5.00Incredible experience! Would do it again immediately. Viet is such a great guide, he speaks very good English and is very helpful and accommodating, a really cool guy! He showed us the most beautiful corners of the loop, told us a lot and answered every question. Thank you so much it will always be remembered! I drove the loop myself and my girlfriend was with him in the back, super cool driving experience for both of us! The accommodations were also very great and the families very accommodating and friendly. The food was also very delicious and varied. I am very convinced of the offer! All the best:)
Great experience, we really recommend to everyone!

5.00We recommend this tour 100%. Our guide and also my Driver Viet was absolutely top. He spoke excellent English, so he could explain and show us a lot. On the whole loop we met a few tourists, but most of the time we were in our group (3 people). Not a single spot was overflowing with people. The homestays were very cozy and the food always top. We would definitely return the loop You do.

5.00I can’t recommend this tour enough, the tour guide - Viet - was excellent. We did the 3 day tour using our own bike and had the best time. Viet met us at the hotel on the first day with the bike and a few others were along for the 1 day tour. The sites visited are breathtaking and we had plenty of time at each one. You spend the time travelling around near the Chinese border with amazing views. We were booked into a home stay by Viet each night situated in beautiful locations and it was very peaceful. The second day it was just us and Viet, he was wonderful to spend the day with. All meals are included and are excellent. BOOK THIS TOUR.

5.00We did the 3-day, 2-night self-drive tour in Cao Bang and had an absolutely amazing experience. Driving through the region was unforgettable, the scenery is truly stunning and far less crowded than other popular routes. Our guide, Viet, was fantastic from start to finish. He was incredibly accommodating, always checking that we were comfortable and confident while driving, and made sure everything ran smoothly. We always felt safe and well looked after. The itinerary was excellent, with really worthwhile stops along the way. The included lunches were a highlight, delicious Vietnamese dishes served in generous portions that definitely kept us satisfied! The homestays were another standout, set in beautiful locations overlooking rice fields and rivers, making the whole experience feel peaceful and authentic. On the second day, it was just the two of us and Viet, which made the experience even more special. We had the flexibility to spend as much time as we liked at each stop, which we really appreciated. Overall, this tour is a fantastic way to explore the natural beauty of Cao Bang. It’s a perfect alternative to the Ha Giang Loop if you’re looking for something less touristy, with more opportunities to experience rural Vietnam and breathtaking landscapes. Thank you, Viet! We can’t recommend this tour enough! 😊
