Bring suitable clothes depending on weather! Weather was bad during my trip but I still had an amazing trip. Would love to do the exact same trip again. So much breathtaking nature and interesting sights!

Highlight of our trip. It was an adventure and not without risk of injury especially in the rain with oncoming chaotic traffic on winding roads. Glad we did it. Made great friends.

Stop looking elsewhere and BOOK with this company. The drivers were all very kind and safe, the people we met were amazing, sleeping arrangements great and the food divine. All you have to do is book, show up at the meeting point and sit on the motorcycle - the rest is taken care of for you. All meals provided and sleeping arrangements. Really could not have been less stress free and more beautiful. LOVE THIS COMPANY!!!!!

I recently completed the Ha Giang Loop in Vietnam, and it was truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience. The scenery was absolutely breathtaking – from winding mountain passes to lush valleys and vibrant local villages, every moment of the ride felt unforgettable.
What really made the trip even more special was my driver, No4. He was not only incredibly skilled and safe on the road but also friendly, professional, and fun to be around. He made the journey smooth, enjoyable, and stress-free, allowing me to soak in the beauty of the loop without worry.
If you’re considering doing the Ha Giang Loop, I can’t recommend it enough – and if you get the chance to ride with No4, you’ll be in the best hands possible!

We absolutely recommend this tour. If you’re going to book Ha Giang Loop, book this tour - we loved it. We had a small group and our easy riders were amazing. They did a great job to ensure we had a great and comfortable time. They drove very professionally and made us feel safe on the bikes. Special shout out to our guide Sing for making it such a memorable experience. Water and all meals are provided and they are traditional Vietnamese food, a great experience. The homestay and the motel were clean and comfortable. The shuttle bus from Hanoi was comfortable. Wear clothes and shoes that can get dirty and bring your own tissues as many of the squat toilets along the route don’t have toilet paper. Everything about this tour was amazing, the only thing I would say is be careful what month you book this tour in. We went in February and it was foggy and rainy so we missed a lot of the views. Despite this, the fog cleared at times showing amazing views and the fun of being on the bikes made it the trip of a lifetime.

This is an experience of a lifetime!! Everything is taken care of—food, water, great accommodations, rain gear in case of rain…& if you need anything they’re there for you. Yes the scenery, the small villages, and the food is incredible, but in reality the riders make the trip. Such a phenomenal, friendly, funny, and genuinely caring group of guys. I cannot recommend this tour enough! Try to get Khanh as your group leader! He is the absolute best!!! This tour is a MUST if you come to Vietnam. Actually, its a must if you like to travel period!! Love love love!!!
Maya_S, Jan 2025
Amazing views of the landscape in North Vietnamese with some of the most breathtaking mountain views I’ve seen. The tour guide/my driver (Minh-Mikel) and all the drivers are very friendly and accommodating, supplying drinking water and carry your bags. They’ve done this tour many times, so they are very experienced and safe drivers. Staying with locals at home stays was a pleasant with many new friends from all over. The food they provided was very tasty on the tour, however the drive to/from was interesting as he made random stop to people up boxes and the restaurant he took us to was on the sketchy side. Other travellers made this an unforgettable experience with lots to talk about, drinking, and karaoke. Thank you Minh-mikel and all the other divers in making this experience my top 3! :)
Julia_A, Dec 2024
it was one of the best tours in my life and i travel a lot. Breathtaking views , excellent service . the ride from and Hanoi was the only thing that was unpleasant. limousine bus sounds good, but not in this case. Seats were not working. The bus was very old. And on the way back, there was no room for luggage so it was all laying between seats . Also bring your food with you. It’s alone ride. They will stop for 30 minutes at a location where I personally would not eat. Though, I saw people eating food there just fine. It’s your choice. I chose not to eat.
We did not stay in hostel first night when we arrived to Ha Giang. We booked a hotel separately. Also we booked a private tour by car . It cost us $200 extra. But we got to ride a motorcycle on the way to waterfall at our second stop overnight. Home stay and hostel stay on first and second night of the tour were pretty nice. Of course it’s not four or five star hotel, but I was expecting less. clean. Very good food. And “happy water”w as a nice bonus ( home made corn vodka , tastes like sake)
our tour guide Hoang was amazing and driver Dume was fun
over all : i am so glad we chose this tour ❤️
Isabel_S, Nov 2024
My Ha Giang loop tour with Hoang as my driver was an incredible experience! Hoang’s expertise on the winding mountain roads made me feel safe and comfortable, allowing me to relax and fully take in the breathtaking views. Also, his friendly personality and deep knowledge of the area added so much to the experience. Each stop was perfectly timed, giving us a great mix of adventure and relaxation. Highly recommend this tour for anyone planning to explore the Ha Giang loop!

