5.00We came to Ha Giang looking to self drive but learned, that you need al least A1 driving license to rent a bike. Instead we opted out to private tour which turned out to be even better. Our guides Long and Hoang were super fun, engaging and took really good care of us. We had a wonderful time cruising through mountains, eating tasty food and even playing games with locals at a fair. Not having to drive we could just sit back, relax and take in the views. Definitely recommend. Just be sure to bring warm clothes and gloves in case it gets cold
Great Hagiang loop experience

5.00An amazing experience! 5 days 4 nights, from West to East with drivers (motorcycle scooter driver ) just wonderful! It was a real moment of sharing! With my spouse, we let ourselves be tempted by the experience. I hesitated for a long time before taking the reservation, to do it by renting only the bike and without driver just autonomously. And fortunately... I did not choose this option there for the human side to share with drivers. Roads and especially driving in Viet Nam requires experience riding motorcycles beforehand. With this offer, no need to worry about this problem. Besides, you don't need to worry about much except enjoying and taking pictures/videos! Everything is planned from A to Z, from rain outfits to your little comfort to wonderful moments of sharing with your drivers. You will have the chance to see several different viewpoints of landscape, with the possibility in some places to drink a coffee viet with some pieces of seasonal fruit! Your drivers will be there to also offer you the opportunity to capture his moments by taking your picture! The accommodations planned by the operator are very good and was beyond our expectations. You will not be in large luxury hotels, but rather in homestays or small hotels. We slept very well over the 4 nights and we were in a private room. The catering planned on the way are good restaurant where often it has been customary to take a combo to share between the four of us. This made it possible to discover several culinary specialties and especially to add conviviality between us! Regarding attractions/activities, there were always our drivers with us. To explain, discuss with them, share these beautiful moments together. You will not just have a great experience and enjoy it, you will create a new link and you will only ask to go back with them! The return trip from Cao Bang to Hanoi was also planned by the operator! As a bonus, you will emerge from the with concrete glutes! Being a biker, I was very pleasantly surprised by the comfort of the bikes and immediately felt safe in the way of driving drivers as well as my spouse who had a bad experience on motorcycle before, thanks to them and thanks to them, she knew how to profit 200% and only asks to spread mop in motorcycle this way! In short, one might think of a slightly high price for the experience, personally this was my greatest expense of the trip to Vietnam! And we only ask to redo this route to make our families discover it and above all, see our excellent drivers Ga and Hơp! Thank you to them again!
Unforgettable 5 days in Ha Giang thanks to our guide Tien!

5.00We did a 5-day tour of Ha Giang and it was just unforgettable! The scenery along the Loop is breathtaking – from majestic mountains to endless rice terraces and small charming villages. A special highlight, however, was our guide Tien. He really made the journey unique. With his open, warm manner and deep knowledge of the region, he not only showed us the most beautiful places, but also provided exciting insights into the culture and life of the people here. Thanks to him, we felt safe and in good hands at all times. Tien also made sure the tour was a perfect fit for us – with little special stops off the beaten track, delicious local food and great accommodations. Every day had its own character and we had an incredible time. I can heartily recommend this tour and especially Tien – if you really want to experience Ha Giang intensely and authentically, you should not miss it!

5.00We were set up to ride with Tom and Super Sieu and both were amazing and high energy, fun guides that shared a lot of lovely stories about the local culture of Ha Giang and were able to accommodate us along the entire trip. In Cao Bang they customized our trip a bit to fit what we were looking for and were overall a great pleasure! Would recommend!
