Traveler Reviews
our guide Lynn was very nice and friendly. overall very good experience
Had a great day. Our guide La was awesome! Spoke excellent English and spoke Vietnamese with my wife. Gave us great insights into the local culture and customs. Would recommend this tour without hesitation.
A fantastic day trip seeing some magnificent sights. La our guide was excellent. The waterfalls are beautiful and the Gala Bridge was interesting but sadly a misty day so views were sadly non existent. Lunch was superb and the visit to the Lao Chai valley most interesting.
everything was wonderful! we saw waterfalls, villages and rice fields, all what you can enjoy in Sapa!
We had a wonderful day with Mia. She has great English and was so interesting and informative, answering our many questions and taking lots of photos for us. We never felt rushed and nothing was too much trouble for her. We loved learning about her culture, lifestyle, traditions and family. The locations she took us to were fabulous! We loved the Glass Bridge, the Lonely Tree, the waterfalls and Cat Cat Village. In fact everything was wonderful and it was great seeing both the touristy sites as well as learning about the every day lives of the various tribes in the area and driving through som
Absolutely loved our day with Shu our tour guide. amazing day we had. thank you so much. 100% book this full day tour.
Our guide Mia was wonderful , she is very knowledgeable and provides great insights to the everyday life of sapa people as well as show the attractions . We enjoyed everything the village visit was a highlight and braving the cold water and swimming in love waterfall
We loved every part of it. The fact our guide was local and took us to her village was a massive bonus. We got to see the non commercialised part of Sa Pa, which we really enjoyed. Also meeting the locals. We felt very welcome and I wouldn’t have changed a single thing. Our guide tailored the whole day to our needs and wishes, she was fantastic.
We had a fantastic day visiting villages, rice fields and waterfalls. Sisi was a fantastic guide, the perfect balance of helpful and still giving you space. We chose private tour as I am not very fit and worried about the pace of a group trip. Sisi was super understanding and adapted the pace. The driver was great and we felt really looked after. Lunch was delicious
Our guide Sisi was fantastic. Her English was very good and during the drive she shared lots of interesting information about life in Vietnam and in the villages of Sapa. It was fantastic to learn more about the culture from an informed local. We started the day with a visit to the Silver Waterfall followed by Love Waterfall. Both had lots of steps and were challenging for myself as I am asthmatic. Sisi was incredibly considerate and understanding, she encouraged us to take our time and to go at our pace. This meant I was able to experience the full tour and participate in all of the activitie
This private tour is perfect for anyone who only have a short stay in Sapa (one day for us). It was very well managed in terms of timing and all customizable. We could do the waterfalls, the small villages, the rice terraces, also having some short hikes and spend time enjoying the lunch in a perfect spot. Soso the guide is lovely and funny. She let you choose the itinerary and give more options or recommendations. Can’t have better host following us during the day!
We thoroughly enjoyed our day-long private tour. We walked down a valley to a beautiful waterfall, saw the market in SaPa and toured villages. The highlight of the day was a visit to our guide’s village where we had a delicious lunch overlooking fields and grazing water buffalo. Our guide was fantastic. We had great talks with her and learned a lot about her Hmong way of life. We also visited the glass bridge, accessible by an elevator that runs up a cliff face to a point high above the valley. The entrance fee was not covered and the activity was optional, but worthwhile. Finally, it was good
