Our motorcycle ride (easy rider) was such a brilliant way to explore Sapa -- we covered so much ground through many villages -- perfect for the blazing weather in August.

My husband and I did an easy rider tour of the Muong Hoa Valley with our guide Thao Thi Giang and another driver. She was lovely, and we learned so much about rice farming and the different ethnic groups. We had a delicious lunch in a family home, and Thao was happy to stop wherever we wanted, so we could take pictures of the spectacular views. Both drivers were competent, which is important since some of the roads are pretty rough. Being on the back of a motorcycle was truly a great way to experience this area!

We had an absolute blast on the valley motorbike adventure. It was amazing to get out of Sa Pa to see the countryside that I pictured in my head. Couldn't have asked for a better day, and our guide (Gio?) was great! Would highly recommend to anyone!

Hu was a great local guide. He spoke excellent English and was really knowledgeable about the area. We saw so much beautiful scenery. His dad who was driving one of the bikes had a kind and gentle way about him, we felt very comfortable in their company and had a great day out exploring.

Driver May Sieu is a considerate and caring person. She drives safely and constantly look out for passenger. I felt the tour is not just catered to my preferences but she would share more of her knowledge on the places we visited, the culture and make the visiting interactive with people we met. It gave me much rich appreciation of how people do life and interconnect with one another. I highly recommend her as guide to anyone.
