"My husband and I couldn't expect more about this first trip to the upland of north Vietnam. Ha Giang hit us with the extreme cold, but we were so in awe with the view that we couldn't care less. Nho Que River was our favorite spot. You really shouldn't miss a boat trip on this river. Anyway, we couldn't finish the trip so smoothly without the help from Asia private staff. Thank you."

Good value for the price

"Our trip to Ha Giang couldn't have been so enjoyable without the help of Mr. Binh. He went above and beyond by taking care of all the nitty gritty details. From flights, hotels, things to do,... He was very responsive and always able to answer any questions or address any concerns we had. Thanks to Asia Private travels. We can't recommend their services highly enough"

"Took the six-day tour from Hanoi to Ha Giang,and it was a cracker. Homestays were spot on, none of that dodgy clutch malarkey. Guides were tops, they knew everything and every hidden trekking routes. The scenery, mate, we're talking emerald rice paddies stretchin' out forever, mountains that look like they could punch the clouds, and the Ma Pi Leng Pass... Fair suck of the sav, that was something else! Top trip for anyone looking for an adventure that's a bit different. "

"The itinerary was awesome, taking us on a journey through some of the most breathtaking landscapes I've ever seen. The Ma Pi Leng Pass was my favorite, and each day offered a new view of Ha Giang. The homestay experience in a Hmong village was good too. We got a glimpse into their way of life, shared a delicious home-cooked meal, and even learned a few basic phrases in their language!"

"Thanks to Ms. Ly, we had an amazing experience in Ha Giang. Initially we tended to go to Sapa, but Ms. Ly advised us to visit Ha Giang instead since we wanted to do trekking and enjoy more majestic scenery. Ha Giang didn't disappoint us! We loved every scene of the local houses, the adorable kids, and the insane food here. I am really excited about the next trip with Asia Private!"

"Six days on the Ha Giang Loop with Asia Private Travels was simply unforgettable. I was thoroughly pleased with the well-organized nature of the tour. The homestays were in great condition, and our guides were incredibly patient and always willing to explain things to us. Happy I booked this 6-day tour because it seemed like the perfect amount of time. It allowed us to truly appreciate the beauty of Ha Giang without feeling rushed. There were plenty of stops for photos and exploring hidden viewpoints, and the evenings were spent relaxing at homestays or enjoying local delicacies in small towns. Overall, a fantastic experience that I would highly recommend to anyone."
