Thinh and Dung were our epic riders who picked us up in Phong Nha. We didn’t realise The scenery is stunning going through mountains, valleys, across rivers, through villages. we stopped often to stretch our legs and get coffees and food. they speak very good english and have great sense of humour. The memories will be everlasting
This was the best thing we did in Vietnam – I couldn’t recommend it enough! My friends and I booked this with no prior experience of riding bikes, Our drivers were extremely professional and could not have done more to make us feel comfortable. Across three days we saw some of the most beautiful sights away from the busier, touristy routes: we stopped at waterfalls for swimming, local villages and restaurants (which we wouldn’t have visited on our own but had the most delicious food), and we had a day packed with history visiting the DMZ, Vin Moc war tunnels and Khe San museum. At each place he had organised a private tour guide to take us around, and he even called ahead to ensure we’d be allowed in late.All in all, it is the best value for money and the real way to experience Vietnam. You would be crazy not to book it!
We booked a 3 day motorbike tour from Phong Nha to Hoi An, based on online recommendations, we had no expectations but it was the highlight of our time in Vietnam. I rode my own bike and my partner rode with our guide, who rode safely but was able to cover good distance and challenging enough routes to keep myself entertained.
He had put together the route, which was incredible. He made sure we had regular stops in between riding. Each day we visited amazing places which you would never see unless on a motorbike tour with a local guide; cultural places, beautiful swimming spots, great cafes and street food spots, beaches and museums.
Thinh was an exceptional guide and a great person to spend 3 days with. So knowledgeable, friendly and interesting. He spoke really good English, which meant we are able to spend the days and evening chatting and learning about Vietnamese culture and his own life
Can’t recommend enough doing a motorbike trip with Thinh, we only wished we had time for a longer tour. We’re already looking forward to the next one when we return.
A highlight of my three weeks in Vietnam and a memory I will cherish. The three days who drove us from Phong Nha to Hue took excellent care of us and made sure we were as comfortable and dry as possible on a couple rainy days. The drivers were also very concerned with our safety. Great experience and one I highly recommend!
This is the best way to see real Vietnam. We did 2 days from Phong Nha to Hue . Got to see so much off the tourist path scenery, and daily life of rural Vietnamese. Harry was a fantastic guide, knows all the secret roads, was friendly and speaks good English
