"Perfect trip with TrekkingSapa"
De La Baie d’Halong aux Temples d’Angkor , December 2012
Reviewed On: Apr 10, 2019The passionate integrity and commitment of Mr Hong and Ms My and driver to maintaining the culture of the TrekkingSapa tribes people and preserving their landscape and privacy, while at the same time offering them real practical support, transmits itself to all who participate in their project. As a tourist, you are made to feel a vital part of this project, so in addition to a wonderful touring experience you come away with a deep sense of satisfaction at having been able to contribute in your own small way to ensuring that what we understand by 'Sapa' will still be there for future generations. And for ourselves if we are lucky enough to return. Ms.Bianca Troncone - United States

"The trip was amazing"
De La Baie d’Halong aux Temples d’Angkor , December 2012
Reviewed On: Feb 13, 2019I just finished a three day two night trek with Trekking Sapa. It was one of the best travel experiences I have ever had. The trek was booked about four months ago completely online. They handled everything from booking the overnight train from Hanoi, transportation from Lao Cai to Sapa (about 50 mins), and we were dropped off at Trekking Sapa office in the center of town. We were met with a free breakfast, a warm shower, and of course lots of smiles. I booked the Northern, off the beaten path, route where there were less tourists. The two night were at homes at homestays with warm beds and showers. Dinners were prepared by the owners of the homestay where I learned to make a couple Vietnamese dishes. The food was amazing.My guide from the Black Hmong tribe. She spoke excellent English so was able to learn a lot about her traditions and the life of the tribal people in the area. By the end of the trek, I felt that I had a life long friend. If you decide to book a trek, and I highly recommend you do, bring a day pack with a couple changes of clothes. Nights and mornings were chilly but days were warm, especially once we started hiking. Good hiking shoes are a must as well as rain coat. Water can be bought from the homestay and I filled up a water bottle to carry. I had so much fun with the Trekking Sapa and will definitely be back to explore more of beautiful Northern Vietnam.Linita Chongue – New Zealand

"Exceptional private tour company"
De La Baie d’Halong aux Temples d’Angkor , December 2012
Reviewed On: May 01, 2018
If you're looking a SAPA tour away from all the tourist traps and shenanigans, look no further. This small company caters to people who want to learn, and experience the no frills, day to day lives of the SAPA remote communities away from the hordes of tourists.
We took the one day trekking tour and were in awe. We first started with a walk to the local market to purchase our lunch - we had mushrooms, chicken, pork and tofu with a ton of vegetables. Our guide then brought us to a remote rice paddy in the mountains and we trekked for the better half of the day until we reached a small village where a family helped us cook our lunch. Exceptional views, amazing company. We then trekked back down. We were lucky that the weather was perfect - if it is raining, you WILL need hiking boots.
I will recommend this company to all who wish to experience sapa away from the tourist traps. See up the excellent work!

Reviewed On: Nov 03, 2017It's worth every cent, every hour in a bus or train to go here. The experiences we had over 2 tours will always stay with me for the rest of my life. I'll go back, but for longer next time. My favourite moment of that day was standing out on the verandah as the kids ran through the village home from school and imitating animals with them while they all laughed at me. If you get to Sapa, there's not really any other place to do these things. Thanks for Dung and Mr Hong and the team for being heroes to my group :) Ms.Vember Mortlock -United Kingdom

It seems to me all the tour guides we met at TrekkingSapa were lovely and in our case we felt we couldn't have gotten any luckier than having Mr Hong!

