Trek was fun! Had the option for ‘hard’ road or easy road. We chose hard road however it was only hard as it’s rather steep and a bit muddy from rain day before. In the better summer weather would be fun for all. We started the hard route and 2 people found they didn’t have the appropriate shoes and our guide was very gracious and called someone to help and accommodate their needs and take them the alternative easy route. Very good trek, views and knowledge of the guide Hanna. Highly recommend! heads up the decent down is STEEP prepare your knees.

It was really nice! Despite the bad weather and outside of the rice season, it was highly recommended. Lala is so positive and funny and the evening with her and the rice water was very good. It is very important to her to share her culture and show nature. It was really great. You should really wear non-slip shoes. Here too, Lala was very accommodating and always looked after everyone. We were very satisfied.

I appreciated the two stops on the long drivers the bus was very comfortable. I was surprised that the driver gave us each a bottle of water and a bread roll at the start our trip so that was a nice treat. Unfortunately I was the last in to be picked up so I had to sit in the back and I get motion sickness very easily.

I really enjoyed my guided hike with Phinh. She was kind, helpful, and super informative. She made my experience in the Sapa area a memorable one.

Our guide was really lovely and gave us lots of information. The early part of the tour was a beautiful walk
