Full description

This is a experience in Sapa. It is run by Sapa Trekking Hiking Tours, an operator we book with directly rather than through a reseller, which is why we can hold your place with them before we treat your booking as final.

A private day with a driver-guide is the way to see the most of a Japanese city or region in one day, because it removes the transfers between sights that eat a third of the day on public transport. Prices are usually per vehicle for up to a set number of guests rather than per person, and cover the car, fuel, tolls and the guide; entrance fees and lunch are paid as you go unless the listing says otherwise. Japanese guides are licensed for the work and typically punctual to the minute. Give the operator your priorities, and expect them to reorder the day around opening hours and crowds; that is what you are paying for.

The price covers Hotel pickup and drop off, Villages entry fee, English speaking guide, Lunch at village and Water: 1.5L/per person/per day. It does not cover Tip for guide/driver, Travel insurance and Extra drink, so budget for those separately. Everything included is listed in full on this page; if something is not on that list, assume it is not in the price.

Sa Pa. We need at least one day's notice, and we confirm the date with Sapa Trekking Hiking Tours before treating your booking as final. If they cannot take your date we tell you and refund you rather than leave you waiting.

The tour was awesome and really well organized. They picked us up from our resort and took us straight to the center, which made everything super easy. Our guide, May Pham, was amazing—so friendly and knowledgeable. Me and my partner had the best time and would 100% recommend her to anyone thinking about doing this tour!

Sapa was beautiful. We were happy because we actually saw the tribal villages and saw how they live there. The path is muddy in places, so it was a nice experience to be careful if you don't slip somewhere. It was authentic and really exciting. Our guide had excellent English. She said she learned it from tourists, that she didn't go to school and couldn't read or write. it is really admirable that she has learned English at such a level from tourists. However, I am not sure if the guides are well informed about what the tour includes according to the description. The description of the trip s

The overall process of booking and communicating with SAPA trekking organizers were excellent. All properly arranged. As for our guide being assigned, Tung - she was excellent. Tung was knowledgeable and caring. She always will look out for my family members (private arrangement). The lunch provided (in the rice fields cooked by locals) were great !! Very fresh & Yummy vegetables and chicken. On the feedback side. > At the start, we walk along streets for about 45mins (from Sapa town central) to the Village (where you see/enter rice fields..etc). If arrangement can be made so that the start of

Highly recommeded. Tour was amazing and beautifull. Our guide Pang Chau was amazing and well speaking english. She explain a lot about village life, crops, culture. Landscape was stunning and lunch in village very tasty. We also get water and raincoat at beggining. Path was muddy but we get a lot of help from local people and guide. The path itself wasn't crowded and less tourist. Our tour was private so we had own speed and regular breaks. Thank you for unforgetable experience.

Activity was fantastic, the guide picked us up from our hotel on foot and we started the trek, WARNING people from a village will start following your group from town for most of the trek with the expectation of you buying something at the midway point of the tour before lunch, I can understand how this would make people uncomfortable to fork out extra money if they don’t want to. In my instance it was fine. But other than that the 5-6 hours was perfect amount of trekking but I wouldn’t recommend for anyone who struggles walking up to 10km

Ms. Chau was an awesome tour guide and showed us the tracks through the Sapa valley while explaining us the life of the local people from her own experiences. Our advice would be to check the weather in advance and definitely bring hiking boots if it is rainy, since the track can get very slippery. But you will also get assistance from the locals (in exchange for a small gratitude). We were the only ones on the trip, which gave as a unique experience!

Chu war ein super Guide. Hatte ein zügiges Tempo drauf, was uns sehr entgegen kam, da wir auch schnell unterwegs sind beim Wandern. Negativ hervorzuheben ist, dass sich während der Tour Einheimische anschliessen und irgendwelches Material versuchen zu verkaufen. Dies auf höchst aufdringliche Art, indem man den Touristen in Form von schlechtem Gewissen und Druck, zu einem Kauf zu zwingen. Es ist höchst unangenehm. Wenn man nichts kauft, so sagen sie, hat man Pech für den Rest des Lebens. Wenn man die Locals unterstützen will, dann geht in die Stores & Restaurants und gibt dort Geld aus und gibt
