Itinerary

Thung Khe Pass
Admission included15 min

On the way, during your journey, you'll be treated to a scenic drive featuring Thung Khe mountain pass, a true gem among Vietnam's breathtaking mountain passes. Plus, you'll have the chance to explore the vibrant local market of the Muong ethnic minority nestled right on the pass itself.

Mai Chau
240 min

Visitors to Mai Chau have a fun choice to make: they can either strut their stuff on a stroll or pedal their way through the picturesque rice fields and villages with a chirpy English-speaking tour guide, or they can zip around in an electric car (for a little extra cha-ching) to explore the Thai Ethnic Minority's hood. As they meander along, they'll soak up all the scoop on the locals' daily shindigs, soak in the jaw-dropping views, and snap up those Insta-worthy moments!

The Worst Excursion and the Worst Customer Service from Tripadvisor!!!!!

This trip was an absolute disaster. Every single cent spent on it was a waste of money. The car was in terrible condition, the organization was virtually nonexistent, and the bicycles were nothing but junk. The transfers to and from the destination were absolutely awful. Sightseeing tours that had been promised and advertised were simply not provided. The worst part, however, was the customer service—or rather the lack of it—from Tripadvisor. Apart from automated replies, there was no response whatsoever. It was the worst customer service I have ever experienced.

Operator response

Hello, It seems this review may have been posted for the wrong company. We do not have any record of a customer with your name “ Steffen “, and we have not operated any one-day Mai Chau tours recently. We kindly ask you to check whether this review was intended for another travel agency. If so, we would greatly appreciate it if you could remove or update the review. Thank you very much for your understanding and support.

We had a really enjoyable tour. Communication beforehand was a little bit confusing as we ended up speaking with three different people over WhatsApp, but it turned out to all be ok and they all worked together. Pick up and drop off from Hanoi was smooth and right at the door of our Hanoi old quarter hotel. We were picked up on time at 7:30am and got back to our hotel about 7pm. Bus was comfortable, although no wifi, water not offered round, and not all seats had working chargers. Tour included a few stops on the drive for photos and a two hour cycle ride including a weaving experience and stop for view and cafe (no pressure to get anything). There was no pressure to tip or review at any point which is always good for having a comfortable trip as a tourist. Lunch was included and was a very varied buffet. My peanut allergy was accommodated well. The bikes were a little bit worn but staff did help us select the best bike and pumped up flat tyres for us. No helmets on the cycle and some busy/bumpy roads so make sure you are a confident cyclist, but the pace was good and just a basic level of fitness needed. Staff and locals were all very pleasant throughout if a little quiet at times. Price was exceptionally cheap and excellent value to see more of the countryside and have a quiet tour away from all the crowds. This trip was able to go ahead on 24th July 2025 when our Ha Giang loop was cancelled over the same period due to the typhoon weather. Tour company kept us updated over WhatsApp well regarding if tour was happening due to the weather. I would definitely recommend this tour for those on a budget who would like to see the countryside and go somewhere more relaxing and less touristy. Although there are fewer reviews for this day trip, the company has lots of reviews and we had a really enjoyable day so I would encourage you to go for this tour, especially given the price! Do not worry it is a genuine good deal! Kirstie from England
