Great hinking tour, stunning landscape! - Most epic hike ever! 5 Stars for May, who is a brilliant guide! Will never forget the day! Happy that she showed us and told us about her culture. It is a quite challenging hike, but you have always a helping hand. There are also some black hmong women, who want to sell stuff, but I think it is ok to support the local industry. The herbal bath is perfect for the end of the tour. Highly recommended!

Rich learning - Very rich tour to get to know the local villages, it's really worth it. We learned a lot and the guide who accompanied us was great. In addition to being local and knowing everything about Sapa, he has excellent English.

Real trekking through the mountains - Trekking through the mountains was an amazing experience. Seeing rice fields, bamboo Forrest’s and cornfields close up was wonderful and the views all day were spectacular. May, our guide was very knowledgeable about local traditions and was very knowledgeable about local plants and their uses in cooking, medicine and clothing. The trek was challenging as we went on a very hot day but May provided easier options and rests along the way. The bath at the end was very appreciative. A great way to see and understand the area.

Check out this tour! - We were met by Chacha at our hotel lobby. From there we headed north, through villages, rice paddies, corn and bamboo fields. Had a substantial and very yum lunch then trekked a small distance further to the Red Dao herbal baths. Chacha was an amazing guide, telling us about her family, the local villages and farming life in the region. All up, we trekked about 12km. Chacha was very accommodating, asking if we preferred the easy or harder paths. We had a great day and we definitely recommend this trek. Don’t forget to bring your sunscreen and hats!!!
