We just finished the Ha Giang Loop Tour with Lila Inn and it was most incredible experience. Firstly, the accomodation at Lila Inn in Ha Giang is exceptional. The rooms are clean and specious and the staff super attentive. They also provide you with lockers for your luggage until you complete the loop. Liam, the mananger, was extremely helpful with everything we needed and a wonderful host.

The loop tour itself was brilliantly organised. We booked the 4 days – 3 nights tour and it was the most epic experience. We stayed in wonderful homestays along the route (clean and decilious food) and visited breathtaking sights and local villages, off the beaten track. Unlike other packed group tours we saw on the way, we were only a group of 4 and our riders. This made the experience more personal and more enjoyable. Our riders were simply amazing – they drove safely, took care of us and made sure we got the most out of the trip. Special shoutout to my driver Duong, the sweetest person, who made this experience a lifetime highlight 🌻

I 100% recommend Lila Inn and their loop tour.

Lila Inn gave us cheap and comfortable rooms in a great location in ha giang town. The hosts gave us great advice and helped us book the 4 day ha giang loop motorbike tour including ban gioc waterfall. They also provided one of their own drivers to lead this trip. Ninh was an excellent guide and driver. He ensured we felt safe, welcomed and comfortable. The motorbike tour was one of the most amazing experiences! We highly recommend booking the 4 day ha giang loop including ban gioc waterfall through Lila inn and travel. Everything was perfect 🙂

I just finished doing 4 days and 3 nights of the Ha Giang Loop with Lila and it was so amazing! Liam was so helpful with planning. A lot of the tours are big groups but our group was only 4 people, plus our four easy riders. If you want a more intimate and personalized experience do Lila!!! I felt so safe the entire time. We had so much fun hanging out with our riders and each home stay was perfect. I want to do it all over again!!! Also shout out Stephan!!!! The best uno player and tour guide ever❤️❤️❤️❤️

Recommended by a friend so I booked a stay and when I arrived, Liam arranged for me to join the Ha Giang Loop tour for the following day. I joined 3 others and we had a fantastic experience. It felt like a private VIP tour, with the first stop being a private cave where we were able to swim and relax for an hour. This was an amazing experience and the tour only got better from there. The tour guide Stephan and her team of riders were excellent throughout and made sure to look after us all the way through. Would recommend this hostel and tour to anyone thinking of doing it. a

We just finished the tour with Lila. We are so happy to work with Liam. He is one of the nicest people you can meet. He came to greet us when we got off the bus in Ha Jiang. It was so unexpected and such a nice gesture.

Our drivers Ninh and Am took very good care of us while we were on the tour. We felt very safe with them driving despite the rain and fog. They fed us so well during the four days, the best we had in Vietnam. They had everything prepared, raincoat and all. Ninh is a pro for taking good photos. We are very thankful for this amazing experience! If you are looking for small group and individual attention, this is your place!

We recommended the property especially because we were able to book the tour to Ha Giang Loop through this. The rooms are clean and big. Showers and toilets are fine. In the evening we were invited to a dinner at the accommodation, which was delicious. The tour the following days was really a dream, everything was great organized our guide Stephan spoke very good English. There were only three of us traveling in the group and we felt safe at every moment. The accommodations and food on the go were well selected as well.

I couldn’t have asked for a better experience on the Ha Giang loop, and it was all thanks to Lila Inn and our tour guide and driver!

My partner and I spent 4 days and 3 nights on the loop. We each drove our own bike, and had a guide (Tu Ahn) and a driver. We did a private tour, all arranged through Liam.

Every stop we made was beautiful, the lunch stops were delicious, the homestays every night were a dream! We truly were able to experience the culture of northern Vietnam in such depth, which we would not have been able to accomplish on our own. I am so thankful to Lila Inn, Liam, our guide and driver for making this experience truly unforgettable.

Rooms: Every room we stayed in along the way was superb. We splurged and got a private room all along the tour, and would highly recommend doing so if you can.

Booked a solo trip for 4 days with an easy rider. The ride was smooth, the rider was very friendly and cooperative. He will be with you all along and helps you in any way needed. The selected home stays are comfortable. The best thing is “sometimes, the route which was chosen is completely different from other groups. I didn’t see any tourist guy in few places and I had one of the best experiences. You will get to see more unique places and get to know about local people easily”. Even though my rider doesn’t know English well, he tried his best in conveying the message and helped me learn some vietnamese as well.

This was an amazing trip I had with Lila, what I expected for years to visit Ha Giang. As a Vietnamese person living abroad and far away from my family and country. I always want to visit the north of VN anytime I visit my family. This time I chose Ha Giang. Going with Lila was a great experience, because I like small group, and feel safe with the driver. I am a bit low key, so the trip had enough time for me to enjoy the quiet place, met local people and also chill. One day was rainy and gloomy, not perfect to see the view on the road, but other days were sunny and cool, it was interesting to have different weather too with wonderful mountainous landscapes surrounding.

