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.
