"wonderful tour!"
De La Baie d’Halong aux Temples d’Angkor , December 2012
Reviewed On: May 08, 2019"What is so beautiful about Bac Ha Market?" - that's my first thought before the trip "Sapa Bac Ha Market". After 3 nights and 2 days of amazingly wonderful tour where we got to the inner heart of this hill, met Black Hmong tribe and enjoyed tasty meals, I understand why this place is famous. The experience could not be this memorable without the helpful tour guides from TrekkingSapa.com. They made everything easy for us to join in. The stay, the activities, the gifts - all are awesome. I'm surely be back with you guys in the future.
"So confident with this tour!"
De La Baie d’Halong aux Temples d’Angkor , December 2012
Reviewed On: Apr 03, 2019With all the excellent ratings and positive reviews on Tripadvisor, we have no doubt booking with Mr Hong from TrekkingSapa company a 3 day tour Sapa and Bac Ha Market. Mr Hong and the tour guide was helpful and comforted us because the traveling by train in Vietnam may be a little bit rough. However they organized the tour that we picked up the night train so everything was peaceful and quiet. We just slept so tight. On the next day morning, we picked up at train at Lao Cai station and transfer to Sapa. The train was crowded with people but we had a private cabin and Mr.Dong the tour guide alongside so we felt comfortable watching the lovely mountains and village houses in the highlands. When we got to Sapa, Bac Ha market was the place we were impressed the most, maybe that’s why they used it to name the tour. Local people trading with each other, it could be money or anything they had to trade with the others. We just walked pass them and seeing those beautiful handicrafts and goods. There were some carpet sellers asking us to buy their carpets but the tour guide helped us to get rid of them as we said to him we didn’t want that. There’s one great story that you don’t have to worry about eating in this place, grilled meat, rice in the bamboos, etc. they are so awesome, delicious and extremely cheap! I can’t make sure of that because I had no stomachache or similar problems after eating those. Lovely tour guide, lots of sweet memories, good food, fresh and cold weather, friendly local people. We just can’t get enough of this tour! Will be back here next year!
"The fascinating Markets of Sapa"
De La Baie d’Halong aux Temples d’Angkor , December 2012
Reviewed On: Apr 10, 2019I recent got to combine two of my favourite activities, trekking and visiting markets; how could I possibly refuse? Sapa in North Western Vietnam is fast becoming recognised as one of the best centres for trekking holidays in the whole of Southeast Asia. I was really looking forward to Sapa, and I have to say it exceeded all expectations. I booked market tour with Asia Tour Advisor and they were great from start to finish. I conversed through email with the tour company and they recommended the tour. I was collected from my hotel in Hanoi and caught the overnight train to Sapa. Everything went smoothly as I was met at the station and taken to my hotel. After breakfast we set out to go to the first market, the scenery is astonishingly beautiful as we wound through the hillsides. The market was simply lovely, the ethnic hill people who run it are fascinating. They trade everything from food to clothes to buffalo. After the market we went to see the people in their villages. It really was just what I had hope for. A great trip that has left me with lasting memories and some wonderful photographs.
"An Amazing Experience, I’ll never forget it"
De La Baie d’Halong aux Temples d’Angkor , December 2012
Reviewed On: Apr 09, 2019Visiting the ethnic people in Sapa was like taking part in a National Geographic film. That these amazing people have managed to hang on to their identity is terrific, that I was lucky enough to witness it, more so. I even enjoyed the market and I am not a market person, at all. The trekking was not to strenuous, the food was great, as was the hotel. This was a wonderful experience for start to end. The guides are excellent as well, they truly are proud of their country. I would recommend this type of tour to anyone.
"Market Sapa tour"
De La Baie d’Halong aux Temples d’Angkor , December 2012
Reviewed On: May 16, 2019I went on two treks with trekkingsapa.com and one market tour. One trek was with my son last year, and on the other trek our whole family came. Pang our guide was fantastic. The countryside is stunning - straight out Tolkien - the pace was leisurely and each trip was a treat. Pang's English was perfect, and her knowledge extensive. Trekkingsapa.com has the best trained guides! They really put in the effort to ensure that everything goes smoothly. So if you are in Sapa - a trek with trekkingsapa is not to be missed. On another trip I went on a visit to Bac Ha market with Dong. I came in on the train on the previous day and Dong picked me up in Lao Cai which shortened the trip to Bac Ha. Bac Ha market is so colorful. Yes there is a tourist aspect to the market but it is also a strongly local market selling everything from scythes to buffalo. Dong also was an excellent guide. Warm and funny and gently guided us without bossing us around. We saw everything from the buffalo market to the Paris end of the market where Hmong women were shopping for the perfect pattern. The tourists were just as entertaining as the locals. It was hot though and I regretted not having taken my hat with me and my sunburn cream. Then we visited a Flower Hmong village - and tasted rice wine straight from a still. If I had one word for my experience of the day it would be 'gracious'. We felt in safe hospitable hands with them, Pang & Dong and trekkingsapa, too.

Reviewed On: Mar 18, 2015We have booked tour “Sapa Bac Ha Market in 4 days” with Trekking sapa Tours. We can't say enough good things about our 4 days of sapa trekking with Pang. Her quick wit and great English speaking skills made our 4 days of trekking in Sapa a blast. We spent the first day trekking around Sapa and despite the pouring rain (& our lack of appropriate attire) Pang kept our spirits high and helped outfit us with the necessary rain gear. She also helped customize our 2nd day of trekking by suggesting a longer/less touristy trek (which is what we were looking for) to her home village. It was fun getting off the typical tourist route and checking out where Pang is from. Day 3's journey to Bac Ha Market was great and Pang was as informative as ever! We were satisfied with services in Sapa Tour. Best regards, Michael
"Excellent Tour"
De La Baie d’Halong aux Temples d’Angkor , December 2012
Reviewed On: Apr 13, 2015My sister and I had booked the Bac Ha market trek tour with TrekkingSapa Company to get a local guide to show us the market as well as inform us of local history and customs. Our guide, showed us courtesy and was especially mindful that we take care with traffic or navigating through the crowds. She was highly informative with also being fun and lively to joke and talk with. She added extra special customer service by accommodating our individual need to be dropped off at the Lao Cai train station. And she gave us her own personal insight into the traditions and cultural history of her own tribe in addition to the other tribes of the region. Excellent experience and we felt even more rewarded that we were contributing to a local company using local members of the community. Big thumbs up! Best regards, Peter
