Excellent 3 day Sapa trekking with Mu who will tailor treks to suit anyone
Overall we had an excellent trip. What really makes any trip is the quality of the guide and ours, Mu from the Black Hmong Tribe, was excellent. There were just the two us on the tour so she tailored the trip to what we wanted and were interested in and went at a pace that suited us which enabled us to take all the photos we wanted. Mu’s English was very good and spoken without an accent (she learnt by following tours and picked it up all by herself). She told us about how the village people live, what animals they keep and what plants they grow and often pointed out things of interest. The sleeper train was as expected and at the homestays we had meals together with the other guests, which provided a social atmosphere to find out about their travels. The first homestay was high up in the hills (1,600m) where it was a bit chilly at night but the blankets provided kept us warm (March) but the second one right down in the valley was warmer. It was good trekking to the homestays

An Outstanding planning and logistics endeavour
I chose Zonitrip based on reviews. True enough those reviews didn’t lie. We, seven of us were met at airport, transferred and checked in to Hanoi hotel, had a day city tour, sent to train station bound for Lao Cai, met at Lao Cai and transferred to Sapa. Checked in to Sapa hotel, went for trekking Fansipan, had a day of motorbike tour to Hmong & other hill tribes villages around Sapa, sent back to train Lao Cai station, met by rep very early in the morning, had local street breakfast, checked in to hotel, fetch to airport for departure. In our 5D4N trip we met various staff and representatives at each point of the itinerary but I have yet to meet Nghia. We contact only via email and Messenger. I hope to meet her sometime in the future. The execution of the itineraries was impeccable. I would strongly recommend her to the world.
Trekking and home stays from Sa Pa
We hoped to experience a little of the life of the people who live and work in the mountains and were not disappointed. Our guide, Ti, is from the Black H’Mông ethnic minority and she spoke good English (self taught). She was a wealth of knowledge about local culture, rural farming life and the natural environment. She led us on a three day trek through villages and amazing rice terraces, at times challenging due to steep slopes and rough terrain. We stayed one night in her home and the second night in another home stay and ate wonderful food with both families. Hot showers too. Highly recommend taking the soft sleeper berths on the overnight train between Hanoi and Lao Cai. A welcome shower is provided in Sa Pa before and after the trek. If your boots are muddy at the end of your trek (as ours were), it’s well worth having them cleaned by the efficient street service near Lao Cai station. In all, a wonderful experience.
” Sapa Hing Tours from Hanoi”
I could not thank Nghĩa enough for making our Sapa Hiking trip is one of the most memorable experiences. My mum and I decided we wanted to do a trek in Sapa and we could not have been more lucky to come across Zonitrips website. Throughout the 4 days Nghĩa provided a real life taste of living among the locals, with great home stays, amazing food and unforgettable views. This incredible experience was only complimented by Nghĩa’s warm, friendly and considerate nature, and I feel lucky to now be able to call her a friend. I would 100% recommend anyone to take a trip with Zonitrip, you
will definitely not regret it, making memories that will last a lifetime!
