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!

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.

Tour guide was very friendly and punctual! Thanks Zok (not sure how to correctly spell his name) for a helpful guide and assisting my friend who was lagging behind! The journey was very long and tiring but there was zero hiccup and we all had a good time! The guide also prepared a very bountiful lunch for our group of 3. At the end of the journey we got a medal and certificate for successfully completing the climb too, which was a nice surprise. Would recommend hikers to plan their hike on a weekday instead of a weekend as the summit was very crowded when we went on a Sunday. The weather in April / May is also quite warm with chilly winds. There was no rain but we did pack rain jackets and umbrella just in case.

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
