Travellers who try this loop by public transport spend more time arranging rides than travelling. With one driver the whole loop just flows. Prices for this loop are on request, they depend on your exact route, see <a href=\"\/de\/transfer-von-hanoi-nach-ba-be-cao-bang\/\">the route page<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2>Want more?<\/h2>\n<p>Add <a href=\"\/de\/y-ty-terraces-above-the-clouds\/\">Y Ty<\/a> in the far northwest for the cloud sea, or connect this loop to <a href=\"\/de\/hanoi-to-ha-giang-transfer\/\">Ha Giang<\/a>.
