What an amazing experience! Hands down one of the best things I’ve ever done, this company is very professional with excellent condition motorbikes. Did the 16 day Northern Vietnam tour. We climbed through mountain ranges and road through traditional parts of Vietnam. An absolute unforgettable tour. The tour guide made it perfect, he spoke very good English and was very knowledgeable as well as extremely helpful. If you’re planning a trip 100% use this company. The greatest way to see Vietnam

Vietnam just kept me in awe for the whole trip, spectacular Sapa with ethnic people and the view is just amazing. Halong was the reason for me to Vietnam in the first place. The weather wasn’t great when I were there and it was such a dream looking out the window to the the magnificent limestone mountains

My husband and I went on the 16-day Northern Vietnam tour, and we had such an amazing time. Neither of us have spent much time on bikes before, but our guides were very understanding and helped us get comfortable on the bikes before going. They were awesome people and we had so much fun hanging out with them for 16 days! Most importantly, I truly feel like our safety and comfort was their top priority at all times, and they went above and beyond to guarantee that!l. The views in the north are absolutely breathtaking, plus the little cafes you stop for lunch at along the way offered great authentic food. We’d highly recommend this tour to anyone looking to see Vietnam in this unique way.
