Great trek experience with San Mai; very friendly, super funny and incredible English. She took the time to explain flavours, uses and medicinal properties of plants on the route.

Booked: Sapa Off-Grid Trek with Social Enterprise

We had a wonderful trekking thanks to our amazing guide Su. We walked between rice fields and local houses, the landscapes were breathtaking. We did the trek in january and were really lucky with clear weather (the day before was really foggy so keep in mind that can happen). A plus about doing this during the winter was how calm it was, we only saw one other girl with her guide. The path was adventurous but very doable with sturdy shoes. Su’s English was great, we learned a lot about life in the local villages and he was very open to questions. Would highly recommend! Thank you Su for spending the day with us!

We booked a half day trek with Zizi Homestay. Our guide Ly met us at our hotel in Sapa. It was a wonderful day. Ly was a local Hmong and was such a wealth of information and patience during our walk through hills, valleys, villages and, of course, rice paddies. Would highly recommend any trekking through Zizi Homestay, and if you get Ly you will love the experience.

Booked: 1 Day Sapa Trek & Home-cooked Lunch

We spent two days trekking with Sue. She was incredibly knowledgeable and kind. We felt right at home walking from village to village, learning about the culture, handicrafts, and way of life. She answered all of our many questions. Sue was incredible! Our stay at Zizi homestay was simple but quaint. The meals were good and the hosts accommodating.

Booked: 2D1N Private Sapa Trek | Rice Paddies, Bamboo Forest & Waterfall

San May was an incredible guide! She gave us the choice between an easy route or a more adventurous one, we chose the adventurous option, and it didn’t disappoint. Be ready to get muddy! San May was outstanding; her passion for the land truly shows, and her knowledge is impressive. The food was tasty! Cooked by the locals with scenic views. We also paid extra for the herbal bath, which felt very authentic and traditional. Overall, an awesome experience!
