Nhu is the best! - Nhu was an amazing tour guide to Ta Phin Valley. We saw incredible vistas, had a great lunch and immensely enjoyed the bath experience. Sapa is blessed with so many wonderful villages and the women are eager to share their stories with visitors. Nhu had a great command of English and grew up in one of the villages so she really knew the routes well. We traded stories of growing up and our families. Highly recommend this company and be sure to request Nhu when you book! She made it a special experience.

Wonderful views and close encounters of p paddy fields, corn farm and bamboo forest. - 14 km trekking, amazing to see locals walking swiftly without proper footwear. Guide May collected various fruits and vegetables for me to taste, she even climbed a peach tree to get better fruit for me. The herbal bath was a wooden barrel, too small for me to soak comfortably.
