It was perfect, we were picked up from our Sapa Hotel and dropped off at Noi Bai International Airport. We arrived early at the airport to checkin. Thank you so much, will definitely book again when I go back!

English speaking guide who’s on time. Giving us options of easy / difficult way at some sections of the trek. Very good views of the rice terraces, villages, animals and everything natural throughout. Flexibility to reduce the hiking distance (recommend to do a full one though). Chance to enter a traditional Hmong house to understand a bit more on their way of living.
We also did a 1 day fansipan summit hike and the experience is good too! Helpful guide who made us a hiking stick by chopping off some bamboos and helping to take photos and videos along the way as well.

My husband and I took the overnight sleeper bus to Sapa. We booked through Sapa Nomad using the G8 buses. The buses were clean and well maintained. Sapa Nomad was very accommodating helping us to arrange for our single friend to be on the same bus. Also, we had to change our reservation from a double bed to 2 single beds due to size (Not suitable for 2 Westerners) and Sapa Nomad helped us to change our booking. Their customer service was excellent ???????? Easy communication in English visa Whatsapp. We highly recommend this great company.⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Absolutely Flawless Sapa Experience Thanks to Martin!
Booking our Sapa trip through Martin at Sapa Nomad was the best decision we could have made. From the very via WhatsApp, his communication was clear, friendly, and incredibly helpful. He handled absolutely everything for us—from arranging a comfortable limousine bus from Hanoi to sapa Martin made the entire journey seamless and completely stress-free. It allowed us to simply immerse ourselves in the stunning landscapes of Sapa. If you want a perfectly organized, personalized, and genuinely caring service, look no further. Highly, highly recommended!

We had a wonderful trip with our tour guide Nay. We could choose the difficulty of the trail and chose the hard one. There we saw a lot of beautiful nature and got explained about different cultures and their every day life. The lunch we got was tea good and even though it was very hot weather, we had an amazing time! Thank you Nay.

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.

2. Terraced rice fields: Witness the majestic landscapes carved by local farmers.
3. Waterfalls and streams: Explore the tranquil beauty of Cat Cat, Ham Rong, and other waterfalls.

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! :D
