My trip occurred in early November 2025. Overall, it was a great trip with some hiccups here and there for delayed transport, for example, but it somehow all worked out in the end. That was the lesson for my entire Vietnam trip though... to be patient, because somehow it all works out. :) Guide Tim picked me up very promptly from my hotel in Sapa on the 1st day for the trek up Fansipan. Beautiful weather! Guide didn't rush me after I hit a wall, hah. Lunch could have been better... the pho other trekkers were getting smelled grand and I yearned for the warmth. Almost thought I wasn't going to make it down the gondola with the ticket that was provided to me (a screenshot) but the worker gave me the go ahead eventually but after a wait and a few calls. Ride to Zizi's homestay was delayed but he got me there super quick. I suspected the walk to the homestay would not be roller luggage friendly after some research which I attempted to verify with the host through WhatsApp beforehand, but they never understood my request so my question went unanswered. The path is still pretty much paved but steep, something to bare in mind especially after coming off from climbing up to Fansipan. I otherwise was able to get to the homestay after some perseverance which wasn't too bad in the end and rather short too. It would still be helpful to recommend a backpack for hauling around luggage in Sapa, in general. The sisters run the homestay and it was truly a genuine experience. Beautiful scenery! Dinner was absolutely delicious. I linked up with the Hmong guide the next morning though the time for the meeting was confusing. They did track me down where I waited in the garden area. The trek was AWESOME and lunch so, so good. I wasn't expecting the elevation gain and mileage that day but it was helpful not knowing because I was able to enjoy the scenery and take it all in as it came. Sue was freakin awesome taking me around and we ended up in the perfect part of town where I needed to catch my bus in 2 hours. Luggage made it to me via her super cool husband. Again, it all just works out! Happy to have gone on the trek. The Vietnamese people are simply outstanding!

I booked this trip the day before, and the contact for the company was timely and professional with communication. The experience itself was awesome, my guide Mao was lovely and we had a challenging but rewarding day trekking together. She made me a hot lunch before we trekked to the summit as well, which was well needed and I was so grateful for it. Overall with transportation and food and the guide, I think this experience was worth the money and I would definitely book through this company again.

Incredible trek with Pao! I can only recommend you to do it even if it can be a bit challenging! I made the 31 December and the weather was perfect! We started the walk by night then we had a beautiful sunrise 🌄 The lunch in the second base camp was really good. Pao was a great guide, knowing perfectly the trek and really cheerful ! All the organisation was perfect, thx ☺️
