Has booked the 3N2D Homestay Trekking tour and it has been the best decision made! Mr. Hong has been very prompt with his reply and giving us tons of great information before the trip. Pick up was great! The Night Train was awesome and clean! What made the tour amazing was also our tour guide Ms. Pang Thao! She has been really amazing. Her knowledge on the cultures, plants, trees and many other has been so insightful! Highly recommended tour! Ashley –British

Took a 2 days tour via Trekking Sapa and we totally satisfied. Picked up and transfers were always on time and comfortable. Homestaying in Sapa is interesting. Luckily to have a friendly family to stay at. Food and drinks were weird but very delicious. The scenary was awesome. I miss Sapa already. JianDe-Singaporean

We had an amazing experience with Trekking Sapa, and with our most lovely, impressive guide , our young guide from the Black Hmong tribe. I cannot recommend TREKKING SAPA and the traditional homestay (2 days/1 night) highly enough! We did this trip with our teenagers, who agreed that this was a not-to-miss experience. Yao Hong Tan-Singapore

We spent a month in Vietnam. Of all the places and things we did, our tour with Trekking Sapa was the absolute best tour! Our experience was great for all the reasons that you'd want when traveling: helpful, open and timely communication, a good price, absolutely great tour guides, an enriching experience with wonderful scenery and marvelous social interactions, and I could go on. But what made the experience particularly great was the fact Trekking Sapa is a social enterprise with a social mission that has a positive impact. By going with Trekking Sapa, you are actually making a sustainable difference in the lives of those individuals that you are visiting as tourists. I love this! Soo Yin Loo -Malaysia

One of our favorite parts of the tour was speaking to our guide Sing. He was very open about speaking about her life and culture, and answered any questions we had. We then stayed a night in a homestay with a local family and other travelers. Here there was a great atmosphere as we had a big dinner together and sat around an open fire chatting. Overall it was a great experience and one I would greatly recommend. Andrew -United Kingdom

What can I say about Trekking Sapa is the best Everything was perfect ...The opportunity to do a Trek with a private guide Phinh. our guide was amazing ! A beautiful person ! And I have no words about the Trekking tour with Phinh you have to do it to realize how lucky you will be , you will see so many things. I will never forget my 2 days / 1 night Trek !! Thank you so much Trekking Sapa for everything ! Bradley Brochocki – United States

Sappa is a must. An Incomparable cultural experience with the added bonus of incredible views of the rice paddies. Our guide Mu was so fantastic, her English was incredible which meant that we were really able to discuss anything for example how tourism has made an impact to the area, we even discussed mortgages and house prices! As she was local she knew lots of people and was able to show us things that I can't imagine everyone gets to see, for example she took us into a traditional home where a family were preparing dinner with no electricity. We did the harder route which was quite slippery but was good fun! for October definitely rent wellies in Sapa town. They were surprisingly comfortable! Hong (from trekking Sapa.com) was amazing. After enquiring on the phone (through our hotel) within minutes he had sent a full itinerary and a payment link. Which was handy because I didn't often have access to wifi. He walked us onto the right coach in Hanoi and even lent us umbrellas for the short walk to the train which was a nice touch. We had some problems with the train due to a landslide but Hong called ahead to warn us and explain everything. Being well informed made us feel safe, a luxury I don't think everyone got. We bumped into to people who had no idea about the landslide and how it was going to affect their journey and people that had tried to go to Sappa and do it all themselves. I imagine they paid a bit less than us but I felt they were going to miss out on so much. In fact they had already had to fork out lots of money on buying equipment because they didn't have a guide to tell them they could rent it for just £1 or £2. I would 100% recommend this company for your Sapa trek! Ms.Hannah Bosley-United Kingdom -07568331562