We’re so happy to hear that the Ha Giang Loop was everything you hoped for. Thank you for your review, and we look forward to exploring with you again someday!
John_H, Nov 2024
Amazing trip, incredible scenery and atmosphere.
We had been recommended this trip and it lived up to expectations. We had a fun group and the drivers /guides really looked after us well.
The Homestay was very good, played games after swimming / jumping in by the waterfall.
Response from Host, Nov 2024
Thank you for choosing Ha Giang Amazing Tours! We’re thrilled you enjoyed the loop with us. Your kind words inspire us to keep delivering amazing experiences!
Florence_G, Oct 2024
Could not rate this tour more highly. If you’re going to Ha Giang, please do this tour. The drivers are absolutely amazing and very professional. I felt so safe and well looked after the whole time. The accommodation is also fantastic, very clean and comfortable. An amazing experience I will remember forever! Shout out to Sing (the best driver!!)
Anna_D, Sep 2024
The trip was amazing! The drivers made me feel so comfortable and safe. The tour group organized everything so well and even when one of the drivers has a slow leaking tire it was fixed quickly with very little delay. The entire loop is surreal and beyond beautiful. I hope you take the opportunity to book this tour and see all the beauty.
Ask for Dau and tip him well!! He was attentive, a great driver, kind, and so happy all the time.
Carolyn_C, Sep 2024
Fabulous experience, amazing views, fantastic drivers! This was an experience of a lifetime! Highly recommend!
Kimicle_K, Aug 2024
Best experience in Vietnam so far! Drivers are very nice, small party group and really cozy accommodations!
Rucha_K, Aug 2024
Our guides Paul and Hieu led us on an incredible mountain journey! If you are unsure which company to go with this is the one! The journey is long but the tour has lots of stops along the way. This part of Vietnam is so beautiful and we highly recommend doing this trip it is very worth it!
Anthony_B, Jul 2024
We knew we were getting beautiful views along the trip, but one of our main concerns was safety along the way. Ha Giang Amazing Tours did an incredible job ensuring safety. The drivers were cautious around every turn, slowed when pavement was slick, and watched after us carefully. Would highly recommend booking through Viator for the Ha Giang Amazing Tour - you will not be disappointed :)
Claire_H, Jun 2024
The most memorable and amazing experience of our entire trip. I cannot recommend Amazing Tours enough. Our guide Tuong ran such an organised tour and we were left with our hearts full from the experience. My driver Ho was so friendly and helpful and added so much to the trip. He always made me feel safe and expertly tackled the rocky roads.
HocKhoa_T, Jun 2024
First of all, thank you to the main tour guide Tou Tou, he was so funny and so knowledgeable throughout the whole journey. He made me feel safe and was excellent throughout the whole tour!
Thank you for giving me the opportunity to see the beautiful scenery!
It was life changing this tour.
Andy_T, Apr 2024
A must do! As a longtime traveller, this is one of the few rare experiences and will be a lifelong memory! This instantly is topping my list of all time travel adventures.
My wife and I were looking forward to this weeks ahead of time (although most others in our group booked it just a few days before). Many of the comments we had seen were reflective of the bus trip to/from Ha Noi and now I know why, the bus certainly could have been better, but as they are subcontracted that is unlikely to change. For the actual tour, this company was great (especially our ez-riders! Both of them were named "Sing" - apparently there are 7 "Sing's" in the company). Our riders grew up in the mountains that we rode on, so they were very happy to show us around.
As many others have mentioned, after a few minutes everyone seems to get more comfortable on their motorbikes and the day got started right away. They made sure to have stops (either viewpoints, convenience / rest stops, food, etc.) about every 30 minutes, the longest ride was maybe 45 minutes in one stretch. Between the variety of stops and astounding scenery, the day flew by and everyone was tired and excited to reach the hotel for our first night. This hotel was amazing, extremely clean, great views, great staff, no complaints at all.
We headed into the local town for dinner / breakfast (the "local" food was definitely catered to a western audience), but this trip was about riding on the back of the motorbikes. Everyone agreed that there was always too much food and we didn’t need that much food on the table every single time. After breakfast, day 2 was off to a downpour, but even riding in the rain was a fun / unique experience. Our drivers made sure to take care of us and made sure we were protected from the rain. We didn’t even get wet! I wish the views would have been a little more clear, but we are already planning to go back and do it again!
