Trip went off without a hitch, Hai and his team were very organized, excellent support with a mechanic and support vehicle to take our luggage and any souvenirs we bought from local markets. We enjoyed great Vietnamese cuisine, very good standards of accommodation, excellent riding of all types.
Scenery was amazing. Bikes were off good mechanical condition. I would definitely recommend WeRideVietnam

This trip was spectacular, from the excursions, the food, the places we stayed to our wonderful guides of Tan and Long. We had a wonderful time going on and off road. There was some challenging spots, but we lived to celebrate the awesome time. Everything we did was away from tourist, but immersed into the culture. Highly recommend Hai and the crew for your next adventure.

Fantastic 12 day motorcycle tour of NW Vietnam off road thru the mountains and then down the history trail following the Ho Chi Min trail. Hai our leader and Long our mechanic were just the best. I cannot think of a better way to see Vietnam and with Hai’s 20 years of experience and knowledge you will see things not only tourists but most Vietnamese gone get to see.  This is my third adventure with WeRideVietnam and I will be back!

We have just done a tour with Hai and his crew for an 8 day trip around north Vietnam. The whole trip was very well run and the crew went above and beyond to look after 8 kiwi blokes. We had a great adventure that was made better by Hai tailoring the rides to our ability to actually ride them. Highly recommend We ride Vietnam.

Hai and his company are my go to guides in Vietnam. They are simply the best. He has taken me and many friends on some awesome adventures and this time he pulled off an unforgettable family sidecar trip for us. It was a great chance to show the kids a real and different side to Vietnam. It’s something I couldn’t do – and wouldn’t want to do – without his support. He makes everything easy and fun. It’s like travelling with a good friend who knows just what to do and where to go. He has a loyal following of people who have tripped with me before – and I know I’ll be back again.

Hai planned the trip perfectly, with interesting visits each day and challenging riding through a variety of scenery and terrain.

Hai and his team make a great combination, they really know the back and off road routes, as well as good sweeping roads when needed. Excellent homestays to enjoy the local culture and food. We did 5 days, around 950kms Hanoi to Lao Cai. If you enjoy bikes (250. Hondas) and get a few friends together, highly recommend these guys to tour with.

Once in a lifetime experience. Enjoyed from start to end as a very professionally operated 10-day tour package. Get trail rides for all levels of experience with a great variety of road and off-road trails. Mechanic riding with tour is an advantage as kept bikes going with no downtime. Support vehicle carted gear around each day, which is great. Very experienced operator and will be back.

We were a group of 11 from all parts of the world. USA, NZ, Australia, UK and Hong Kong. First time for most in North Vietnam. Our guide Hai has to be the most experienced guide in the business and worked with us to design a very special and unique 5 Day off and on road experience.
