Amazing non turisty trekking! - Sapa Original Trek is 100% recommended. Mr Thin contacted me the day before and pick us up from the hotel and took care about being our big luggages to the office. We chose the less touristy trekking and were housed by a family in Ta Phin village. You can choose between easy way and nature way, we chose the second and I'd say it was challenging but it definitely worth it. Once back in Sapa we took a shower in the office and when Mr Thin drove us to the bus station.

Authentic trekking with Mo - Excellent experience! We chose a three days and two nights in a less touristic trekking tour (sleeping in homestay). We arrived very early in the morning, around 5 am, and Sapa tour arranged for us two comfortable rooms in their office to rest and have a hot shower before starting. The tour was guided by Mo, an amazing woman from Lao Chao village. Her kindness, patience, and passion for her job really impressed us. We learned a lot from her and we bring home a lovely experience that we would never forget. Also after the tour ended, Sapa tour were so kind that allowed us to stay in the same rooms in their office to rest and have a shower and brought us to the bus station in Sapa. If I had to do another trekking tour in Sapa I would choose the same!

Amazing authentic 2 days Sapa tour - This was an amazing tour and the highlight of our experience in Vietnam. Mr Tinh did a great job in organising this tour for us. Everything was perfect. He booked the night train tickets for us, arranged the pick-up at the station, breakfast in a nice hotel, clean shower and place to rest before and after the tour and booked the sleeping bus tickets for the way back. The tour and views were awesome and very authentic indeed. The homestay was also nice. Special thanks to our guide Sing who took good care of us. He’s a lovely and gentle person and tour guide and speaks good English. Highly recommend tour.

Sapa trek - 100% recommend . Excellent Correspondence with Mr Tinh from the start of the booking with clear instructions given and perfect pick up arrangements . Our tour guide Ms Mo couldn’t have been nicer helping us each step of the way . We were offered many different trekking options and along the way had beautiful views and explanations of rice growing , indigo dying etc… together with a look into differing village cultures . Our home stay hosts made us feel welcome and cooked the best spring rolls we’ve tasted so far . At the home stay we met up with our trekkers which made for an enjoyable, social evening . Not the most comfortable of nights ( quite hot , beds hard) and the cockerels made sure we didn’t oversleep ! However it made for an authentic experience . Would advise proper walking shoes with grips although Ms Mo was able to get about in her smooth soles trainees like a mountain goat . At the end of the tour we were very kindly offered hot showers and transport to the bus station for our overnight sleeper by Mr Tinh . We did the 2 day / 1 night option due to one restraints but it would have been lovely to do more . 100% recommend and although just at the start of our trip, sure this will remain a highlight . Thank you !!!

A trekking trip with care - We had an amazing two day trek through the mountains around Sa Pa with our tour guide Mao. We loved all the options she gave us, the stories she told us and the care she had for us. After the trek they let us take a refreshing shower at the ‘office’ and they gave us a free ride to the busstation. We felt really lucky with all the help and are really happy we did the trekking tour with this company.

Trek through Sapa villages and waterfalls - We loved the tour & having Mo as our local guide. She was able tell us a lot about the traditions of the different tribes we met and how they dressed and lived. The trek was great as we also got lots of information about the village life, traditions and also about the farming techniques for rice, vegetables and orchids. She ensured we had opportunities to take photos and stops for drinks and lunch (amazing food prepared by the local tribes). Mo is very caring and passionate about her community which enriched our tour. We highly recommend the tour company.

2-day trek in the rice fields - Sau is an experienced guide who speaks French very well and remains attentive to his clients. We spent 2 active and interesting days. The evening spent with Sau's family was really pleasant and friendly.
