Amazing trekking in Sa Pa - My friend and I did a private trekking tour with Me. We had an amazing time! The views were spectacular and the trek was not too difficult. That being said, there were some difficult bits where it was a bit slippery but Me was very patient with us and helped us safely cross. Definitely recommend!

Thank you So, for an unforgettable day! - The four of us (with 2 children aged 15 and 20) did the one-day trekking tour (13 kilometres). It was a unique experience. Because of the landscape, the people we met along the way, but especially because the best guide in Sapa led us. So comes from the Sapa area and told us a lot about the area, the history and the culture along the way. Thank you So, you made our day unforgettable.

Super cultural walking tour. Must do! - Superb experience. Walking was straightforward as mostly on tarmac and small unmade roads, although you do need to concentrate on where you are placing your feet! Beautiful views up and down the valley through several busy villages. Plenty of opportunities to buy local crafts and to watch how they are made along with details of the crops being grown and how they are planted, harvested and prepared. We were able to go inside a traditional home and had a simple but delicious lunch in a local cafe. This is a must do as although you could do independently it is great to go with a local guide who is very knowledgeable and happy to explain her culture and those of other villages. Sang our guide was wonderful, thank you for a wonderful few hours.

World class scenery and amazing cultural experience - Amazing experience and a privilege to see the local tribes in their villages. Xi was so knowledgeable and told us so much about their cultures and traditions. Stunning scenery, so many animals. Lunch was great too, simple but super tasty. Don’t leave Sapa without doing something like this. In terms of ‘easy’ it was 21,000 steps in total, some rocky/slippery parts but we had plenty of help from the nimble local tribes women who joined us. Take cash to buy products and drinks.

Amazing Day - Tzu was an excellent guide, we had an unforgettable experience trekking through the rice paddies, villages and farm land. She catered to our every need, nothing was too much of a hassle. She was also extremely knowledgeable and educated us about the culture and practises of the Hmong and Red Dao peoples. Shout out also to Fen who was a great assistant, and taught me many Vietnamese phrases throughout the day. If you are looking for a trek in the Sapa area, I would highly recommend Tzu as a guide. You will not be disappointed

Great easy Sapa walking your. - We really enjoyed this tour. It was not too tough a hike, it was just right for us. The scenery is amazing but the most interesting part was passing through the different ethnic villages & seeing their different way of life. Our guide Xay, who is Hmong, was so lovely & told us lots about life in the villages & the different ethnic groups & their customs. This was one of the most interesting tours we’ve done in Vietnam. We would highly recommend this tour & Xay as a guide.
