North Vietnam Motorbike Tour - Best decision I made in a very long time

If you're considering a motorbike tour through Vietnam (which is the best and most common medium in Vietnam for a reason) I completely recommend 'Easy Riders Vietnam'. For me it was the perfect combination between touristy sights and (imo) authentic Vietnamese food and cultural experience. Riding on the back seat and enjoying the most breathtaking views was just amazing. Every tour is (roughly) fitted to mirror what you want to do and which sights you want to visit at each stop. What you want is absolutely taken into consideration and will be done when possible. Without being overbearing Chinh (my tour guide in a group of three people counting the tour guide) always checked on me/us to make sure everything was ok. I truly felt like a queen the whole tour.

Unforgettable 12 day/custom/solo tour of the north

Exactly what I wanted from this trip. Nguyen Chinh is the guy you want. He knows the best places to stay (if you have a choice, homestays > hotels), is a very good rider who keeps his machines tip top every night, is friends with seemingly everyone (helps with the language barrier which is a massive plus) and is a great companion. I booked a 12 day solo tour (I rode a bike and he another) from my chosen pick up (phong na) around the north to end up in Hanoi. Some of the most beautiful windy roads with even more beautiful views and people. Book the tour, whichever one. Do it.