"Incredibly authentic tour in Sapa"
De La Baie d’Halong aux Temples d’Angkor , December 2012
Reviewed On: Sep 07, 2017We had such an incredible night at Mu home, cooking and drinking some of her home-made rice wine. The moment we walked into the doors of TrekkingSapa we were greeted with open arms and were taught all about the Hmong people and villages. I knew very very little about these people and the history of these people. I would encourage anyone thinking of touring Sapa to explore with a local guide. Our hike to Mu's home led us through many people's homes and backyards. We shared food an drink with strangers and family. We brought fresh meat and vegetables to people's home along the way and shared lunch with them. As the name implies this is an extremely ethical tour that promotes health and wealth in the local villages who, without the support of TrekkingSapa,would not be as educated and given the opportunities they now have. It was a Magical experience! I Highly recommend. You cannot miss this experience if you come to Sapa Chang Hua Go – Malaysia

"A wonderful organization"

Reviewed On: Dec 04, 2016My husband and I recently completed the 8 days trip in the North of Vietnam and we never forget our 3 day 2 night homestay tour. Our guide, Sang ,made our experience a truly memorable one! We trekked the first day for about 4 hours and spent the night in a lovely home with a warm, friendly and kind family. We even helped prepare the evening meal !! The food was amazing, certainly could not have been any fresher, since it was picked from her garden. Our second day of trekking was more challenging, but Sang was totally attentive to us. That night was spent in her home, where we got to meet her husband and children. Again, another wonderful meal. The most important part of this experience is that this organization was established to benefit the Hmong people, financially and educationally. The owner, herself a hmong has become an international figure in promoting sustainable tourism. So please, if you are thinking of trekking, please book with TrekkingSapa!!! Ishaan -India

"Perfect tour"

United States"Perfect trip with TrekkingSapa"
Visited Feb 06, 2019Ms.Bianca Troncone (Couples)
United StatesThe passionate integrity and commitment of Mr Hong and Ms My and driver to maintaining the culture of the TrekkingSapa tribes people and preserving their landscape and privacy, while at the same time offering them real practical support, transmits itself to all who participate in their project. As a tourist, you are made to feel a vital part of this project, so in addition to a wonderful touring experience you come away with a deep sense of satisfaction at having been able to contribute in your own small way to ensuring that what we understand by 'Sapa' will still be there for future generations. And for ourselves if we are lucky enough to return. Ms.Bianca Troncone - United States
"The trip was amazing"
Visited Jan 11, 2019Linita Chongue (Friends)
New ZealandI just finished a three day two night trek with Trekking Sapa. It was one of the best travel experiences I have ever had. The trek was booked about four months ago completely online. They handled everything from booking the overnight train from Hanoi, transportation from Lao Cai to Sapa (about 50 mins), and we were dropped off at Trekking Sapa office in the center of town. We were met with a free breakfast, a warm shower, and of course lots of smiles. I booked the Northern, off the beaten path, route where there were less tourists. The two night were at homes at homestays with warm beds and showers. Dinners were prepared by the owners of the homestay where I learned to make a couple Vietnamese dishes. The food was amazing.My guide from the Black Hmong tribe. She spoke excellent English so was able to learn a lot about her traditions and the life of the tribal people in the area. By the end of the trek, I felt that I had a life long friend. If you decide to book a trek, and I highly recommend you do, bring a day pack with a couple changes of clothes. Nights and mornings were chilly but days were warm, especially once we started hiking. Good hiking shoes are a must as well as rain coat. Water can be bought from the homestay and I filled up a water bottle to carry. I had so much fun with the Trekking Sapa and will definitely be back to explore more of beautiful Northern Vietnam.Linita Chongue – New Zealand

"Impressively unforgettable trekking in Sapa"
Visited Apr 11, 2019Kate Drinkwater (Family)
AustraliaWe started our day trekking on a rainy day with friendly and knowledgable My, our tour guide. We've heard a lot about Trekking Sapa tour guide and till we experienced it ourselves. We're truly impressed with the way how My guided us throughout the journey. She briefed us about what to wear and bring and ensure everything was perfect before we start the journey. Thank you Sang and Trekking Sapa! Kate Drinkwater -Australia
"Exceptional private tour company"
Visited Apr 11, 2018Molly Hingtgen (Couples)
United StatesIf you're looking a SAPA tour away from all the tourist traps and shenanigans, look no further. This small company caters to people who want to learn, and experience the no frills, day to day lives of the SAPA remote communities away from the hordes of tourists.
We took the one day trekking tour and were in awe. We first started with a walk to the local market to purchase our lunch - we had mushrooms, chicken, pork and tofu with a ton of vegetables. Our guide then brought us to a remote rice paddy in the mountains and we trekked for the better half of the day until we reached a small village where a family helped us cook our lunch. Exceptional views, amazing company. We then trekked back down. We were lucky that the weather was perfect - if it is raining, you WILL need hiking boots.
I will recommend this company to all who wish to experience sapa away from the tourist traps. See up the excellent work!

