5.00I messaged loop tours asking for a special request in March 2026 - a one day tour with an easy rider, lodging, and transport from Hanoi. Rianne was absolutely amazing organizing everything for me and the journey was so smooth! I had an amazing private tour with my driver Duy, and could not recommend this company enough. Thank you both for such an incredible stay and for making my time in northern Vietnam so memorable.
Simply awesome

5.00The Cao Bang Loop with The Loop Tours was by far the best part of my time in Vietnam. They have such a good setup - everything was super smooth and run by lovely people! Fabi was the first and last person we saw from The Loop Tours, who set a very chill and fun vibe for the whole experience and I only wish she could have come on the tour with us, but she had much more important things to do. Quyen, my driver, a Cao Bang local was a legend and also the team leader of my group. I had complete trust in him driving me about so if you get the chance to choose him as a driver - do it. And say hello from me. The tour itself was amazing - some of the best scenery in all of Vietnam, and you get the opportunity to interact with a lot of Vietnamese people which I think is something missing from other tours. The Cao Bang loop is much more peaceful compared to the Ha Giang loop as there are less tour companies that run it, and so it’s more unspoilt which for me is really important.
An amazing experience!!

5.00I had the best time doing the 3 day Cao Bang loop tour I highly recommend!! 10/10! The views were incredible and we stopped often at viewpoints and the roadside to get pictures and for us/the drivers to have a rest which was appreciated. There was a good range of activities and things to see including mountain viewpoints, waterfalls (including at the Chinese border) and a cave and well as 2 walks, 1 to the famous hairpin bend viewpoint and the other to a mountain viewpoint so it never felt repetitive. We were able to explore the areas ourselves and never felt rushed to leave. My easy driver Lộc always made me feel safe and was an impeccable driver so a massive thank you to him! All of the drivers were sensible and we were never worried as the route/roads all felt safe too! The drivers always went to bed early and didn't/had little to drink so were always in perfect condition to be driving the next day. The homestays were lovely and well equipped and all of the meals (including lunches out) were delicious and accommodated for a wide range of tastes and diets. Overall there was great communication regarding the buses to and from the hostel in Cao Bang at the start/end of the tour. They provided accurate timings and locations as well as bus number plates to make it easier to find the right one and the minibuses themselves were really nice. We didn't see another tour group whilst doing the loop so if you want a quiet route and incredible views this is perfect. We had viewpoints and cafes to ourselves which was so nice!
Great adventure with great people!

5.00What a pearl in North Vietnam. Not yet on the minds of many tourists a 3 day trip with a beautiful new view behind every bend. Just climbing, descending and turning. Thanks to our easy riders, Ha Teong, Phung, Teieu and Luc.
100% recommend!

5.00We had such a fun time, I miss it so much!! The home-stays were lovely and the food was good too. Special thank you to my easyrider Chris who kept me safe throughout the trip :) the only thing I would add is to either update the itinerary or let people know in advance if it is going to be different just to have an idea of what the day will be like. But overall it was amazing thank you guys!
Great tour

5.00The tour was breathtaking and the drivers were lovely. We went through some spectacular Mountain views and small towns. My driver, Huynh, was great! He was very friendly and fun. The first hostel stay was practically on top of a mountain with hammocks and fire pits. It rained on the third day but the drivers were well prepared with rain gear for everyone. They do just drop you off places for you to explore yourself, which is fine with me, so you can take each stop at your own pace.