On our recent trip to SaPa I had booked a 2 days trek with TrekkingSapa. Phinh our guide for the day came and met us at our hotel. Phinh was such a great guide. She spoke excellent english and told us a lot about local customs. She was kind and caring and had a great sense of humor. She took us on a trek through small villages, up and down mountains where we could get a sense about daily life. We had breathtaking views, and met several children along the way that were so happy to receive the small lollypops I had bought in Sapa the day before. I cannot reccommend TrekkingSapa and especially Phinh highly enough. It really was a great day. Ms.Victoria Nixon – Canada

We did a 2 day 1 night trek with TrekkingSapa who arranged for Phinh, a local lady from the Hmong tribe to be our tour guide and it was at Phinhs house that we stayed for the night. I cannot speak highly enough of Phinh who spoke fantastic English and looked after us so well. She made us feel so relaxed and made us laugh from start to finish. We felt we really had an insight in to Phinhs life at the end having stopped at her uncles for lunch on the trek, meeting Phinhs husband and children at her home and meeting her brother and sister who chatted and drank rice wine with us in the evening. What a lovely family. Michael & Lynne McKenzie

We are 6 persons from Malaysia, we just spent 2 days in our holiday in Vietnam with Sinh to get immersed in his culture, way of living. It was an amazing experience, Sinh is full of energy and can talk for ever about the culture, he is so proud to be a black hmong. We were impressed by him. The experience was truly eye opening for our group and definitively they don't see the world the same way after having shared those precious moments with the local house. We saw beautiful landscapes also but we will really cherrish the moments spent with Sinh. Those 2 days were a bubble of authenticity that we truly recommend. The way TrekkingSapa supports the Black Hmong community is very respectful and we were really grateful to have met them. Ms.Yen Nee Go – Malaysia

This is definitely the highlight of my solo trip to Vietnam. I was feeling a little apprehensive about my trip to Sapa as it was my first solo trip. Hong and My were so responsive and detailed in answering all my queries about my trip to Sapa. They gave great recommendations on which tour to go for and were extremely helpful in booking my overnight train tickets to arranging pick up. Ms.Catia Silva –Portugal

We just spent 2 days 1 night on a homestay experience with My our host. She was our guide and we stayed the night at her home with her two sons and husband. My taught us alot about her culture, her food and how they live today. She is a beautiful person and just a joy to be around! We loved every minute of our time with her and her family.We had such an incredible night at her home, cooking and drinking some of her home-made rice wine. Mrs.Gruber – France

We (a group of 6 recent college grads) did the H'Mong homestay trek after a friend recommended the company. The trip was incredible--we learned a lot from our guide about the H'mong culture, saw breathtaking views of mountains shaped by rice terraces, and got to spend the night with an incredibly welcoming family. The trek was long but not strenuous. Experiences like this one are the real reason to get out and see the world. Cyrielle- France

We really recommend this organization! We had a wonderful guide and guiding trainee,Mr Dong– our tour guide (whose English was fantastic!) and Mr Hong at TrekkingSapa, who both made our experience unforgettable. Both were extremely friendly and helpful. The homestay really allowed us to look into the lives of the black Hmong, which was incredibly interesting! In the middle of nature surrounded by animals, drinking rice wine and enjoying a delicious dinner. It was perfect. Thank you MrDong and Mr Hong! Dong, you are so nice and will be a wonderful guide in future - good luck improving your English. You are a fast learner. Gangal - India

TrekkingSapa.com is a truely involved initiative that works exclusively with and for local ethnies. We spent a wonderfully rich 2 days 1 night with Pang in her family villages (Black Hmong). It can be hot during the trek! Still cold at night though but you are furnished with warm blankets and the evening is spent around the fireplace. Our encounter with Pang was so humanly rich and strongly true. She speaks english very well and is very funny and sharing. Thank you so much again to you, Mr Hong from TrekkingSapa.com, Pang and her family too!

I travelled with quite a large group of friends and Hong made it all so easy. Whole trip from pick up to drop off was seamless. We loved our guide and the beautiful scenery of Sapa. We did the 1 night homestay and really enjoyed meeting new people and eating with the family, was a great and easy experience. Would recommend!!

