Best Sapa experience - One of the best experiences I've had! Mama Zuzu was amazing, she has been trekking for over 11 years. She's always smiling and super helpful! We stayed at Lala homestay and the place was astonishingly clean. Everything was perfect! Highly recommended

After the deluge and the typhoon, trekking in the rice paddies under the sun - We have been guided by Ma Ma for 2 days and 1 night, just after the huge rains and the typhoon in Vietnam. We are very glad that we didn't cancel our trek and homestay with her, as it was amazing ! Ma Ma showed us around by trekking in the rice paddies, experiencing riding on scooters and eating delicious local food, made by her husband ! Even though the paths were sometimes a bit slippery, we were able to see enough of the landscapes (safely, with Ma Ma's help) and be immersed in the local Hmong culture.

A hike with some truly breathtaking views! - Our guide was great, and the hike was beautiful. The homestay was super clean, and the homemade breakfast and dinner they provided was delicious! The facilities (i.e., bathroom and showers) were really well kept and everyone was super friendly. Thank you again for such a fun experience!

Wonderful experience - Really unmissable experience if you want to visit Sapa, the intense but fun trekking and offers beautiful views, we were immersed for two days completely in the local culture. We slept, ate and drank happy water all together, spending a beautiful evening in the mountains. Highly recommended!

Great experience! - The experience is amazing. A few things I would change. If we had more time we would stay one more day in Sapa and see other things. It was possible. You get picked up on shuttle, then have a big bus, the ride is long. We could sleep most of the time. The hike is great, but was hard for some people, especially when it started rain. Have your rain jacket, soap ( there is shower, no soap), bathing suit if hot weather, you might stop at waterfall. The next day hike is easy and the views are amazing. Lunches outside of Mama Zuzu home were not so tasty, but dinner at the family house was so good - amazing! The family is nice and fun talking to. There is no option to work on the rice fields, we went in August and there is no work to do until September. They just check on it. It is also cooler there, so take a long sleeve with you.

Walk in the rice fields - Arriving at the bus station our Guide Mama zuzu welcomed us to take us to the restaurant, after lunch we started the trek. The path to get to the home stay is not tiring (I speak as a hiker) in some places but it is slippery, therefore Recommendation hiking shoes. Arrived at the home stay we had the chance to take a hot shower and eat some great food prepared by them with the rest of the group. The rooms are small but have all mosquito nets. On the second day, after having breakfast, the Guide takes you to walk in the middle of the rice fields and have lunch at the waterfall. Postcard pictures! A wonderful experience.

Wonderful experience! Thank you Mama Zuzu ♥️ - Mama Zuzu was simply wonderful, precise and organised! A woman with enormous energy, as much as her smile and kindness. We had a rather strenuous afternoon trek, but the beauty of the landscapes around us repaid any effort. Walking through rice paddies, maize fields and bamboo forest was truly sensational. The homestay in which we stayed was a small refuge, a peaceful corner right next to a stream. It was well maintained, clean and had a beautiful dining room. We ate very well both for dinner and breakfast and everything was homemade. Everything was beautiful, I will never forget this experience and these people!

Unforgettable experience - 100% recommended. Pick up a minibus at your hotel to take you to the meeting point where you get on a bus with beds. 6h trip (be for twice to go to the service, buy food, water or coffee). Upon arrival in Sa Pa, you are greeted with a sign by the local guide (Mama Zuzu or someone from her family). Large backpacks take them home by motorcycle. Start the 12 km trek to your village quietly. The rest must be lived. The best experience so far of our trip in Vietnam!!!
