5.00Great tour with green riders everyone was so nice and had great recommendations. This was my first solo trip and i had the amazing Chuyên who was very accommodating, made sure i was comfortable throughout, and was able to answer all my obscure questions! The accommodation itself was lovely and very central in cao bang so easy to explore the city if you’d like. Can’t recommend them enough. Wish I’d booked onto a multiple days tour. This is a great tour to learn about the different livelihoods in the village and even try your hand at making paper! Angle Eye Mountain was stunning, unfortunately didn’t get the opportunity hike it due to rainy season but would love to come back in the future!!
A great discovery!

5.00This was an incredible experience in Cao Bang. I cannot recommend the green riders enough! They were kind and accommodating and made sure my wife and I were comfortable as this was our first time on motorbikes. Our guides were helpful and accommodated the excursion to what we were comfortable with. If you only have a few days in Cao Bang when visiting I’d highly recommend doing this tour!
What an Experience!

5.00Amazing experience yesterday with Chuyen and the rest of the Easy Rider drivers. All of them were very kind, engaging and quite entertaining as they watched us experience all that they brought us to from the knife forging, to paper making, to incense, to and in Angel Eye Mountain and finally to Thang Hen lake! Truly incredible views and amazing hospitality shown from all Vietnamese that we met. Pictures and videos can't do Vietnam or the people the justice they deserve.... you must come to experience it for yourself! Thank you, Green Riders! Truly feel blessed to have spent time with all of you

5.00The tour was amazing! In addition to the impressive nature that you can see while sitting on the motorbike, we visited three different craft villages (knife, paper, incense) and got to see their impressive craft work. We were also allowed to try making paper ourselves and watched how notebooks are made from it. After visiting the three villages, we went to the Mount Angel Eye and hiked up to the eye from the backside, which was quite impressive as well. On the way back we also had a local snack, which was even made vegan for us. The tourguide and the easy riders were so kind and drove safely. We really enjoyed the tour and would definitely recommend doing it.
An amazing tour !

5.00This tour was perfect, we did so much in only half a day ! Angel eye mountain, incense village, knife village and paper village. It was all so beautiful. We finished the tour with a nice snack in Cao Bang. Our guides were amazing, so nice and willing. We had a lot of fun with them. Also they helped us find a bus to Ba Be, I don’t know how we would have done it without them. I highly recommend Green Riders !
Very nice tour !