We are so glad decided to go up to Sapa to see how the Hmong tribes live and to trek through their villages in the rice paddy fields in the spectacular valleys of the area, the people are friendly and a have a reasonably good command of English although they do pester you to buy their wares so be careful you are not "taken in" by their friendliness, they claim the souvenirs they are selling are handmade but in actual fact most of it comes from over the border in China factories. Eating out is not a problem, there are some good restaurants to be had at reasonable prices with an array of different cuisines. We had a wonderful guide that I could recommend,it was also great to get away to take in the fresh air after the pollution in Hanoi, well worth the trip in the overnight train!!

You'll definitely need a guide to bring you around trekking in Sapa. I booked a private tour and I had the ease of going at my own pace with just my guide. It's more pricey but you wouldn't have to wait for others or worry about catching up with the rest of the group. I was lucky to be there during good weather and the weather and view was perfect! Trekking shoes are a must as I wore my trainers and they are so not helpful in mud and slippery slopes. I loved the homestay with the ethnic minority family. Definitely a must to try once. The trek routes vary and if you're young and fit-ish you'll be treated to the harder terrains as the guide will gleefully try to make you suffer

We booked with Mr Hong at TrekkingSapa.com last Month. They offer good service, we stayed in a nice hotel in town. Our cabin on the train is private so we didn’t have to share with other people. Sapa is a beautiful highland just like a temperate country. Unfortunately we went on tour this season because according to the tour guide and the local people, there could be snow in January.

we have just returned from trekking in sapa. Our guide Dong showed us around 6 different hill tribes around sapa. We were lucky enough to enjoy a homestay for three nights. It was a wonderful experience. all day you walk around rice fields with brilliant views. during the late afternoon you arrive a the homestay were you meet the family which you will be staying with for the night. The food in sapa is really great you cannot stop eating. we really want to thank dong again for the great experience!

We had a great time in Sa Pa. The highlight was our trek arranged through TrekkingSapa.com. Our tour was based on what we wanted to do and see - very personalised. Our guide Dong had excellent English. Mr Hong and Dong are remarkable people in the way they help and support the local tribes. Ms.Nadine - UK

We had an absolute amazing trip with TrekkingSapa.com, even better as expected. From the first contact until end of the trip the owners took really good care of our needs. They organized the transport from Lao Cai to Sapa for us and we met them personally in a nice café – who needs a loveless office? After a short instruction we started our remarkable hiking adventure together with our Black H’Mong guide. She was very open and enjoyed to tell about her interesting culture. During the trip she introduced us to many members of her family, we felt very welcome all the time. In addition, we were able to enjoy her cooking skills. The track were definitely far away from the standard routes in Sapa, we didn’t saw any other tourist for almost the complete time. On top there is to say that you don’t give your money to a profit orientated organization, TrekkingSapa.com endeavors to give something back by supporting the local tribes. Ms.Kacy - US

Thanks to the helpful reviews on TripAdvisor, I confidentially booked through trekkingsapa.com for a tour to Sapa, a place I’ve never been to before. I thought to myself that the trekking tour to highland Sapa in Vietnam would be an adventurous one. But it turned out to be so different. We had taxi and bus transports between the areas and just only walked when we arrived at some area. This is quite an amazing place in a hot country like Vietnam. The air is cold with lots of impressive sights. Never in my life have I seen so many paddy fields from the feet to the top of mountains in Sapa. Going up and downhill, another breathtaking scene appears after every turn. The most amazing thing I’d love to recommend here is the spicy grilled food. Meat of all kind put on skewers for your choice. They also have grilled eggs but I don’t like it. It costs me only 200,000 VND (around $10) for 20 skewers of meat. My friend Jason and I had a great dinner in the breezy market with meat skewers and rice in bamboo along with local wine. If you visit Vietnam, you shouldn’t miss Sapa. And if you make a trekking tour on Sapa, you shouldn’t miss Sapa’s meat skewers, heh heh heh.

