Our Guest

I have just got back from my Ha Giang Loop tour and honestly I can say hands down it’s one of the best things I have ever done. This is coming from someone who was so scared to get on the back of a motorbike but my driver/tour guide Sun was absolutely amazing made me feel comfortable from the start.

Ha Giang loop road tour was everything and more. I was in the extraordinary hands of Nguyen Minh, the most thoughtful and welcoming guide. Minh’s motorbike riding was just perfect, we went at such a lovely pace and his “be careful” skills navigating some of the more trickier parts were exceptional.

We had a fantastic time on our 3 day Ha Giang tour! 1 easy rider and one solo riding and both had a great experience. We had a much smaller group size than most tour groups on the loop which gave a much more personal experience- would recommend!

The tour was really amazing. Our guide was so kind and he took care of all of us. It was a great experience and we wouldn’t have missed it at all!!! Thank you niao (hope i write it correctly) for the unforgetable time!!!

A great experience doing the Ha Giang loop. The views were stunning and both our drivers, Ty and Minh were top! We never felt unsafe while riding the loop, they gave great explanations and always made us laugh. I was sad the tour had to end
