I had such an excellent tour with Pao. He is an amazing guide, I saw so much in one day. He was even kind enough to show me his family's home and took me to all the different villages. I loved it and highly reccomend it.

I embarked on this local trekking tour last week, and now that I've concluded my journey through Southeast Asia, I can wholeheartedly say this tour was the highlight and most unforgettable part of my travels. My tour guide was exceptional—both incredibly knowledgeable and genuinely kind. She took the time to delve into the lifestyle of the Hmong tribe, sharing fascinating insights and personal anecdotes throughout the trek. She seamlessly wove together stories of how the Hmong people cultivate rice and craft their clothing, with vivid explanations of the local wildlife and plants found in the villages. Meeting the locals, thanks to her introductions, added a profound and authentic layer to the experience. My homestay was absolutely wonderful; the owners were remarkably hospitable, making me feel truly at home. This tour wasn't just a trek; it was an immersive journey into the heart of a vibrant culture.

I embarked on a solo adventure and booked a one-day trek to Fansipan, and I can’t recommend it enough! The whole experience was smooth and enjoyable, thanks to their easygoing communication and exceptional professionalism. I was incredibly fortunate to have Seu as my guide. He was not only attentive and considerate but also patient and delightful to be around. Hiking with him felt like exploring with a friend. Truly a fantastic guy! If you're aiming to conquer the peak of Fansipan, which I highly encourage, you can trust these folks completely. They’ll make your journey unforgettable!

Trekking up Fansipan was an incredible adventure! The 5-hour hike, guided by an expert, rewarded us with breathtaking views at the summit. It was an unforgettable experience, filled with stunning landscapes and the thrill of conquering the "Roof of Indochina."

We had an incredible trek with Du, a day we will never forget. The day before, we met her lovely sister, Ku, which set the stage for our adventure. Spending the day with Du was a delight—it was just the two of us, and she took exceptional care of us while being fantastic company. Our experience was thoroughly enjoyable, starting with breathtaking views of the rice fields and culminating in a wonderful lunch at Du’s home in the village. We learned so much about Du, her family, and her tribe’s way of life. This personalized journey was a highlight of our trip and far surpassed any group tour. If you want a deeper, more intimate understanding of the culture and the people, we highly recommend this experience!

We had an incredible day walking tour with Sapa local guide, which turned out to be our best experience in Vietnam! The tour included a picturesque walk through the rice fields to Khu's village, a scenic four-hour journey from our hotel in Sapa. Throughout the walk, Khu kept us engaged with her charming personality, fascinating stories, and insightful explanations. She answered all our questions with ease, showcasing her excellent English skills. The highlight was the delicious lunch at her home, a true taste of local cuisine. Khu also thoughtfully arranged our ride back to the hotel, making the entire experience seamless. Our time with Khu was unforgettable, and we wholeheartedly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Vietnam!

**An Unforgettable Adventure in SaPa with Pham** Our 2-day hike with an overnight homestay at Pham’s home was simply spectacular! From the moment we arrived, Pham and her husband greeted us with warmth and genuine hospitality, making us feel like part of their family. They meticulously organized an unforgettable stay for us, filled with unique and extraordinary experiences. Pham guided us through mesmerizing rice fields, enchanting bamboo forests, and breathtaking mountain trails, revealing hidden gems and special spots along the way. Exploring this stunning landscape with such a delightful and knowledgeable guide was an absolute joy. Pham’s deep understanding of local life and culture enriched our journey, offering us insights that only a true local could provide. The homestay itself was a perfect adventure, blending comfort with authenticity. Sapa local prepared mouthwatering meals for us, both dinner and breakfast, showcasing the delicious local cuisine. The entire experience was flawlessly organized; we didn't have to worry about our luggage or transportation from the train station to SaPa town – every detail was expertly handled. There is so much more to share about our incredible two days and the time spent with Pham. For anyone planning a trip to SaPa, we highly recommend this experience.

I can't wait to come back! A huge thank you to Giang and my homestay family for one of the most incredible experiences of my life. As an avid traveler, I rarely visit the same place twice, but I will definitely be returning here as soon as possible. Giang, my guide, was absolutely wonderful—kind, sweet, knowledgeable, and incredibly interesting. The perfect guide! Even though we had heavy rain on the first day, it was still a fantastic experience. The homestay provided me with the best night's sleep I've had in a month of traveling through Vietnam. A hot shower, a delicious dinner, and a comfortable, warm bed were exactly what I needed. Plus, the adorable puppy was a delightful bonus! The next morning, I enjoyed the best banana pancakes and coffee I've ever had. Thank you all so much, and I hope to see you again soon!
