EXCELLENT Based on 153 reviews Posted on Heather KalishTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We Ride Vietnam is an amazing company to tour with if you have an inability to stay in one place when visiting a new and beautiful country. Our tour guide, Tan, was knowledgeable and answered every question we had about Vietnam, so we not only saw a great majority of the NorthEast, but we also learned about the culture and lifestyle of the people. No need to bring fancy equipment if new to riding or scared of overpacking, WRV provided pants and jacket with hard pads, gloves with knuckle armor, and DOT certified helmet. Even though WVR is known for their adventure tours, my dad and I were new riders, and got to experience a beginner journey through the mountains and across rivers, past rice paddies and through remote villages, all without missing out on the adventure. Our tour guide, Tan, was an experienced motorcycle trainer and did not hesitate to give us advice and stopping when needed, being so patient with us and helping us the whole way. The home stays with families and home cooked meals was a unique experience, and my dad’s allergy was relayed to the cooks who made special care to make something we both could eat. We had a square 3 meals a day, and stopped for fresh smoothies, juices and Vietnamese coffee at least twice a day during our journey, making sure we were hydrated and rested and rode in comfort. Our coordinator, Hai, took care of accommodations we needed arranged, and his special relationships with businesses around the country set us up with reliable and trusted transportation and lodging. Could not recommend these guys more, was incredibly impressed and never concerned for my safety, health, or needs. Had a great trip, and became a better rider through We Ride Vietnam.Posted on Cyrus Chiu (Colossal Image)Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Seven days, 1,500km, and not a single missed turn. Hai and the We Ride Vietnam team delivered a masterclass in adventure from Hanoi to Hoi An, blending raw gravel trails with an immaculate itinerary. The bikes were rugged and well-equipped, backed by a "sweeper" mechanic who could swap a flat in 15 minutes flat. From every perfectly timed local meal to Hai’s attentive help with hotel bookings beyond the tour dates, the precision was total. If you want the real Vietnam on two wheels with a guide who operates like a tactical genius, this is the only way to ride!Posted on Eric ChungTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The We Ride Vietnam motorcycle journey is a 6 stars Father and Son experience, taking advantage of the natural and privileged scenic routes with all kinds of terrains and road conditions of Vietnam. Our tour group of 4 experienced all climate elements in full 7 days ride, the most adrenaline pump being the time we dashed through the reserved park in thick foggy condition. The hardware Honda 250cc single cylinder bike is more than capable to carry a 200 lbs Dad. Gears like helmet, gloves , jacket and pants provide enough protection for slip and fall. Meals are good and all original Vietnamese cuisine. Perhaps next time, we can try the more exotic options. We didn’t know such options exist prior to this journey. There are numerous coffee breaks and ample gas fill stops during the journey. Hai the organizer and leader was fun, amicable, knowledgeable and able to assess our capabilities and skills and to adjust accordingly. Hai is always on time and brought us all to all destinations according to plans. Hai and Mechanics Hué are dynamic duals. Hué is a quiet , no nonsense defense for us all. His problems solving skills is top notched. He changed a flat tire for my son’s bike in less than 15 minutes. Thanks Hai and Hué for giving us this very memorable tour and we look forward to another one when opportunity comes.Posted on Elio RussoTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Just finished a weeklong motorcycle trip with WeRideVietnam from Hanoi to Hoi An — easily one of the best travel experiences I’ve had. Huge credit to our guide Hai, who really made the trip. He was super organized but also relaxed, knew the routes inside out, and always seemed to think of the small details that made a big difference. You never had to worry about anything. Also a big shoutout to Huy (apologies if I am spelling the name wrong), our mechanic, who was excellent. Having him along meant we could just enjoy the ride without stressing about the bikes at all. The bikes themselves were a joy to ride — well maintained, comfortable, and perfect for the kind of roads and scenery you go through on this route. Food and accommodation were consistently great — no cutting corners here. Every stop felt well chosen, with really good local food and comfortable places to stay after long days riding. The route itself is just incredible, especially getting out into the countryside and mountains between Hanoi and Hoi An. If you’re thinking about doing a motorcycle tour in Vietnam, I’d definitely recommend these guys.Posted on Kim WongTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Passing limestone mountains, remote villages, and some of the most dramatic scenery . Rice terraces stretch across the hillsides. The road itself is a dream for riders: tight curves, steep climbs, and constant elevation changes. No one does it better than We Ride Vietnam. My 4th trip with them. Wonderful homestay experiences. Good food. Knowledgeable staff. No 2 rides are the same. Always fun. Can't wait to come back for more.Posted on Bernard LohTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My 3rd time with WRV and they never disappoint, always surprising us with new routes and exciting experience. Absolutely awesome guides and mechanics. How often you get kick by an angry cow? I’m so honoured actually 🤣🤣🤣 Thank you WRV and will be back riding with them again soon!Posted on Andy TeoTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This is our third trip in four years and every single time, we have not been disappointed. It has been loads and loads of breathtaking scenery, and the guides are so knowledgeable and yet flexible enough to change the routes on the fly to suit different riders. The warmth of the homestay families are so incredible - such genuine hospitality from people who are just so down to earth. The food was simply amazing at every stop and especially at the homestays, and coupled with endless shots of liquor and laughter, memories are made of these!Posted on Wild Med AdventuresTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This was our second trip with We Ride Vietnam and both trips were outstanding. We rode through Northeast Vietnam last time and this trip we went through Laos on the famous Ho Chi Minh trail. Amazing experience and excellent leadership. Thank you for another amazing trip!Posted on Andrew GrieveTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Hai, Dragon, Duy and the team are consummate professionals. The quality of the service is high- bikes are are in good working order and if they break- Dragon will fix. The Laos section was challenging as a lot of off road and the hotels are not great quality- however the Laotian people are amongst the friendliest I have encountered. A highly recommended tour operator and good attention to detail.
