Initially had some miscommunication about start time. Had really great help from our guide who rushed down, and helped our child and elderly parents on the hike. Suggestion to state difficulty or let us choose which trails to go on with information to go on. Website said child friendly but there was a part of the trek that required scrambling on muddy mountain trail.

Booked: Hike Like a Hmong Through Sapa's Rice Paddies | Private Trek

Our trek started at Sapa O'Chau's office. Our guide, Su May, offered us two options: an easy route through villages (generally flat terrain), or a more difficult route through rice terraces (uneven terrain with multiple uphill and down slopes). We chose the latter and it was a truly eye-opening experience. The trek is very challenging (so please wear proper hiking shoes), but the scenery is amazing. Our guide can speak fluent English, and her sharing about the Sapa culture and way of life is insightful (just hoped that she can sound more eager/enthusiastic!). The trek included lunch at a local restaurant, as well as transportation to pick up and drop off anywhere in Sapa Town.

We did a hike and kayaking with our guide Su in Da Lat. We had an amazing day, great weather, had a barbecue lunch and saw horses. Su was great company, spoke very well English and the trip was all we could wish for.

I don't usually write long reviews but this was such a hidden gem! Glad to have discovered this through seeksophie even though there's tons of homestays here in Sapa. Thuy and family are very friendly and welcoming! The trek to the nearby village was great and we experienced local culture among breathtaking scenery. Ecohills homestay had beautiful views being perched on the mid hill, massage was cheap and good but the best experience was the homestay dinner! They are ala carte prices but very reasonable and delicious. The homestay is run by a loving young couple and family, really glad to have met them. Some points to note: There's a 200m walk with steep slope from the car dropoff up to the homestay, motorbikes are able to go up all the way. Recommend to avoid large luggages and come in the cooler weathers for lesser bugs.

Booked: 2D1N Scenic Sapa Homestay on a Hill Top

May was such a lovely guide who was really supporting and helpful, especially in my case because I didn‘t feel super good and was a bit sick. The tour was really nice and the views beautiful. Her English was really good and we could understand her without problems! Also the lunch was very delicious. So the price was totally okay and worth it. Would do a second tour for sure but then more than 1 day :-)
