Really enjoyed the tour with Ha Giang Expeditions. We were arranged to stay at Eco Stone House, which was so nice, and the host was friendly. Pao has good knowledge of both local history, culture, and new developments in the area. Will definitely recommend to friends and family to do the Loop with Ha Giang Expeditions

Amazing tour and service from Phuong and Hoang.
The homestays were beautiful and comfortable. The motorbikes were working perfectly and the food was really good. Most importantly the dedication from Phuong and Hoang to help us have a great stay was amazing. I stringly recommend Ha Giang Expeditions for your trip to the Ha Giang loop.

Great tour that I recommend 100%! We did the tour for 3 days and 2 nights, the landscapes are magnificent, the hotels we stopped at were great.
The guides are careful and this experience differs from others because they are not too big groups, it is more authentic.
Thanks again to our guide Sinh for this experience!

We had an amazing trip at the Ha Giang Loop with Ha Giang Expeditions. We planned on short notice but everything was well organized and we saw many beautiful sights in a short period of time. We chose 3D2N with pick up from Hanoi and we were a really small group. Only my friend and I with another couple and we chose easy rider so there were also 4 drivers. They all were really nice and the homestays felt really premium and were better than expected. The food was wonderful and there was plenty to eat even for us vegetarians. We where happy with the tour operator because we drove in a small group compared to other tours that had about 20 people in it. We can defenitely recommend doing this tour because everything from food, pick up, homestay, breakfast and activities were included and we had a lot of fun while seeing the highlights of the beautiful Ha Giang Loop.