We were on the 3-day route and day 2 was our favorite, the scenery was breath-taking despite the morning rain. You become very aware that these villages have not had a lot of tourism influence and you were truly experiencing the Northern Vietnam countryside almost untouched by modern society. That evening was a homestay in a small village, rooms were "open air" but each bed had a mosquito net available. We went to the waterfall / swimming hole in the afternoon as well, but the highlight was certainly the dinner / party with all our drivers, as this was the last night together. Being a small village, the karaoke was shut down at 10pm to not bother the locals.
Day 3 also had amazing views, despite being bittersweet that the trip was coming to a close. We enjoyed every last minute of the ride and made great connections with our drivers. I know each experience is different, but they really made all the difference. Each ez-rider put effort in to connect with us and make sure everyone was safe, happy, comfortable, etc. While it may be the same at some other companies, we definitely saw groups from other companies that did not get the same treatment.
I would highly recommend both this company and experience, it is a must do!
TIA_S, Apr 2024
Choosing this trip was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made! An absolutely fantastic experience with a top tier company. After passing many tour groups it was clear this is the most professional, well organised and managed team. Lovely, enthusiastic riders, beautiful views and great food!
Julia_W, Mar 2024
One of the best experiences we had ever had! My easy rider, Ming, was the life of the party but also made me feel very safe whilst driving. My partner’s driver was also fantastic. I definitely recommend getting an easy rider for the loop as the roads are tricky to navigate and the riders are experts (also gives you the opportunity to take in the views the whole way!) It was very very hot and sunny for our 3 day trip, so we’re glad that there were plenty of stops along the way for photos, short hikes, snacks, drinks , and even a boat ride. Make sure you bring some small notes with you so that you to make buying snacks and drinks easier - you also need to pay to use some of the bathrooms. You finish riding by about 5pm each day but there are plenty of evening activities - on night 1 we climbed up to a tower to watch the sunset, followed by a delicious dinner, games and karaoke, and on night 2 we went swimming in a waterfall followed by a night of karaoke and lots of happy water! The accommodation was far better than we expected - on night one we had a big room with a balcony and an amazing view in a hotel and night 2 we stayed in a local homestay which was less comfortable but a great experience. After 3 days our backs and bums were sore but we left with unforgettable memories.
If, like me, you are feeling a bit nervous about books because you haven’t been on a motorbike before - don’t hesitate! The drivers make you feel so safe and after 10 mins of driving you will feel comfortable and confident on the bike!
I was going to knock off one star for the horrible journey back to Hanoi after the tour but decided that was unfair. But just be warned that the bus isn’t particularly comfortable, the driving was very dangerous (I felt safer on the motorbike!), and the stop for food wasn’t particularly clean. The bus was also stopped by the police and we were left on the bus with the doors locked and zero communication from the driver for almost an hour. The driver left on a scooter to get documents that the police needed to check without letting us know. We were eventually moved to a different bus but the new driver didn’t know where to drop us so we just got off and walked. I suggest the Ha Giang Amazing tours look into using a different bus company in the future.
Gokhan_T, Mar 2024
An incredible experience. Easily 10/10 and the highlight of our vietnam trip. The staff are extremely friendly and accommodating.
Carmen_T, Mar 2024
Shoutout to our easy riders, Slowly, Minh, and Panda (nickname) for making the trip memorable! Slowly was our lead guide and my easy rider throughout the trip. I felt safe with him leading the group and driving the loop despite the foggy weather. At one point, the dense fog caused extreme low visibility, but he drove slowly and made sure everyone in the group was together. Slowly was also very accommodating and let us stop to take photos and to stretch our legs. He and the other easy riders made sure we had everything and took care of us from the moment we stepped off the bus to the moment we stepped back on. Ha Giang is easily the best part of our trip because of our guides, the stunning views, and the other guides who you have a chance to interact with. The scenery is magnificent, even when the weather does not cooperate and you have a chance to socialize with other tourists as well. I highly recommend this tour to anyone who enjoys connecting with other people, and seeing another side of Vietnam. Everyone was friendly, and we already plan on going back. To anyone hesitating to join, just do it! You will not regret it.

