10/10 would recommend
The 5-day Ha Giang/ Cao Bang Loop was fantastic. We started 10 (all tours together) and separated on the way. I have to say a huge praise to leg Easyrider Ðuc. I felt comfortable and safe from the first moment! You can't thank this man enough!!!:) The organization, communication and group size were exactly as I wanted. If you don’t want a party tour, but still relaxed socialising is just right here. Would be back on the road with TheLoopTours at any time. Thank you for the wonderful moments and great experiences!

Amazing trip
This tour was everything I hoped for and more. Coming to Vietnam I knew I wanted to do the Cao Bang loop and was happy to find out that there's a company which combines Ha Giang with Cao Bang. The communication before the tour was clear, the transport to Ha Giang was okay, the staff at the Loop Homestay was amazing! The tour itself was great, the drivers were really prioritising our safety, the lunches and dinners were amazing (as a vegetarian I had many delicious options). The homestays were also nice. Most of the time we were given private rooms, but even the dorms were super comfy. I love how much details the company puts into giving you the best experience - e.g. decorating your helmets or checking in during the trip. The vibes really depend on the people you travel with, in my case it was a smaller group (which I loved) and it wasn't really party vibes. We had time to connect with each other, there was laso karaoke every night and pool some nights. There's room for some improvement though, for instance: - the guides' English was very poor and even with google translate it was sometimes difficult to communicate, while visiting different attractions other tour guides explained what was going on, unfortunately we didn't get that - we were given different information, e.g. what time is breakfast, what time do we leave, which led to some people being ready much earlier than needed - sometimes we felt rushed, we were told that we had 15 minutes, but after 5 the guide said it's time to go, and also, there were times I wanted to fly my drone and I could see the guide wasn't happy with waiting for me - some people got knee pads and elbow pads, some didn't for whatever reason - the itinerary wasn't the same as the one one the website, we weren't informed about the changes and the reasons for them - the breakfasts were monotone, crepes with some honey or jam, I'm sorry to say they weren't very filling, would love to get some other options All that aside, I'm still very happy with my experience and would 100% recommend, I felt safe and the views were amazing, I've seen everything that I wanted to.

Greatest experience
Best decision made! My amazing driver made me feel safe and extremely taken care during the whole trip. We were the only tour around wearing protections, which says a lot about the seriousness of the organization. The whole drivers crew was a fun bunch, we played together, karaoke, dancing... they really know how to have fun and make sure you are part of it. don't look further :)

Best tour I've done in Vietnam! Ha Giang - Cao Bang combo was amazing!
Best tour I've done in Vietnam! Ha Giang - Cao Bang combo was amazing! My favourite part was going to Cao Bang because it is super remote, cultural vibes and untouched landscape everywhere. The customer service was incredible as well! Andrew organized everything and was very helpful giving me loads of tips for Vietnam and our guide Bố sơn was frendly and very well prepared. Definitely recommend!
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for the amazing feedback! We’re thrilled to hear the Ha Giang – Cao Bang combo was the highlight of your time in Vietnam. Cao Bang really is something special – remote, peaceful, and full of rich culture and breathtaking views. Andrew will be happy to hear his support made your trip smooth and stress-free, and we’ll make sure Bố Sơn gets your kind words too – he’s a legend and always brings great energy to the tour. Thanks again for choosing us and for the recommendation — we hope to see you again for another adventure someday! — The Loop Tours Family

Ha Giang Loop & Cao Bang 5-Day Easy Rider with Ban Gioc Waterfall: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Ha Giang.
How much does Ha Giang Loop & Cao Bang 5-Day Easy Rider with Ban Gioc Waterfall cost?
+
Prices start at $360 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Ha Giang usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Ha Giang Loop & Cao Bang 5-Day Easy Rider with Ban Gioc Waterfall take?
+
Plan for about 120 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Ha Giang is not rushed.
Is Ha Giang Loop & Cao Bang 5-Day Easy Rider with Ban Gioc Waterfall worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 60 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 5 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable culture & history in Ha Giang, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Ha Giang Loop & Cao Bang 5-Day Easy Rider with Ban Gioc Waterfall?
+
No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.
Is Ha Giang Loop & Cao Bang 5-Day Easy Rider with Ban Gioc Waterfall suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 120-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Ha Giang Loop & Cao Bang 5-Day Easy Rider with Ban Gioc Waterfall?
+
Around 2 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Ha Giang can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Ha Giang and add a light layer if any part of the 120-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Ha Giang Loop & Cao Bang 5-Day Easy Rider with Ban Gioc Waterfall start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Ha Giang within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Ha Giang?
+
On Outty we rank every Ha Giang experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Ha Giang Loop 3D/2N Private Room+Free Dorm Hotel 1N before tour, Ha Giang Tour 3-Day-2-Night, English Speaking Guide, Small Group, Ha Giang Tour 4 Day-3-Night, English Speaking Guide, Small Group. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Ha Giang?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Ha Giang?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in Ha Giang Loop & Cao Bang 5-Day Easy Rider with Ban Gioc Waterfall?
+
Included: Entrance fees; Loop Tours T-Shirt; Accommodation for 5 nights; Lunch; and Dinner. Not included: Drinks; Personal expenses (souvenirs etc.); and Travel Insurance. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
What languages is Ha Giang Loop & Cao Bang 5-Day Easy Rider with Ban Gioc Waterfall offered in?
+
It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Ha Giang Loop & Cao Bang 5-Day Easy Rider with Ban Gioc Waterfall?
