We arrived from Hanoi and Me (our tour guide) joined us at 9:00.
We had a first day under the rain but thanks to the smile and kindness of Me, it was like if it was sunny.
We had one of the best lunch in a restaurant and later joined the homestay ( same village as Me). We slept very nice and we were surrounded by nature, the dream !!
Second day was some walking in the baboo forest, very interesting with the explanations of Me.
I definitely recommend to book your tour via Trekking tour sapa and ask for Me, she is an amazing tour guide.

The trekking tour was beautiful and our guide Mai was very friendly and enthusiastic to show us around and get us accustomed with the local people and traditions. We really enjoyed the excursion!
The only thing that was disappointing was the food.

Perfect trekking tour through the ricefields with or guide Tseem. She was such a good guide who talked english fluently and were able to answer all our questions. Very kind, and made sure we had a good time. The route was perfect (17km on day 1 and 10 on day 2), and we were able to help deciding how much we would walk.
Lovely homestay at our guides sisters house with good rooms, great views and lovely food with the family for dinner and breakfast.

We started in Sapa, Zhu was our gide, and she was great both days, picked the right speed depending on the road, we traveled with 2 seniors who preferred to take a cab after lunch on the first day and Zhu arrange that for us flawlessly. She answered all our questions always with a smile and brought us safe and fitter back.

When we arrived in Sapa we had in the afternoon a private half day Sapa by sightseeing by car. With Zhu we went to the waterfalls Silver en Love. Zhu was our private guide for 2 days
She was very kind, professional, sweet and a helpfull person.
She told a lot of Sapa.
The next day we had a trekking from Y Linh Ho - Lao Chai - Ta Van. We stayed in a Homestay in Ta Van Villas, with a nice family. The big room with balcony was very clean. Also we had dinner with the Local family, it was delicious.
Zhu was always with us, that felt very familiar.
The next day we walked from Ta Van - Giang Ta Chai back to Sapa.
The paths were sometimes difficult to navigate, but Zhu helped and guided us so well. Thank you for that Zhu.
It was a great experience organised by Trekking Tour Sapa en with Zhu our tourguide.
Thank you Trekking Tour Sapa!

The weather wasn’t on our side but it was still an enjoyable experience. The rice terraces were beautiful and it was interesting to see the local cultures. The home stay was comfortable and we got to spend time in the kitchen helping the ladies make dinner. Big shout out to our guide Zhu who was incredibly kind and answered all our questions. Thank you!

Loved every minute of this trek. It was easy with only small bits being uphill and difficult. We were given more food than we could eat which was delicious. The homestay family allowed us to help make spring rolls which was great fun. Our group gelled together nicely which was a great bonus. Our guide Zue was amazing! I wish her and her family all the best. However, the description said 16km on the first day and 10km on the second day. According to my Apple Watch we did 10km on the first day and 4km on the second day.

We had a great trek with our exceptional guide Chu, who took the time to explain us lots about Sapa, the black Hmong and the Nature. Our homestay was awesome, best food and sleep we had since arriving in Vietnam a week ago. Organisation was very nice. Due to illness, we had to postpone our a trek by a few days, which was no problem! Would definitely recommend Trekking Tour Sapa, our guide Chu and to stay in a Homestay for a night!

This was one adventure we definitely wanted to do on our Vietnam trip and Trekking Tours and our guide Zhu did not disappoint. They were really helpful and informative.
The description was moderate to challenging which was probably about right, the views spectacular despite the mist and clouds. Zhu was very considerate and ensured everyone was going at their pace, with lots of interesting information along the way.
The homestay was very authentic and the family were welcoming hosts with a lovely mix of food at the accommodation and lunch stops, authentic too with a lovely dorm room with side rooms or ensuite bungalows at the homestay.
This trip met all our expectations of the walking, scenery and a great guide to make the best of this adventure and I would highly recommend them!
