still great on this trek too btw.

A memorable experience - It was our last day in Sapa and we were really grateful that the staff at Sapa Original Trek let us leave our luggage with them whilst we went trekking.
We had a wonderful day visiting the Silver Waterfall, Love Waterfall, Lonely Tree Viewpoint and San Sa Ho village which unlike other villages we’d been to was not at all touristy. Our guide, Song made the day very special and memorable for us, giving us a real insight into life in the villages around Sapa and sharing some personal stories. Her English was excellent, she was friendly and knowledgeable and she made a delicious picnic for us all whilst we watched a father and son move their buffalo to a new field. When we returned to the Sapa Original Trek office, we were offered use of a shower and a room to rest for an hour whilst staff there organised a very reasonably priced minibus to get us back to Lao Cai Railway Station which saved us taking the local bus as we’d intended. We couldn’t fault this organisation or its staff who were all so kind and helpful. A memorable experience.

Magical time in the clouds of Sapa - We had a terrific experience with Sapa Original Trek! We were a group of 5 - 4 adults (2 couples + a 12 year old). Everything from the itinerary to the communication to the transportation was seamless and well executed. Mr Tinh arranged a beautiful van to transport us from our hotel in Hanoi out to Sapa and back again when our adventure concluded. And his tour guide, Mr Sinh, led us on a perfect day's exploration of both scenic stops and magical local trails. Some of our group are vegans and Mr Tinh arranged a perfect lunch for them, not always the case when we've booked adventures. All in all, it was a WONDERFUL day! 10/10 highly recommend his company to anyone who's traveling to Sapa!!

Highly Recommended - This was a great experience, which I would gladly do again. May was amazing, and I felt privileged to have her as my guide. Thank you May for providing an unforgettable experience. The trek takes you to see some unforgettable sights and provides what I feel was a more authentic experience that of catcat village.

Throw the rise fields - The tour was wonderful — everything was thought out down to the smallest detail.
The views were breathtaking, and the route was perfectly planned so that we were descending most of the time.
Our guide, Mai, was extremely professional and attentive, understanding everyone’s abilities and wishes.
I 100% recommend it!

A magical trek - This trek was fantastic, spending the day with Ms So who was a wonderful guide was an amazing experience. She was genuine, authentic and a beautiful soul.
The waterfalls are an amazing sight and a true must visit in Sapa, being able to get so close to appreciate their beauty.
The lonely tree was cloudy for us, but in the moments in which the fog disappeared the views were spectacular.
A unique feature of this trek was the walk through the village and the fields, it was incredibly rewarding to witness the day to day life that goes on within the village.
Ms So was insightful and taught us many things along the journey.
I would highly recommend this tour as it was the clear highlight for us in Sapa.

Great day in environment SAPA - The tour was well organized, Dotbedrijft also organizes private tours (small groups, or families only.
Both waterfalls were beautiful.
Our guide was someone who grew up here and during the hike he taught us a lot about the culture in this region in general and about the hill tribes in particular.
Very worthwhile
