Hi Dears! Have a nice day! I am Ha, a Travel Consultant & Tour Operator of YESD. I am grateful for the opportunity to work at Yesd and contribute to the company’s sustainable tourism development.

Hi, I’m Chi from the Marketing Partnership team at YESD. My work gives me many opportunities to travel here and there and meet many different people from various ethnic minority groups. More than that, through every project we have done, I hope we can somehow improve local people’s daily lives and inspire more children to go to school for a better future.
I’m Chi, a local guide in Sapa. I only finished my secondary school and learnt English from tourists when I followed them to sell my mom’s embroidery bracelets. I have worked as a guide for 10 years, mostly in Sapa. Thanks to the job, I earnt some and saved a bit for my small family with two daughters. Many of the local youth could not afford to go to colleges, so tour guiding is our main job and an important source of our income. Thanks for travelling with YESD and choosing Sapa as your destination.
Hello, my name is Su. I am a local Black Hmong tour and trekking guide from Lao Chai Village in Sapa, Lao Cai Province, Vietnam. I can be your companion in single and multi day trekking tours to the rice terraces and remote ethnic villages surrounding Sapa.
Hello, my name is Ying. I am a local guide, and I love working with YESD. This job has been a wonderful opportunity that helps support my family.
During the COVID-19 pandemic, life was very difficult, and I am truly grateful that YESD welcomed me back to work once tourism reopened. It has made a big difference in my life and has helped me support my family again.
Thank you, YESD, for giving me this opportunity. I am proud to be part of the team and can’t wait to be your guide and share my culture and beautiful homeland with you.
Real stories from travelers who explored Sapa and Ha Giang with YESD through local guides, flexible planning, and responsible travel experiences.
For our trip to Vietnam, we organized two tours with YESD Travel, and we honestly couldn’t have been happier with the experience. We did a 3-day trek in Sapa and a 1-day trek plus a one-day Ha Giang Loop, and everything was wonderful.
All our guides were fantastic, knowledgeable, kind and full of interesting insights about local culture and the places we visited. From an organizational point of view everything was excellent too. During our stay, there were heavy rains, but thanks to Chi who stayed in close contact with us via WhatsApp, we were able to rearrange our tours flexibly and smoothly, even at the last minute.
A heartfelt thank-you for making our trip to Vietnam even more special ❤️.
We chose 2N 2D trekking in Sapa and 4N 4D in Ha Giang. Highly recommended. Chi was our Sapa expert and took us on a challenging trek. The reward was a dip in a waterfall plunge pool. We had it all to ourselves as we left earlier than other tour groups.
Hangh and Ti were our easy rider guides for Ha Giang and, like Chi, they were brilliant. Their driving was safe and we always felt secure. They explained ethnic lifestyles and took us to remote and fascinating places. Hangh even provided music by playing the bamboo flute! They were informative, friendly and fun.
Yes D were easy to communicate with and provide a great service.
