Great experience with Pau as a guide, he adapted to our allure and spoke very good English to answer our questions !

Booked: 1 Day Mt Fansipan Trek to Summit

Our guide, San May, was very friendly and helpful. We did the adventurous route, and she was very caring and guided us throughout the whole experience. Getting insights in the local village customs and farming practices was very educational and fun! Definitely would recommend, as it also felt very personal and non-touristy.

Booked: Sapa Off-Grid Trek with Social Enterprise

The dinner was fantastic. A very nice spread of local cuisine. Glad to be able to meet up with other nationalities. The room is comfy with all the basic stuff. The guides for both my Fansipan and village treks are fantastic. Local Hmong but able to communicate with me in basic English. Very knowledgable and keen to share about the Hmong culture. The trek from homestay to Sapa center is not a walk in the park especially if you have tried the Fansipan trek the day earlier ( I cancelled mine due to very heavy downpour).

Booked: 2 Day Ultimate Sapa Adventure: Fansipan & Sapa's Heart

This was a lovely way to explore Fansipan. We were picked up on time by our guide, Zul. He made sure we all had enough water and he carried supplies for our lunch and many snacks. The path going up was quite straightforward and we got to rest often. Zul was able to answer our questions about some of the plants and animals that we saw. When we got to the peak, Zul was able to help is obtain cable car tickets to go back down to Sapa. We enjoyed ourselves and had a very good time!

Booked: 1 Day Mt Fansipan Trek to Summit

We were surprised on how beautiful the location was since we have no idea what to expect. The host and his wife is wonderful, kind, accommodating and considerate. We felt safe and at home immediately despite the language barrier. We’ve got to experience the real H’mong culture and we fell in love with the community. The room is clean and comfortable with complete amenities. The best experience we had in Vietnam. Highly recommended and will definitely go back if we have the chance.

Booked: 2D1N Sin Suoi Ho Village Stay | See Sapa Away from the Crowds

Brace for a long read... My first interaction and most of my planning conversations for my time in Sapa took place with Mr. Gio, who patiently and responsively answered all of my questions and cleared all my doubts. He was able to help me beyond what was expected and made my (short) time there considerably worry free and smooth. This included helping me out with sorting out transportation (from Sapa to Hanoi after the trek), accommodating some dietary restrictions and with a specific minor issue I faced during my time in Vietnam as well. He went above and beyond! While this experience is meant for Ngu Chi Son, which I was supposed to tackle with Gio's cousin Mr. Chu, we had to divert to Mt. Fansipan (2d 1n) due to unfavorable weather conditions at Ngu Chi Son, and it turned out to be arguably an even greater experience! Mr. Chu was punctual in arriving to pick me up from my hotel on the chosen day and was able to arrange storage of my luggage until my return from the trek. The drive and the formalities prior to trek were short and smooth, and we were able to get straight to it. Chu spoke perfect English and is experienced with the trail enough for you to have total trust in him. Personally I prefer a quieter hike to immerse myself fully, and mostly speak only when we take breaks -for which Chu checks up on periodically, to make sure you're doing alright. He will also stop and take pictures for you as often as you'd like him to as well! On day one, we reached camp 2 in about 6hrs from the start point, including breaks, lunch at camp 1 and short rest stops along the way. It surprised me that Chu was able to cook up some delicious food as well, which made the whole trek feel all the more welcoming, especially at dinner. The next morning we set off for the summit after a simple but filling breakfast, and reached in no more than 3hrs. Overall a great experience that I would recommend to anyone looking to challenge their limits, especially if you are still young and healthy. My sincerest gratitude to both Mr. Gio and Mr. Chu for a truly unforgettable expedition, and a great time in Vietnam.
