Ya Ya & Timothy are the sweetest <3 highlight of our trip.
Timothy Sapa Trekking Homestay的点评
点评：YaYa and her husband Timothy are the sweetest guides you can possibly imagine.
We took a chance on her polite hustle after arriving in Sapa at 5am on the sleeper bus from Hanoi. In a very kind unassuming way, she asked us of our plans and if we wanted to go on a trek to Tà Van village.
Despite only meeting her for a couple of sleep deprived minutes, we felt very quickly that we could trust her. She gave us her WhatsApp and we agreed to a little plan. Her English is pretty good and she answered all our naive questions before we committed to the trek.
Unfortunately we couldn’t take up her offer of a full homestay overnight in her hometown Hmong village. But the Rice field valley trek was doable in 4 hours with the option to extend or cut short whenever we needed. She asked for $35 which also included lunch and a 30min scooter ride back to Sapa. Much cheaper than any hotel package. She met us at 9am and we walked from Sapa through incredible view after incredible view. Bamboo ravines, stunning rice fields, roaming buffalo. We were joined on our trek by another couple of lovely Hmong ladies. A 54 year old tiny legend carrying a heavy basket…and another younger mom and her baby. It has rained heavily the morning we arrived so the paths were quite slippy and muddy, which to be honest only actually added to the fun. We had such a laugh with the three of them…we knew we would likely be expected to buy a few local souvenirs off them, but it felt only fair after they helped us keep our balance and navigate some of the paths. We were travelling in mid October, and Sapa is a bit cooler than Hanoi. 17c-20c and quite a misty rainy place. I would advise doing it in trainers, grippy walking sandals or wellies (bought from town). If it has rained you WILL get your feet very muddy.
There’s no real way of avoiding it. But like I said, just give into it and you’ll have a really funny time. Saw a few tourists slip on their arse. Everyone was laughing. Don’t be precious and you’ll have the best time. It was the highlight of our whole holiday.
The scenery is on another level. There were other trekking parties en route, so we didn’t feel isolated or unsure of our route at any point.
The lunch stop was lovely, beautiful crispy fried rice and afterwards YaYa took us to a local centre where we saw the indigo plant fabric dying process and corn and rice milling. Also had a little go on a Hmong flute.
Her husband and his friend picked us up about 3pm from Tà Van village and took us directly back to the hotel.
They are so warm and accommodating. We had a morning free the following day so we asked YaYa if her husband Timothy could take us to see the Love and Silver Waterfalls. For $30 him and his brother gave us motorbike backies up the mountain to see them, stopping at various view points and walking up paths to get a better view. The whole thing took about 2 hours.
We felt totally safe and relaxed with them driving. Anyone who’s travelled in Vietnam will know the roads are quite chaotic, but I could tell they were taking extra care and going slower than usual to make us feel safe.
Honestly, don’t even hesitate booking or getting in touch with YaYa. She totally made our trip to Sapa worth it. Really enjoyed talking to both of them during our time together. They’re very thoughtful with sharing local knowledge and also naturally curious and funny in conversation. We felt very relaxed and totally at ease the whole time.
Easiest 5 stars I’ve ever given. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
P.S. She also wears the coolest outfits. Wish she could be our personal stylist.

翻译：YaYa 和她的丈夫 Timothy 是你想象中最贴心的导游。
我们乘坐河内卧铺大巴于凌晨 5 点抵达沙巴，然后就冒险尝试了她礼貌周到的服务。她以一种非常友好、谦逊的方式询问我们的计划，问我们是否想去 Tà Van 村徒步旅行。
尽管我们只和她见了几分钟，而且睡眠不足，但我们很快就觉得可以信任她。她给了我们 WhatsApp，我们同意了一个小计划。她的英语很好，在我们决定徒步旅行之前，她回答了我们所有幼稚的问题。
不幸的是，我们无法接受她在家乡苗族村庄提供全程寄宿家庭过夜的提议。但稻田山谷徒步旅行可以在 4 小时内完成，我们可以随时延长或缩短行程。她要价 35 美元，其中还包括午餐和 30 分钟的摩托车返回沙巴。比任何酒店套餐都便宜得多。她于上午 9 点与我们会面，我们从沙巴出发，沿途欣赏了令人叹为观止的美景。竹林峡谷、壮丽的稻田、漫步的水牛。另一对可爱的苗族女士也加入了我们的行列。一位 54 岁的小传奇人物背着沉重的篮子……还有另一位年轻的妈妈和她的孩子。我们到达的那天早上下了很大的雨，所以道路非常滑溜泥泞，老实说，这反而增加了乐趣。我们和她们三个人笑得很开心……我们知道我们可能会从她们那里买一些当地的纪念品，但在她们帮助我们保持平衡并找到一些路径后，我们觉得这很公平。我们是在 10 月中旬旅行的，沙巴比河内凉爽一些。17c-20c，雾气弥漫，多雨。我建议穿着运动鞋、防滑的步行凉鞋或雨靴（从镇上买的）去。如果下雨，你的脚肯定会沾满泥土。
没有真正的办法可以避免。但就像我说的，只要顺其自然，你就会度过一段非常有趣的时光。看到几个游客摔倒了。大家都笑了。不要太过小心眼，你会玩得开心的。这是我们整个假期的亮点。
风景是另一个层次的。途中还有其他徒步旅行团，所以我们在任何时候都不会感到孤立或不确定我们的路线。
午餐时间很愉快，有美味的香脆炒饭，之后 YaYa 带我们去了当地的一个中心，在那里我们看到了靛蓝植物织物染色过程以及玉米和大米碾磨。还吹了一小会苗族笛子。
下午 3 点左右，她的丈夫和他的朋友从 Tà Van 村接我们，然后直接把我们送回了酒店。
他们非常热情和乐于助人。第二天早上我们有空，所以我们问 YaYa 她的丈夫 Timothy 是否可以带我们去看爱和银瀑布。他和他的兄弟花了 30 美元，让我们骑摩托车上山观赏，在各个观景点停留，然后沿着小路步行，以便看得更清楚。整个过程大约花了 2 个小时。
他们开车，我们感到非常安全和放松。任何去过越南的人都知道那里的道路非常混乱，但我可以看出他们格外小心，比平时开得慢，让我们感到安全。
老实说，不要犹豫预订或联系 YaYa。她让我们的沙巴之行物有所值。我们在一起的时候真的很享受和他们俩聊天。他们非常体贴地分享当地知识，而且在谈话中自然好奇和有趣。我们整个过程都感到非常放松和完全自在。
我给过的最简单的 5 星。⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
P.S. 她还穿着最酷的衣服。希望她能成为我们的私人造型师。