Tip: if you worry about the weather, just ask Lila, they are informative and supportive, they will give you some good tips for the trip.

The Ha Giang Loop, Vietnam 🇻🇳 with Lila Tours. There aren’t quite enough words to fully capture how incredible the past four days have been—but I’ll try.Riding on the back of a motorbike through some of the most breathtaking landscapes I’ve ever seen, I felt completely immersed in the beauty, culture, and spirit of northern Vietnam. We travelled through towering mountains, lush fields, winding roads, hidden caves, waterfalls, tiny villages, and vibrant local markets. Every turn brought something new—goats, chickens, butterflies, rivers, bridges, and countless warm smiles from the local people.Each night we stayed in the most welcoming homestays, where we were treated to delicious, fresh, home-cooked meals that tasted like love on a plate. In the evenings, we joined in with karaoke sessions or local town parties—laughing, dancing, singing, and connecting with both locals and fellow travellers in the most heartwarming way.The Ha Giang Loop is home to a rich tapestry of ethnic groups, including the H’mong, Tay, Dao, Nung, Lo Lo, and Giay. We had the chance to meet some of them, witness how they live, and learn about their traditions—an experience that was humbling and eye-opening.I want to give a huge shoutout to Tuyen, my Easy Rider, who went above and beyond every single day to make sure I was okay. He kept me safe, well-fed, and upright (even when I nearly toppled over!). He was a true angel—gentle, attentive, and kind—and not once did I ever feel at risk.I’m so glad I chose Lila Tours. Our small group of three, each paired with a local pro rider, made the experience even more personal and special. This was one of the most magical experiences of my life. I could honestly write a book or make a short film about everything we saw, did, and felt. I’ve never felt more alive, more peaceful, or more connected to the world around me.These are the kinds of moments that remind you to live deeply, to chase experiences that expand your heart and mind, and to reflect on the life you truly want to create. I’m filled with gratitude—for the journey, the people, and the privilege to witness such beauty.If you’re an adventurous soul heading to Vietnam, please put the Ha Giang Loop on your list. I promise—it will change you.

We had an unforgettable experience doing the Hà Giang Loop with Lila Inn Tour Group! Our guides were incredibly kind and knowledgeable — they knew the roads inside out and made sure we got to see everything we asked for, including the stunning Mã Pí Lèng Pass, Nho Quế River, and Mạc Lẻo.

I don’t eat meat, and they made sure all my meals — lunch and dinner — matched my dietary needs. One night, my family was craving lẩu, and they made it happen with no problem.

We only had 2 days and 1 night, but the guides worked around our schedule and delivered exactly what we wanted. We’re so happy with the experience and will always remember our guides with so much appreciation.

I also want to thank Lila Inn for refunding my deposit the week before when I had to cancel last minute due to rain. Their understanding and flexibility meant so much.

My family is already planning to come back for a 5D4N trip next time we’re in Vietnam. So, so happy!

Thank you so much Lila Inn & Tours

What an incredible experience! I can not recommend doing the Ha Giang Loop and booking through Lila Inn.

They ensured our experience was the best and were very helpful throughout. The small group size was the best and ensured a very intimate experience. We saw many hidden gems.

The accommodation the evening before starting and the bag storage is a great additional benefit! We also booked transport to and from Hanoi through them (also worked out very well – I would recommend the VIP sleeper bus!)

The easy riders were the best. They took such great care of us and really know what they are doing. We considered driving on our own, but it was the best decision to take an easy rider. Some of the roads are quite technical and also the police were quite strict!

Overall, 10/10 to Lila Inn, their easy riders, and the Ha Giang Loop!

I can’t say enough good things about LiLa Inn, especially the staff. When we arrived we had the intention of driving the loop ourselves. Being from the USA, we unfortunately did not have the proper license to do. The front desk went over every possibility for us and took 2 hours of their time to figure everything out. They will hold your hand through the process, and that is worth the stay alone. We’re actually staying with them again when we head back to Ha Giang once we’re done with the loop.

If you’re thinking of doing the Ha Giang/Cao Bang loop, look no further than Lila Inn.

We wanted to do Ha Giang and Cao Bang in 5D4N and not many companies offered this. We also wanted to avoid the big companies where they group people in hordes of 20-30, going to packed touristy places/routes with drinking and partying every night.

We are so so glad to have done the loop with them. We had a group of 5 people in total, all like minded people and we visited famous places as well as quiet spots. We even did a little hike on day 2 where there was no one else but us. The first 3 days were the 5 of us with an easy rider each, then the last two days were just my partner and I (basically private tour) as we continued onto Cao Bang and everyone else the rest of Ha Giang.

The easy riders are fantastic too. Very kind, caring and fun people to be with. We felt safe the whole time as they’re great drivers, and it was just a very intimate experience of the loop as we avoided big crowds most of the time.

Special shout out to Ninh, Ngân, Tuyển, Thanh and Lưu who went above and beyond for our trip.
