Hai and his team guided us on a 12 day, 3000 km motorbike tour from Hanoi towards Ho Chi Minh. Hai planned the trip perfectly, with interesting visits each day and challenging riding through a variety of scenery and terrain. He taught us a lot about Vietnam.Each day went very smoothly with excellent food and scenic coffee breaks for an unforgettable experience.
Hai is an excellent tour guide. Our tour with 7 riders was incredible and he catered to our groups different levels of experience with both on and off road options. This is the best way to see the real Vietnam and we will definitely come back. Don’t think twice before booking with We Ride Vietnam
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.
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.
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.
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
Excellent family motorbike trip from Hanoi to Hoi An. , We had a motorbike with sidecar for kids and a Moped. Hai and Cong ensured our family had an amazing time with great riding, unbelievable local food and fun company, The days were full with lots of rest stops. Hai is the guide you want and Cong amazed us with his mechanic skills! Best family trip so far.
Absolutely a must if you like riding a mix of terrain, great sights, amazing hosts, food , places to stay and knows all the best routes to go. Then Hai and his crew are for you.
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.
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!
5 day tour north west of Hà Nội. Great bikes. Great routes over every kind of surface and tailored to our desires for distance and difficulty. All the gear and all the ideas. Vast knowledge of the trails and places to stay. Friendly and fun guides, mechanic and support vehicle. Immensely enjoyable
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.
