Lies and rubbish tour
Firstly let's start with Mr. Dong, he was extremely helpful in the beginning, very attentive and fast to respond. Once I paid however that all changed, he is a flat out liar. We booked and paid for a motorcycle tour and a Ha Long boat trip. What we booked and what we got are totally different, we got a subpar ship without any consultation and did not know until we got on a different boat so not a lot of options at that point. His justification was 'we got an upgraded room', an upgraded room on a downgraded boat is still a down grade. I raised this issue with Mr. Dong and we met before the motorbike ride and he assured me that everything else would be exactly as we booked it, so with this information in mind we decided to continue with our planner motorbike tour. When we got to our first location I look at the map and asked our guide why we were so far away from where we were meant to be on the itinerary, at this point he shared a different itinerary with me. Again I contact Mr. Dong and asked why the itinerary was totally different to the literary we book, his response 'its an upgraded itinerary'. Again this was not discussed with us and it was a massive downgrade, we stayed in crappy homestays that were moldy and gross. We asked about things on the new itinerary with our guide who told us 'I don't know where that is' and 'I don't know why that's in the itinerary'. He also took us to random things with no explanation and no information on what it was and what we were looking at. We had to seek a refund from Tripaneer (which we got) and Mr. Dong was a complete d**k about it despite acknowledging they made several mistakes. I would not recommend anything from this company. The bikes were absolutely rubbish, they were in crappy condition and not at all suited for 2 riders. Our guide barely spoke to us, we tried multiple times to engage with him but gave up by the end of the trip. The ride days were long because our tour guide sat at about 30km/h average speed which would have been great if we were seeing interesting things and stopping and discussing things but we weren't, we were on highways for a lot of it so it was slow and boring. Minimal offroading was done and most of what was promised in the itinerary was never delivered, the justification was 'it wasn't suited for a rider with a passenger' if thats the case don't offer the tour for a pillion. The countryside is beautiful and the people are so friendly in Vietnam so I would absolutely recommend people do a tour in Vietnam, just not with these liars. Mr. Dong started name calling and saying I was cold etc and that's why the guide didn't talk to us so I suspect he will respond to this with the same game to blame me for his failings as a tour operator. I have no idea how he has so many positive reviews, I assume they are paid for. I will never travel with this company again.
Response from the operator: Hi Michael How shameful you are when you are always trying to sink us down again and again. This is just to show how cunning you are a black-hearted man and you are a terrible liar betraying what you promised and probably we don't need to argue with what you tried to slander our business because all of our beloved customers out there are highly-educated people and they know who is good and bad but they are never jealous & small-minded like what you are trying to shout out We strongly request Tripadvisor to take down this review because it never reflects exactly what was going on because this man agreed getting our refund to forgive some minor issues

Great bike tour for 6 days, north west Vietnam
Brilliant 6 days, the tours are road based with a little bit of riding on un paved roads, Ducky was our guide, ex-road racer which suited us as we like to push on. Was amazing to see all the villagers, people waving, nothing like miserable old England where everyone thinks your doing something illegal. Homesteads were great, food nothing to say as always the best. Get it booked and take your holiday to +10.

What Memories Are Made Of!
I Was not sure what to expect when we booked this tour, i wanted something for my son and I to experience together. Mission accomplished! Pleased to say, it was far and away better than all expectations! From fabulous country side to spectacular home stay visits(excellent accommodation) to a absolutely fantastic guide with a cheeky sense of humour it is a fabulous way to see some of Vietnams beauty and get to ride a off road bike in some picturesque and wonderful locations that will challenge you but not break you!!! I would 100% recommend.

Why this scores 50
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Vietnam Motorbike Tour To Sapa, Mu Cang Chai, Thac Ba-5 Days: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Hanoi.
How much does Vietnam Motorbike Tour To Sapa, Mu Cang Chai, Thac Ba-5 Days cost?
+
Prices start at $834 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Hanoi usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Vietnam Motorbike Tour To Sapa, Mu Cang Chai, Thac Ba-5 Days 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 Hanoi is not rushed.
Is Vietnam Motorbike Tour To Sapa, Mu Cang Chai, Thac Ba-5 Days worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 50 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.5/5 across 8 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable food & drink in Hanoi, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Vietnam Motorbike Tour To Sapa, Mu Cang Chai, Thac Ba-5 Days?
+
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 Vietnam Motorbike Tour To Sapa, Mu Cang Chai, Thac Ba-5 Days 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 Vietnam Motorbike Tour To Sapa, Mu Cang Chai, Thac Ba-5 Days?
+
Around 3 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 Hanoi 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 Hanoi and add a light layer if any part of the 120-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Vietnam Motorbike Tour To Sapa, Mu Cang Chai, Thac Ba-5 Days 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 Hanoi 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 Hanoi?
+
On Outty we rank every Hanoi experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Ha Giang Loop 3-Day Small Group - from Hanoi, (Group/Individual) HANOI STREET FOOD TOUR, Incense Village Quang Phu Cau, Hat Village and Hanoi City Tour. 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 Hanoi?
+
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 Hanoi?
+
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.
