We were picked up at our hotel and started a 15km trekking trough beautiful rice paddy’s and small ethnic minorities. It was a very special day to see such beautiful landscapes combines with very authentic villages to visit. We enjoyed the walk but mostly it was great to walk together with 2 locals who share so much knowledge about the agriculture and traditions. I would definitely recommend everyone to make this trip. Thanks very much!
May was a lovely and very informative Guide. We had an amazing day, a very good hike and a good bath at the end. Highly recommend it!
Ich war die einzige Touristin an diesem Tag und hatte den Tourguide, Mae, ganz für mich allein. es war eine tolle Route und da Mae aus einem der Dörfer stamnt, hatte sie ein gutes Wissen über Flora und Fauna, Leben in den Dlrfern etc. Sie war super nett und hilfsbereit und ihr Englisch war sehr gut. Daa Mittagessen war einfach aber lecker und das Hot Herrbal Bath war fantastisch.
My guide was MaTei, a woman from the red dao. The tour through the rice fields and and local hills north of sapa was really beautiful and I learned a lot about the culture the highlight in the end was the red dao bath. I can really recommend it if you wanna make a easy to mid hike and wanna learn a lot about the locals
Excellent guide who was extremely informative about the local area and life in Vietnam. Couldn’t thank him enough for his insights and attitude!
We absolutely loved this day tour. A 14km hike in breathtaking scenery with an excellent local guide. We felt safe and learnt lots about the local tribes. We ate lunch in a local restaurant and had the opportunity to buy local crafts. The day was finished with an authentic herbal bath, which was the perfect way to relax after a long trek. Would recommend to anyone visiting Sapa. Thank you so much to our wonderful guide.
Fabulous 7 mile walk with amazing views and and a beautiful light into the local culture. Totally recommend this.
The activity was amazing, May is an amazing local guide with a lot of knowledge and experience. I had a great day on the trip and got so much knowledge about the Vietnamese and its minorities. The hike ended with the relaxing herbal bath. Recommend! Thank you May!
Super tour !! Je recommande fortement
We maakten een mooie wandeling met een lokale gids van zo een 12km door de rijst en groentevelden, vaak tussen de lokale bevolking. De lunch was goed met een prachtig uitzicht! Na de lunch was er nog een korte wandeling richting het kruidenbad, een aanrader!
Wow! Was für ein toller Ausflug! Wir wurden an unserer Unterkunft abgeholt und sind zusammen mit unserem Tourguide Su 2 Stunden gewandert. Wir haben sehr viel von der Umgebung gesehen und viel über Sa Pa gelernt. Nach einem sehr guten Mittagessen in einem netten kleinen Restaurant ging es weiter zum Red Dao Kräuterbad. Wir haben für ca 30 Minuten das wohltuende Bad genossen und wurden anschließend mit dem Taxi zurück zur Unterkunft gefahren. Ein rundum gelungener Ausflug! Danke an Su!
