I had an amazing time wandering around local villages and rice and corn fields. My guide was very knowledgeable, easy to chat with and always took care of me through some muddy and slippery terrain.

My guide zhig was very helpful during the trek and was very patient with me, offering to wait for me as I wasn’t able to keep up with the pace. Overall it was an enjoyable experience and I would definitely recommend it!

I really enjoyed my trek with Khai, even though it was just the 2 of us it felt like hiking with a good friend. Day 1: The route is not easy, especially when it rained previously, causing some paths to be muddy. Some parts of the trek are also quite tiring both up and downhill. I would advise trekkers to wear shoes with proper grips, and to train for at least 2 weeks or a month to make it enjoyable without feeling too tired. However the view throughout is very much worth it, and there are pitstops along the way to rest. The homestay dinner was great, and we had a fun karaoke session. There is a mosquito net for sleeping but you may have to smack some during dinner/at night. Day 2: Breakfast was okay, but i was hoping to try the local breakfast, instead we had crepes, which I think was due to the other guests who were a french family of 6. It was still enjoyable and healthy. Unfortunately I had to cancel my 2nd day after the homestay due to bring tired, but Khai and the host arranged a bike back to town for me without any issues. Overall would recommend Khai and team, just ensure your fitness level is adequate so you don't miss out on enjoying the trip.

Dô was our guide for the hike. He was awesome! Cannot recommend enough. Unfortunately we got a lot of rain on the day we hiked and it slowed us down. But Dô kept our spirits up and his lunch spread was amazing - 5 different fruits that he cut up for us as well as hot coffee and hot noodles. (The hot coffee and noodles was needed after walking in rain for 4 hours). Unfortunately the visibility at the top was not good due to rain and fog but it was such a worthwhile experience. As is tradition as we got closer to base the fog clearance we saw some beautiful shots of the valley around Fansipan

The one-day hike up Mt. Fansipan was a lovely challenge, given the constant rain and wet conditions. Our guide "Joe" was punctual for our 5:30am start and judged the pace well. The extra ponchos and water he brought were really nice. The lunch he prepared was more than enough, even with hot coffee for the cold weather. The finisher-medals and certificate was a nice surprise too.

My tourguide Chu took good care of me. She picked me up in Sapa town, we had breakfast and we hiked to Zizi Homestay. The hike was fun and full of adventures, she explained a lot about life in Sapa and Vietnam, it was fun and very interesting. Zizi Homestay is a very nice and clean Homestay, people were very friendly and I even got an upgrade to a single room. The "family dinner" that is included in the price was soo delicious and lots of vegetarian options to choose from. Also breakfast and coffee were very good, unfortunately I didn't have time to stay there longer. On the second day we hiked to two waterfalls, had lunch and saw many many buffalos along the way. Thank you very much for this awesome and also lifechanging hike. I totally recommend it :) <3
