  We had such a fantastic day trekking to amazing villages. Sho was such a great communicator and when we had to change our plans last minute due to a foot injury she was incredibly helpful and organized a tour that was accommodating. Her sister was our tour guide and she was such a sweet lady, and made the day perfect.

  We hired Sho for a private 3 day 2 night trek. Having an intimate group was nice, compared to the larger tour groups we noticed. We stayed in Sho's home and met her family. Sho is lovely and generous and kind. Her English is good, so we learned alot about her tribe, culture and village life. She does her own hemp weaving, cloth dying, needlework and sewing. Her work is beautiful and she will show you the process. Highly recommended to reach out to Sho for a excursion outside of Sapa Town! Her prices are very reasonable as well and you know it's going straight to her family.

  Sho is the most amazing person ever. We are currently staying at her place and did the trekking today with her. She speaks good English and very friendly.

  Found Sho’s number on reddit and was able to book a 2D1N trip with her last minute. She showed us beautiful nature, shared her culture, and made us the most delicious dinner. Thanks so much Sho!

  We loved the 2 night 3 day trekking with Sua. She was such an amazing guide and invited us kindly into her family. The trails we took were very beautiful even though it was raining sometimes. 🌸 For the nights we stayed at her place and she cooked us plenty of delicious food. The veggies came straight from her garden. She also explained us a lot about the Hmong culture: beliefs, indigo making, education, tradition… If you want to immerse yourself in the local culture definitively do the trekking with Sua. She always made us feel safe, answered our questions with ease and was very spontaneous (for example we visited a fish farm, learned about herbs, because we showed interest)! 🐟 She‘s such a hardworking woman and so funny! She poured her whole heart into the trekking. Trekking in Sapa will be such a nice memory! 😊

  We had a wonderful experience with our trekking guide, Sho. We did a 3-day trek and stayed 2 nights at her home. She looked after us very well, both during the trek and at home. She was always kind, helpful, and especially supportive with our daughters, which we really appreciated. Staying at her house was a lovely part of the trip. Her whole family welcomed us warmly and made us feel at home. The food Sho cooked for us was delicious and made with care. On the last day, two of her children joined us for the final part of the trek, which make the experience even more special. Sho is a thoughtful and caring guide, and we’re very thankful for the time we shared with her and her family. An unforgettable experience! Highly recommended!

  We had a really great time with Sua. We did the hike to the top of the mountain, we got information about the environment and the people that lived there. Lunch was in a big room with all the other tourists which is nice to socialize and the food was tasty. We had good weather and the views were great. Sua is a very good guide, friendly, knowledgable and funny. We can definitely recommend booking a tour here!
