Sapa one day unforgettable trekking tour
I have an unforgettable ONE PERSON private tour in which everything was cater to and adapt to my own pace. I was even given the choice of choosing the easy pave path or the difficult mountain path to the ascent to the top. Mrs. Nay is fantastic and incredibly knowledgeable guide. She answered all my random questions about Sapa, the local lives/their farms/harvests, and most importantly the difference between all the local ethnic minorities, their languages, cultures and fashions. The tour hit every checks on the list from stunning scenic views to local highest village, terrance rice field, bamboo forest, dirt road short cut thru the field sometimes with no other trekking groups in sight. Transportation from and to the hotel was provided along with a local lunch. Sapa Nomad was responsive thru WhatsApp if I ever need anything as well leaving reminder/instructions a day ahead of the tour. I cannot recommend this tour and Mrs. Nay enough. I will do it again if I have a day in Sapa.

Amazing Sapa
At the beginning, it was a bit confusing to decide whether to travel to Sapa by sleeper bus or by train with a private limousine. Eventually, we chose the sleeper bus, as I wanted to give my family that unique experience.
We booked through Sapa Nomad after reading many amazing reviews about the website. Sao Viet Sleeper Bus, one of their services, stood out as one of the best. The bus comes equipped with a toilet, which was incredibly convenient since we were traveling with our parents, who might need to use the restroom during the journey.
The booking process was super easy and very accommodating. Martin was the star of the whole experience! He took care of everything we needed, checking in on us until we reached Sapa and even on our return trip. He speaks fluent English, which made communication effortless, and he helped us with all the small details and recommendations during our stay in Sapa.
Thank you, Martin, for your amazing customer service it was truly appreciated. You’re a real asset to the company!

Nay, our guide was knowledgeable and kind. She was patient as we took the scenic route that was very muddy and slippery, but so worth the views! We enjoyed our 1 day trek and would recommend to others!

Recently traveled on a sleeper bus sao viet and was impressed by how comfortable and convenient it was. The reclining beds were clean and cozy, complete with blankets and privacy curtains. The bus offered modern amenities like Wi-Fi, USB ports, and air conditioning, making the journey even more pleasant. The staff were friendly and professional, and the ride was smooth and punctual. It’s a great option for long-distance travel—affordable, restful, and efficient.

Such an amazing experience. Our guide Nhu was fantastic guiding us through the valley. Sapa Nomad was easy to work with and I was able to communicate with them at all times and get updates when necessary. No worries at all when booking with them.

Travelling as a group of 4 friends, we booked this tour via the Sapa Nomad. Owing to the recent typhoon, there was some apprehension but fast response via their WhatsApp proved such fears to be unfounded. After payment, Ms Ha provided the confirmation very quickly.
On the day itself, we were blessed with good weather. Our guide Nhu, met us at our Hotel promptly at 830am. Her English was very good, and she was both knowledgeable and approachable, allowing us to have a very educational experience of the way of life in the villages around Sapa. During the tour, she also tailored the tour to our pace, and ensured that we were able to safely navigate the route. Lunch itself was delicious especially after quite a workout!
Do note that we were accompanied by a small group of locals who also helped us during our trek. We bought local handicrafts from them after they had to part about halfway during the tour.
Pretty much a perfect tour for those that wish to see a more ‘authentic’ Sapa, and are not afraid of putting in a little effort trekking.

If you visit Sapa, trekking is one of the highly recommended activities. The views are astonishing, and the guide is very helpful throughout the journey

We had an amazing tour with our guide even though the weather was a bit rainy and foggy. So we unfortunately missed the scenic view, but we still enjoyed the adventurous hike. During our 11km hike our guide did a great job and explained culture, people, animals and nature. She was super nice and answered every question and made this day unforgettable.
Beside we contacted Sapa Nomad due to another issue and we were helped out super quickly. The contact was very nice and offered us flexible solutions and taking care of us.
If I get back to Sapa I would definitely book my trips and adventure via Sapa Nomad!

Our Tour was truly amazing! While hiking our Guide told us alot about the Locals Lifestyle. It felt like we got soaked into another world.
We got asked if we wanna go offroad or not. If you can you should definitely do that, because she‘ll lead you to places with an incredible View and No other tourists in sight.
All in all it was an unforgettable experience and I would recommend it to anyone visiting Sapa! 😀
