The Ha Giang loop is one of the best things to experience in Vietnam. We booked a 3 day tour for me and my husband with two riders - Luan and Khanh. We wanted a more private tour, as we wanted to be more flexible and skip the noisy groups, and it was totally worthed.
Khanh speaks very well English, Luan is still shy, but we are sure he will improve soon:)
The riders were careful and we felt comfortable and safe. You can tell the guys know the way very well and are experienced drivers. Which is very important as the loop can be very dangerous for people with no experience. There are parts of the road in construction and not pleasant at all - dusty and bumpy. Get a face mask to be prepared.
The weather was fine, which was great. We saw amazing views, understood more about vietnamese culture during our communication with the guys and overall we are very happy with our choice.
We even got invited to Khanh's home and met his parents, it was really kind and they were very welcoming.
Thank you :)
