1 day trekking experience with Zo Zo - Our tour guide Zozo was the absolute best we could’ve had! She gave us to try many fruits she caught along the way, explained the local life and advised us very well on which route to take according to our physical condition.

I loved - I loved the tour, with the guide Zozo! I recommend. The road was a bit difficult at certain times, but the landscapes were well worth it

Awesome experience ! - This was an amazing day thanks to an amazing guide who was really interesting, funny and made this day so much brighter than the weather! (even if it was foggy, it was kind of Mystical and mysterious though, really cool) The path could be challenging if it has been rainy the past few days. I would advice to put the right shoes with a good sole to have some grip and avoid to have a « c-u-l mouillé » 😂. Do not hesitate to ask for Zozo she is truly amazing. Thanks a lot for the great Vietnam memories !

Memorable experience - It was such an amazing expérience! Sun wasnt there but Zozo makes it memorable. She was thoughtful, fun, nice and really interesting. We laughed a lot, and experienced real culture (thanks for the blue hands and tongues 😉) We learned so much about the Hmong, and saw beautiful nature. Views are amazing. I would recommend without thinking twice, and would do it again with pleasure. Thank you so much. ❤️

Pure adventure - Super organized hike through rice fields, a bamboo forest and original mountain villages. Zozo our guide was humorous, helpful and explained us a lot about country and people. We were picked up from the hotel and hiked about 15 km. In the end, we were brought back by an off-road vehicle. We were accompanied by 2 women who wanted to sell us their goods later. Don't be surprised. After yesterday's rainy day it was very muddy and slippery in places. At first we went uphill from Sapa, later we crossed two rivers. That made this day quite adventurous. Zozo guided us and through all the difficult places and gave and exact instruction on which stone to stand on. We were a group of six people. We could have done without the leeches alone. Anyone who wants to get rubber boots.

Enjoyable experience - Very good experience. Strongly recommend. It was a hike up to the top of a mountain with great views and then a tour of the rice fields on the way down

Very beautiful landscape and rice fields, the guide knows English - Very nice experience with visit to villages, typical lunch and visit to the bamboo forest and rice fields. Fortunately we found good weather, in case of rain in my opinion as a ride would be very slippery

Beautiful views, good route, highly, thoughtful, helpful, fun guides in Zozo & Tung. Please choose their trek. - Zonzo picked us up promptly and checked we were prepared for the walk. Zozo was aided by Tung. Neither of them could have been more helpful during the walk - they are amazing. Tung made little gifts as we walked and both shared the history, culture and information about sights clearly and with a passion. Zozo had a great sense of humour - very funny lady. Both were professional and having experienced walking with a number of guides in different situations and briefly been a walking guide myself, they were far superior to myself and I’ve known none better.

Beautiful views - It was an exceptional day, our guide Zo Zo took us through the mountains where we had breathtaking views of Sapa, also visiting villages, passing through fields of rice paddies. Mention Zo Zo that was a spectacular guide 😊

Highly recommended - Today's tour was a wonderful experience and well organized from the beginning at 9:00 a.m. to the end at 7:00 p.m. Our guide, Zo Zo, was fantastic and I would do another tour with her in a heartbeat. The tour itself started in Sapa and then went up very steep but easily accessible paths to the highest point at Dragon Mountain. Afterwards we walked through a beautiful, varied landscape with bamboo forests and rice terraces and then had a delicious meal for lunch. One of the things we liked best was that Zo Zo had so much to tell us about the country, its history, plants, animals and customs. She was always open to questions, and we had lots of them, and she was very funny. It was definitely an advantage that the weather was good and the group (5 people) was so nice. By far the best day of the trip so far.
