“Excellent tour, best part of Sapa”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed December 21, 2012

We really wanted to do a tour with the local Hmong women around Sapa and they did not disappoint. Lang, our tour guide, spoke perfect English and was very enlightening about the culture of the Hmong people. The trekking was fantastic and so were the sites. Thanks!

“Great trekking experience!”

We asked for a moderate non-tourist route and that is what Mao gave us. Well, maybe not moderate to us but we definitely didn't see any other tourists until lunch! We visited several villages up on the mountain and luckily Mao suggested that her Uncle/Aunt made us some bamboo sticks for the trek down - and it was very lucky we did. It was a strenuous trek down - muddy and very slippery. At least it was for us - Mao seem to breeze down with her baby Son on her back! Mao was very informative about the way of life of the Hmong people and the different tribes in Sapa. It was great to meet her family who were very welcoming. The only negative point I would say is that most tourist tours stop for lunch at the same restaurant therefore losing that 'local' feel. We got there late so wasn't so much of an issue but would have been nice to keep that unique local experience a while longer.
Thanks Lotussia Travel so much