I had never done a trekking trip before but when a trip to Sapa was planned from college I happily agreed to be a part of it. We were in a group of 26 students with two professors, in all we were 28 and yes, on the way we were 29 including our funny tour guide. He was a amazing person. A smile played on his face all the time. Don’t how he manages to remember so many funny jokes and stories. We kept laughing nonstop. Trekking never felt tiring. Trekkingsapa Tour Company must be appreciated for their nice services. We clicked hundreds of photos, that included our group photos, mountains, terraced farming lands, beautiful views and some individual picture local people also. Highly recommended tour.

[caption id="attachment_7116" align="alignnone" width="1024"] Tourists relax and relax, learn and explore the indigenous culture of Sapa people[/caption] We have just returned from trekking with TrekkingSapa. She took us on a beautiful walk up into the hills, where we stayed with her family, and had a once in a lifetime experience. Pang was easy to communicate with while we were planning (very prompt with returning emails), welcomed us warmly at the train station and then took us on an amazing trek through the most beautiful scenery to stay with her family. It was a real privilege to get a glimpse into Pang's family's life. We were treated with honour and warmth. If you want to experience the reality of hill tribe life, I heartily recommend you take the option of staying with Pang’s family. I was totally out of my comfort zone, but soooooooooo pleased that I went. This was my highlight of Vietnam!

Wow, just got back from two weeks in Vietnam. The whole trip was awesome. My favorite part was trekking in the mountains near Sapa. That was just off the scale. We just winged it until we got to Sapa, then booked the trekking with Mr.Hong from a company called Trekking Sapa, in town. They were so great! Meeting with the local people was really special and our guide was simply perfect. Thanks Trekking Sapa, you guys rock!

My two adult daughters and I had a wonderful experience trekking through the terraced rice paddy fields of Sapa in April 2015. We booked the Sapa Homestay Adventure 3 Nights / 2 Days Tour with Mr Hong from TrekkingSapa.com. I booked this tour with Mr Hong months before our trip. It was a pleasure dealing with Hong as our dates changed several times and I had numerous questions. Hong answered every email promptly and courteously. He arranged a private tour for just the three of us and took care of every minute detail. He accommodated our special requests and allayed any concerns. I would highly recommend TrekkingSapa.com and his tours to anyone visiting Sapa. We would not hesitate to work with him again should we return to Vietnam. It is a beautiful country and everyone made us feel very welcome and relaxed.”

I stumbled onto TrekkingSapa.com when another tour company canceled on me ...and so glad I did. It's a bit more expensive -- but I really felt that I received extraordinary value. I did a two-days trek with a homestay, followed by a trip to the valley. My guide Mrs Pang was incredibly informative and also incredibly attentive to my needs. I was a bit nervous about doing the homestay -- but the homestay family all made me feel very welcome and comfortable. All the logistics with the company went incredibly smoothly -- with everyone being where they said they would be when they said they would. Ms. Shara

We did a 2 days trek with TrekkingSapa.com and were really impressed, because the trip turned out to be exactly as we hoped it would be. The English skills of our guide were most impressive considering the fact, that she learned most of it through other travellers and by speaking only. The route was scenic and off the tourist trek (Ta Van village) and you can be sure the money stays in the region and not in the pocket of a dodgy tour operator. Highly recommend!” Christopher

My wife and I did a 2D1N trek in Sapa with TrekkingSapa.com and it was nothing short of spectacular. We were met at the train in Lao Cai and driven to Sapa to begin our journey. It was great and felt like dinner at my own house with good food and joking and smiles and wine. There is a western toilet and shower. They will offer to wash anything in case you need. Overall this was just spectacular. It is a homestay, so you are "roughing it". But our tour guide Mrs Pang and the family are amazing and always have a smile. The homestay was warm, cozy and supposedly the best place to stay in the area according to another group

