I was frightened by reviews at first but actually this trek is not that difficult. My guide Duong was the sweetest! I had lots of fun and the scenery is beautiful. He told me lots about local nature and people, and was super helpful and caring. Unfortunately there were so many people on top I lost him at one point and eventually left without him - it was freezing cold. I wish I had a chance to say goodbye and thank you! Hopefully next time

We booked our hike for the 15th of march 2024. It took us ( regularly hiking in Switzerland) all together 9hours. The trail was beautiful and well maintained but still it demands some fitness. But it‘s totally worth it. The Guide was very nice and friendly but not so chatty. Lunch was Banh Mih and good. Nature is amazing. We would recommend the one day hike if you are sporty.

We had a great time during the trip despite a really bad weather. Our guide Su was really patient with our pace (6hrs for the climb to the top - which i think it’s not too bad though). Infact, Su met us a day in advance to make sure we hv the right pick up point! Food prep was done with consideration of our diet restrictions which is another added point. Love the pics although all foggy 🤣🤣🤣. Great experience and fully recommend Seek Sophie (and Su) to all!

The booking experience was great. From the moment we booked, our guide (Su) contacted us via WhatsApp to confirm the booking, find out our address and dietary requirements, and also gave us packing tips. The day before the trek, he contacted us once again to confirm that we were in Sapa and dropped a reminder on the pickup time. He was there on time, and brought us up. During the trek, he was friendly and easy to talk to, sharing his experiences and about himself. He was extremely familiar with the route and could give us heads up when the stretch was going to be tough. It was tiring and cold, but his cheeriness and confidence made the whole 6-7H really fun. Food wise, he packed some bread, bananas and water for us to snack on before the hike. At the 2800m rest stop, he cooked noodles for us too, so we never had to go thirsty or hungry at any point of time. We highly recommend this hike :) Thank you!

Our hike with Mr Su was amazing! He was very patient with us as we were very slow. He even carried our bag for us at one point because we were struggling. The highlight of his service was that he gave us a hot stir fried noodles lunch whilst other tours gave very basic food. Specially after the long hike a hot plate of food was heavenly. The views along the hike was absolutely breath taking and worth the pain! Definitely recommend going with Mr Su on this hike

Went on a weekday in winter (late dec 2023). Only one other group of 4, with the occasional local farmers. Great natural scenery that varies as you hike. Accomodation at basecamp is rugged and sufficient with lots of blankets and insulation available, however no beds. Descent on day 2 was very foggy with frost (-1°C). Khai was a great guide and kept me safe. 10/10 will recommend for those seeking a rugged adventure.
