Did the 3D2N trip (on back of driver) with Su and Giang.
Su is very entertaining and has good knowledge. Learnt alot about the different ethnic groups and their customs (Hmog/Tao/Red Dao).
Both are very experienced riders, and we felt v safe riding in the dark and on bumpy, curvy roads
Western Loop is not as popular compared to Eastern Loop, but still great views nonetheless!
Accomodation - 1D Tao homestay (v friendly and warm hosts!) and 1D luxe lodge
*Would recommend the WL if you prefer somewhere less touristy
*Get HGA to arrange the HanoiHa Giang transfer, saves you time and hassle. Most importantly, you’ll be guaranteed a bus seat. (Our bus was overbooked, and some slept along the bus aisle for the whole 8hours)
