The first weekend after the end of the lockdown i went to Sa Pa to hike this beautiful mountain and i had the best time ever. First of all i had a great guide SU ( thank you again!) all for me as i was alone in my group. The mountain as well was desert as Fansipan peak (compared to high season). i highly recomend a two days hiking if you are not a super fit trekker, as the trail is not so easy, especially to do it in 10 hours, but is stunning and worth it! Don't go with the cable car but support local communities and especially O'Chau Agency! You will not be disappointed!!…

We were a group of 6 friends in our 50’s very keen to get out of the big cities of Vietnam and explore some countryside. Our guide My ( pronounced Me), who we requested due to her amazing reviews was an absolute delight. So energetic, enthusiastic and informative from the moment we met to saying our sad goodbyes. Sapa was surprisingly big and judging by the amount of restaurants and hotels must get extremely busy. Fortunately for us the dreaded Coronavirus had begun to go global so tourist numbers were way down. No problems with crowds. It poured rain the afternoon we arrived after we’d completed a short 2 hour trek. It had cleared the following day in time for a 4 hour trek but it did make the conditions quite muddy and slippery. Thank goodness for the local tribe ladies who accompanied us and helped us out!! Stunning views of the countryside and local villages although a little seasonal fog drifted in and out. The food at the lunch stop was fresh, plentiful and delicious. The hotel The Bamboo Sapa was fantastic and great value for money. Clean, spacious rooms, good amenities, perfect location, efficient service and great buffet breakfast. Overall, a really enjoyable experience. You don’t need to be an experienced trekker but some level of fitness is helpful. Longish bus ride, the break could be shortened, especially on the return trip. We all enjoyed it…

We had to cancel our trip due to the Coronovirus outbreak because we could be quarantine for 14 days if someone in the same plane were tested positive with the virus. We have a lot of small children and seniors at home. Therefore, we really did not want to take the risk and jeopardize the health of our family members. Hong was extremely helpful and excellent in planning our trip with very reasonable price, constantly providing update via email, Skype and WhatsApp until wee hours. Eventually he assisted to cancel the trip and arrange refund because he truly understood the emergency situation with virus outbreak and wanted to provide 100+% customer satisfaction. With no doubt, i would definitely contact Hong for my next Vietnam trip. I was really sad and dissapointed that we could not visit Vietnam, but knowing there is such a helpful and fantastic Traver Advisor, Hong, I can't wait to book my Vietnam trip soon.…

Our experience, a week-long tour of Hanoi-Sapa-Halong Bay, was superb. Ms Hai did a great job to organised to cater on our request and budget. The accommodations were excellent and transportation are hassle free . Our tour guides, were knowledgeable on the places we been and very eager to share their knowledge on the rich culture of Vietnam and were charming companions, as well. We had the most remarkable couple tour with Trekking Sapa. Not only everything was perfect, but we felt, in every instance from booking this tour via Ms Hai, to our tour guides and the Halong Bay Peony cruise crew truly cared about us, and did their best to make this trip memorable. Two Thumbs Up and highly recommended tour company in Vietnam. Thank you so much!…

From the beginning to end of our Hanoi - Mt Fansipan -Sapa Trip, we received excellent service by Tam from Trekking Sapa. During the planning stage, she was very fast and consistent with her replies. When we arrived in Hanoi, she personally met us for dinner and dessert before sending us to the train station. She made us feel very safe & secure by answering all our queries promptly and also kept in touch via WhatsApp daily throughout our climb until our departure back to Singapore. The transport and guides, especially Thom were excellent. We were astonished by the foggy poetic elegance of Mt Fansipan and climbing together as a team of friends forged us some glowing undying memories! 😃…
