The ha giang tour loop for 3 days... ✨😍 It's really more than an experience of contemplation. Beyond the magnificent landscapes of Vietnam that we cross through the villages where we meet the population and the culture, it is an experience rich in emotion, in sensation but above all humanly speaking it is a magical social experience ✨ you meet people internationally, a group is created, a sublime energy emerges from these moments. I was lucky to have Sang as a guide who is just perfect, with his explanations, his energy, his smile, his joy, his good humor and his kindness, thank you again Sang, and thank you to Tua my super driver with whom I had a great time in complete safety ✨👌🏼🌿

THE BEST EXPERIENCE! If you want to do the Ha Giang loop (you should) you HAVE TO go with these guys! Groups of up to 15 people and the perfect balance between partying and focus on the views and the loop it self. The accommodation was great and all food was beyond great. The reason you should choose to book with Cheers Hostel instead of another company is not only the good food and homestays but also how friendly the drivers where and the fact that the group was smaller made it possible for us to go on roads the bigger groups dont go on. It made the whole experience much nicer and we got to see even more of how all the locals are living.
