10/10 experience!!
Compass15380521351, October 2026
I had a great experience during the loop. Louis was a ROCKSTAR! He (and the rest of the easy riders) took his time, his English was perfect and knew the right spots to stop and get the full experience. Next to being a local translator (when needed), had great conversations with him during the ride and learned a lot of insights of local life, know how and his family. I am sure that my Ha Giang experience would not be the same without him! 10/10, no improvement points at all.
