I really enjoyed this tour, the views are absolutely incredible and my driver/guide, Bing, was very skilled and kind. Definitely a good tour if you want to see more of the region and get away from the main areas.

If you want to get away from the crowded tourist destinations and explore Sa Pa in all its natural beauty, this would be the perfect experience. The guide knows hidden gems that are truly worthwhile. Dragon waterfall is one of the biggest Sa Pa has to offer. The views along the way are unbelievable. The motorbike tour has a ton of outlook points. Got local bites and explored caves and church ruins. Truly magnificent experience!

one of the planned stops was closed and simply dismissed as “bad luck.” Shortly after, things went seriously wrong. On a slippery road, the motorbike fell over while we were almost standing still. I hit my head (I was wearing a helmet) and rolled over. The driver asked several times if I was okay, but when I mentioned pain in my neck and shoulders, there was no follow-up at all. My phone screen was also damaged in the fall, and no responsibility was taken or solution offered. The supposed highlight of the tour was a waterfall, but even that failed. The driver could not find the correct locatio
