Full description
This is a 7-hour experience in Sapa. It is run by Vietnam Real Tour, 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.
Japan's outdoors is organised: trails are marked, mountain huts are booked, and the walking routes with history, the Nakasendo post road between Magome and Tsumago and the Kumano Kodo pilgrimage in Wakayama, are done in comfortable day stages with luggage forwarded. Cycling tours use the flat river paths and back streets that cars avoid. The summer heat from July to September makes early starts essential in the cities and lowlands, while the mountains are cool. Winter turns Hokkaido and Nagano into ski country from December to March, with the powder that Niseko and Hakuba are known for.
The price covers Hotel pickup and drop-off, Guided trek, Villages entry fees, ethnic guide and lunch. It does not cover Drinks and Tips, 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.

Traveler Reviews
Tour guide Mao was very attentive and gladly answered all the questions, and also showed us her house and family. We walked about 11 kilometers through a bamboo forest and rice terraces. The views are very beautiful and it is interesting to see how other people live. But because of the fog, the paths were very slippery, which made it physically difficult to walk. Thanks to the local woman who accompanied me and saved me from falling. Other tourists were in rubber boots and even with trekking poles, I was not so prepared 😄 But I still enjoyed the tour. I recommend booking a tour in advance to b
Belle petite balade sur les rizières, la guide était très sympathique et bienveillante !
Die Wanderung zu den Dörfern hat sehr viel Spaß gemacht. Ich empfehle auf jeden Fall Gummistiefel bei nassem Wetter, denn die Wege sind matschig und dreckig. Es besteht Rutschgfahr, für mich war das aber eine sehr spaßige Erfahrung, die ich definitiv weiterempfehlen kann.
Though a soggy day, the trek was very well organized and I learned a great deal. Our guide spoke very well and shared msny personal experiences
Nice, authentic, lovely Guide - we were a good mixed group every age and everybody did great tho. We went through some villages and rice fields, ate at an local restaurant and drove back to Sa Pa with a bus. Thank you :)
Great walk around the surrounding villages with a very friendly tour guide. Got to see a side of Vietnam that is not usually seen! Make sure you bring comfortable shoes with good grip as it can be slippery along the walk. The only downside was the persistence of a lot of the locals in trying to sell you goods.
Trip was fascinating, good pace, lots of fantastic views. Good lunch and prompt transport back to town.
The trip was good overall. I liked the lovely views of the paddy fields, the villages we walked through, and that I was able to ask the local guide some questions about the fields and life in Vietnam. The only downside was the hard sell at the end of the tour - be prepared for all the locals coming up to you trying to sell scarfs, bracelets etc. …
Genial, con guia local y muy amable
It was good, the guide explained the habits and customs. A bit too touristy though
The excursion is of medium difficulty. Since there are 5 hours of trekking without rest and the descents are steep, crossing rivers, jumping stones and going downhill, which makes it difficult to enjoy the landscape and you are careful not to fall. Many of the local guides do not speak English and it is impossible to communicate. Nor do they carry a first aid kit for the three people in the group who fell and hurt themselves. The excursion group is joined by friends or people from the local guides who are very hard at selling their crafts. During trekking it is walking behind them without paus
De trip was erg mooi, leuk en interessant! Onze gids kon veel vertellen over de omgeving en gebruiken. Het uitzicht was echt fantastisch. Het pad kan in het begin nogal gevaarlijk begaanbaar zijn. Gelukkig zijn er genoeg helpende handen van andere locals die mee lopen. In ruil voor hun hulp koop je uiteindelijk wat bij hen. (Tasje, armband o.i.d.). Het is een lange tocht, dus vergeet je zonnebrand niet! Onderweg heb je een aantal keer de mogelijkheid om naar het toilet te gaan of wat drinken te kopen. Water meenemen in het begin is een must want dit zit niet bij de prijs inbegrepen. Heerlijke