The tour was great. We were a little unlucky with the weather as it was quite cool and foggy at times. However, our drivers and especially our leader Larry got the most out of it for us. We often passed busy viewing points and stopped in a quieter place. Larry always knew exactly where the best views were, what was worth doing and where to take the best pictures. At the stops he regularly took pictures of and for all of us - he knew through his experience where the best spots were and how to get the photos perfect.
Larry was also my easy rider. I felt safe with him throughout. He knew exactly when it was safe to drive fast and allow for the most fun possible and when the group needed to drive more carefully. Driving through the fog, in which we could only see about 10 to 15 meters ahead, was quite scary at times, but Larry made sure that the entire group stayed together and drove very carefully. I felt completely safe throughout the entire time.
Larry also speaks excellent English, which is not the case very often with tours in Vietnam and of course made communication so much easier. So we always knew exactly what was planned, how long it would take us to get to the next stop, when and where we could eat, drink or go to the toilet - something that - after spending a few weeks in Vietnam, especially away from the big cities - one really cannot appreciate enough. We met a few other tours along the way, all of whom were quite happy with their drivers, but often complained that they either barely understand their drivers and guides or that they can't speak English at all and they therefore don't receive any information. Things were different with Larry and I was even happier to be able to ride with him after I realized that.
In addition to providing the necessary travel information, Larry told us interesting stories at every stop and was always very accommodating. During the food stops he tried very hard to ensure that we were all full, that we enjoyed our food and that we drank enough. He is very caring and you could tell he was genuinely interested in us all having a good time.
In the evenings after the tours, Larry always joined us and enjoyed chatting and answering all of our questions about the tour, the area, Vietnam in general and Vietnamese culture. He encouraged us to take part in karaoke singing and really ensured we had the most of fun and the best experience on the tour. I can't say enough about how much better the tour was because Larry was there. I really feel like we got the best, most passionate and well prepared guide compared to others we saw on the way! Larry really is an asset to the company and they can be glad to have him.
Brock_M, Mar 2024
This trip was absolutely incredible, the only thing that could’ve been better was the weather. Must do! Very safe, planned well, and amazing staff (love you Larry!!). Definitely do this rather than drive yourself in the loop.
packing advice: bring a smaller bag with about three days worth of clothes, as it will be strapped to the back of the motorcycle inside a plastic bag. extra luggage can be left at their office/hostel.
The long journey from Hanoi was on a very comfortable bus with blankets. Once you arrive, you meet your group and get your easy rider. The best part about this company was the small group size - only 5 people in mine. It made stops much easier and you got to become friends with the whole group. Other companies have much larger groups.
Our group had a leader, Larry, who spoke excellent English and planned the route. Each of the other drivers spoke a little bit of English, but we could always have Larry translate.
I went when it was quite rainy/foggy, and they provided rain ponchos which was nice. Even with the bad weather (and already bad road conditions), my driver was very safe and drove quite well. We made stops about every 30 minutes to look at the views/have coffee/stretch legs. The views are absolutely stunning.
The accommodation the first night was a “homestay” - every person/couple had their own room, but everyone shared a few bathrooms. No heating/air conditioning. Dinner was at the homestay with karaoke night to follow. Many other tour groups stayed here so it made it fun to meet more people.
The second night was in a hotel with beautiful views. Dinner was at a nearby restaurant with other tour groups. All the meals had a variety of dishes and were pretty good (though I suspect catered towards foreigners with the amount of french fries served).
The best part for me was the other people in my group I got to meet, though of course you don’t have control over that. The views while riding were so incredible, hard to even describe.
I will recommend this trip with this company to everyone I know that goes to Vietnam.
cindy_l, Feb 2024
This is absolutely a must do experience, it was a gift for the eyes. Honestly, the views you see are insane. You get to see the local life in the mountains as well and meet so many new people on the trip. My driver Tinh was the highlight of my trip, we got along very well and he was extremely experienced making me feel very safe throughout the whole trip. This was an incredible experience!
Taylor_W, Feb 2024
An amazing experience that everyone should do at least once in their lifetime. We booked with this tour because of the stellar reviews and because we had limited time- they offer a complete 3 day / 2 night tour round trip from Hanoi. The first day is pretty intense and a long haul, but the scenery is out of this world. Our drivers came prepared with rain gear and made us feel very safe the entire journey. Really great and fun young guys. Can’t wait to do it again- but I would advise to take your time with this trip if possible. There is so much to see and absorb!
AliceLee_G, Jan 2024
wonderful, smart, mindful driver. avoided all potholes for a smooth three day ride. excellent tour route with delicious meals along the way. cozy hostel stay the night before starting the tour, amazing hotel the first night, and a beautiful homestay the second and last night. a great tour to have as an interruption to a routine! be ready to drink 🤣