"Highlight of our trip"
Visited Oct 05, 2017Ms.Vember Mortlock (Family)
United KingdomIt's worth every cent, every hour in a bus or train to go here. The experiences we had over 2 tours will always stay with me for the rest of my life. I'll go back, but for longer next time. My favourite moment of that day was standing out on the verandah as the kids ran through the village home from school and imitating animals with them while they all laughed at me. If you get to Sapa, there's not really any other place to do these things. Thanks for Dung and Mr Hong and the team for being heroes to my group :) Ms.Vember Mortlock -United Kingdom
"Sapa is the best choice for our vacation in Vietnam"
Visited Sep 21, 2017Mr.Andreas Myrianthis (Friends)
CyprusWhat I will say is, this trip is very much about meeting the local Hmong people and getting to know the tour guide. It seems to me all the tour guides we met at TrekkingSapa were lovely and in our case we felt we couldn't have gotten any luckier than having Mr Hong! Overall, it is definitely something we are really pleased to have experienced. We loved Mr Hong and our guide Mr Ngoc and we are so grateful we were able to stay in local house and experience the way of life of the Hmong tribe. Thanks to TrekkingSapa for organising and facilitating the trip and for the great work you're doing with the community. Mr.Andreas Myrianthis -Cypriot
"Very special tour!"
Visited Sep 05, 2017Ms.Pippa Arrigo (Friends)
MaltaWe booked a tour at TrekkingSapa. this was very special. Before booking they explained to is how they Hmong people live and why they do what they do in order to survive. It gives a good perspective on things here in sapa. We had a private tour with My a Hmong girl wich take us to the market. We bought some food and then we went to her village to eat it with her family. This was very special for us and we really saw how here tribe lives. She speaks very good English and had answers to all our questions. We felt very much at home and we could ask here anything. After lunch we hiked down the very beautiful valley. It was one Of The best hikes we have ever made.We've learned a lot about her people and its a very special way of living. I would recommend it very much. Ms.Pippa Arrigo - Maltese

"Incredibly authentic tour in Sapa"
Visited Aug 09, 2017Chang Hua Go (Couples)
MalaysiaWe had such an incredible night at Mu home, cooking and drinking some of her home-made rice wine. The moment we walked into the doors of TrekkingSapa we were greeted with open arms and were taught all about the Hmong people and villages. I knew very very little about these people and the history of these people. I would encourage anyone thinking of touring Sapa to explore with a local guide. Our hike to Mu's home led us through many people's homes and backyards. We shared food an drink with strangers and family. We brought fresh meat and vegetables to people's home along the way and shared lunch with them. As the name implies this is an extremely ethical tour that promotes health and wealth in the local villages who, without the support of TrekkingSapa,would not be as educated and given the opportunities they now have. It was a Magical experience! I Highly recommend. You cannot miss this experience if you come to Sapa Chang Hua Go – Malaysia
"A wonderful organization"
Visited Nov 05, 2016Ishaan (Couples)
IndiaMy husband and I recently completed the 8 days trip in the North of Vietnam and we never forget our 3 day 2 night homestay tour. Our guide, Sang ,made our experience a truly memorable one! We trekked the first day for about 4 hours and spent the night in a lovely home with a warm, friendly and kind family. We even helped prepare the evening meal !! The food was amazing, certainly could not have been any fresher, since it was picked from her garden. Our second day of trekking was more challenging, but Sang was totally attentive to us. That night was spent in her home, where we got to meet her husband and children. Again, another wonderful meal. The most important part of this experience is that this organization was established to benefit the Hmong people, financially and educationally. The owner, herself a hmong has become an international figure in promoting sustainable tourism. So please, if you are thinking of trekking, please book with TrekkingSapa!!! Ishaan -India