We had a wonderful time in our Sapa tour with TrekkingSapa.com. We got off of the train at 6am in the morning and met our tour guide Mrs Pang at the gate of station.She is a friendly guide from TrekkingSapa.com. We were 5 people, we slept 2 nights at 02 homestay in the valley. The family cooked for us 3 meals a day. We all recommend you to stay 2 nights (at least) to get the best experience.Our tour guide is really good in English.It made the trip even more interesting because we were able to communicate easily and exchange about our culture. We really felt like we had the BEST TREKKING TOUR with TrekkingSapa.com ! i will always remember my wonderful experience.!”

Hi Thu, We had a lovely trip; everything was perfect to me. I would score 9-10 for all the attributes. Thank you very much for your prompt response and the rest of all. I really enjoy the time there and the tour package. The homestay was very good and the people were lovely, too. So thank you for the happy memories! Kind regards Aoife

Trekkingsapa arranged us Sapa trip and this was one of the big highlights of our long trip! Communication and organization were excellent. We arrived in Sapa from Hanoi by night train and were picked up from the station. Our guide was really friendly and helpful and had very good English. The day trips were nice, lots of rice fields to discover and the mountain views are great. We did a home stay through this organization as well and that was maybe the most memorable part of our holiday. The food that the tribal family prepared was extremely delicious, the herbal bath was fun and relaxing and our beds super comfortable. All in all, I can very much recommend Trekkingsapa Company!

Thank you trekkingsapa offer me a great tour and grear homestay! I went on the Red Dzao homestay recently and had a blast. Friendly family, the rice wine was flowing steadily, and the scenery was just stunning. This organization is really earnest in their desire to improve the lives of the ethnic minorities in the north and their commitment to quality shows in both their trekking and their social work.

I returned from my recent holiday with a completely different understanding of Vietnam. I had no idea that the country was so beautiful, so varied and so exciting. The idea of staying in an ethnic hill tribe village, with people who still live a life, unchanged for centuries, really appealed to me. I am so glad I experienced it. It was a truly wonderful thing to see and do. Going back to my job in the city, was more than a little strange and I as I sat on the morning commuter train, it felt more than a little odd, to be back home. The group I was with were a mixed bunch and everyone got on really well. We visited the villages of Ta Van and Giang Ta Chai; the women here wore incredibly beautiful, traditional dresses. The family we stayed with were so sweet and cooked us a lovely evening meal. They sat and sang songs afterwords, I wish I could have joined in, but singing is not my strong point. I do though, have photographs that I will cherish forever. This holiday could well have changed me. I strongly recommend it to anyone.

We organised a 2 days 3 nights trek through the valley at the TrekkingSapa.com. Our guide Ms Pang was fantastic - she lives in the valley and had heaps of knowledge and stories to share with us. The walk through the valley villages was spectacular - being amongst the endless rice paddies and local life was incredible. The tour included a homemade lunch in one of the villages (the spring rolls were the best we had in all of vietnam!). Staying at homestay was fantastic. The local people were friendly. It was the most amazing experience - we all bonded over the shared giggles at each of our slips and slides through the mud, and when we reached the end we all felt a great sense of accomplishment.Extremely beautiful when the terrace rice field turned golden! We highly recommend Trekking Sapa to every one.

I and my son have booked the Sapa Tour with a guide from Trekkingsapa Company and it was a great experience. Our guide was fun and carried a really cute baby. You really learn things about the local community and go to places that you would probably not find on your own. We chose a 2days tour and staying at homestay. The homestay was comfortable, the local people was really friendly. We enjoyed our wonderful trip in Sapa to much. We would recommend Trekking Sapa tour to everyone. Thanks Gary

The contact with Mr Hong has been perfect and without any hick-ups from the beginning. He worked out a very tempting programme for us. I would highly recommend TrekkingSapa.com to anyone who is looking for reliability and quality of service in Vietnam!! Thank you again Mr Hong!!
