Full description
This is a 5-hour experience from Sapa, built around Bus/coach. 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.
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 guide - Local guide, Village entrance fee, Lunch in village, Water: 1 big bottle of water/per person and Raincoat in case of bad weather. It does not cover Tip for guide and driver, Extra drink along the way and restaurant, Personal expenses and Travel insurance, 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.
Nhà Thờ Đá Sapa. 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.

If I could, I would give them 1 hundred stars. May Sieu, our guide, took us through the Hmong villages with love and pride, telling us stories about her family, ancestors and the land. If we could, we would stay there for a week, learning and enjoying the valley.
We had an unforgettable experience on our guided tour with May, who is actually from one of the villages we visited. This made the tour even more special, as she gave us an authentic, personal insight into the lives of the local tribe people. She took us to three different villages, where we got to see how the communities live and even had the chance to step inside a real home. It was eye-opening and incredibly humbling. May was warm, engaging, and full of fascinating facts. Because she’s part of the community, she spoke with such honesty and depth — it felt like we were being welcomed into he
Incredible trek around the local rice fields. May Pham was a brilliant tour guide, very knowledgeable and so sweet. We had a small group which made the trek so much more personal and we’ll remember it forever.
This was a very enjoyable trekking tour with our guide Say. She provided great insights into the local life and shared her knowledge about farming practices. The lunch was very tasty.
The best day out with the most amazing guide. Couldn’t have asked for a better person to show us round.
We had a wonderful day with May Sieu who showed us the wonderful nature of Sapa. Although we only took a hike of about 4h, we really had the impression we've seen all the beauty Sapa has to offer. In the beginning of our hike we walked in the forest for a short while which was really amazing. It was also very nice that she gave us the option for a more difficult walk with amazing views and a less difficult walk (but with less beautiful views). We chose for the first one which was really as wonderful as expected.
Our guide Mrs May Pham was incredible. We had an amazing trek through the villages, would highly recommend!
An amazing tour. Our tour guide Du was fantastic, a kind, wonderful woman who took the time to explain about her culture and answer any questions we had Du was definitely the highlight of our tour and made it really special, thank you so much
Chi was great! Very kind, lovely and funny! We can definetly recommend this Tour!
My wife and I went on this tour and there was another younger couple as well. We were met by our guide May Pham and commenced our walk accompanied by two Hmong women. May Pham explained the women were not part of the tour but made us aware they were following us and would at some stage ask us to buy some things which was at our discretion. The track was initially muddy in places and steep which is where one of the women took my hand in her strong grip and helped me negotiate the rocks. My wife especially appreciated the assistance. The Hmong villages were very interesting and the landscape exp
The tour was brilliant as we had an amazing tour guide May Phan she spoke very good English and was very knowledgeable. We had lots of rest stops and the food was good. Would definitely recommend and do it again.
We had a wonderful experience. Breathtaking scenery and our local guide May Pham was so lovely. Definitely one of the highlights of our Vietnam trip. We walked for about 3.5 hours but stopped a lot along the way to take photos and were going at a slow pace due to it being a bit wet and slippery in places. Yummy lunch included with vegetarian option. So happy we did this :-)
