Great views, food, and people! - So glad we booked the three day trek, saw so much more and met great people. The home stays were cool to see and I felt comfortable. The food was great, got to try lots of local and traditional dishes. She was our guide and was amazing. Very kind, helpful, and knowledgeable! I would do this again if I could, great way to see the lives of the Sa Pa people and those in the surrounding villages.

Authentic Trek - Everything was great! Our lovely guide, Sue, was reliable and always there to help. We trekked through many villages and then stayed at two different homestays with delicious food and nice accommodations. Met great friends along the way. She was also very knowledgeable and taught us a lot about Vietnamese and Hmong culture and way of life.

Loved it - We returned yesterday from the 3-day trek through Sa Pa. Even though the transport there was chaotically organized (the transport is outsourced by the organization), it was fantastic. Our guide, Su, showed us all the beautiful places and told us about daily life and activities. We were allowed to plant rice ourselves, swam in the waterfall and made dinner with the host families. It was a wonderful experience and our guide made the trip with her enthusiasm, energy and humor. Highly recommended! It is good to know that the walk is challenging.

Three day trekking starting from Sa Pa - The bus trip from Hanoi to Sa Pa is a bit of a challenge. It is not well organized and it is unclear where you have to go and which bus you have to go on. Upon arrival you can have a shower and a good breakfast at the hotel from where the company does its bookings. The staff are very friendly and you get some tea. After the breakfast we were picked up by Su, our guide. She explains the trip and then you are off. Su made sure we knew we could als anything we'd like to know and she had an answer to all of our questions about the nature surrounding us, the way of living and all other things. The trekking was quite challenging sometimes but definitely worth it. The homestay hotels were very nice, comfortabele and the food was very good. We would definitely recommend this trip and would like to thank Su again for the good times

Great hikes with Sang - Great experience. Sang, our guide, adapted to our abilities. We had some great meetings. The hikes were varied. Sang's good humor is infectious. This trek was undoubtedly one of our best moments in Vietnam

Magnificent experience among ethnic groups in the Muong Hoa valley - The 3 days of hiking were super enjoyable and it was a truly magical experience. The experience was sublime especially thanks to our adorable guide, always smiling Khu, she was superb!!! The views of the second and third day are breathtaking and the welcome from the families is warm and welcoming. The food is superb and everyone takes great care of you to ensure you have a wonderful stay! Thanks to everyone and thanks also to Nomad trials, they even allowed us to take a shower upon arrival. We recommend 100% for everything!

Wonderful day - The tour was amazing! The nature and the people, the view - everything was great. Many Hmong people moved with us. "Sam" is a perfect guide and a nice person. We enjoy it. Everytime again in the future!

Highlight of Vietnam - We had the best time on this tour! Definitely our highlight of Vietnam. Our guide, Su, answered all of our questions and was super accommodating to all of our needs. We got to know her super well and we drank rice wine together on the last night! The homestays are clean and comfortable, and it was super nice to get to spend time helping the families cook/set the table etc. There were two possible routes for trekking, the easy route, and the difficult route. We opted for the difficult route the whole way and we highly recommend it! We got to see a super authentic, off-the-beaten-path side of Sa Pa and ran into no other tourists. It wasn't super difficult in terms of exhaustion, just a little slick in some parts so agility was vital. The overnight bus was cozy and when we arrived in Sa Pa we were able to shower and leave our stuff at a hotel. We spent two days trekking with amazing views and culture and on the last day we walked about 1km to a nearby waterfall and swam in it. We were a group of 10 college students and Su was super tolerant of our high energy and joined in on our shenanigans. I can't recommend this tour enough.
