Great guide, well worth the adventure if you can handle sitting on a bike for long periods. 
 Visited some off the beaten track locations ( I opted for the scenic route going through back roads) and the guide was friendly and knowledgeable.
 If you're wearing shorts don't skip the sunscreen.

Had the most amazing and jam packed day with Vuong and Phoung! They were both incredibly attentive and friendly and made sure we had the best time. The trip has lots of stops along the way, including some classics and others off the beaten path. I couldn’t recommend more highly!!

My Son Sanctuary Sunrise + Motorcycle Adventure

Being at My Son shortly after opening was a fantastic way to see the site, since the tourist buses were all arriving just as we were leaving. And the ride to and from the site was a fun way to see some of the backroads and Vietnamese life outside of the cities.

Incredible experience! Had so much fun with Mr. Long! Excellent and skilled motorcyclist driver and made me feel safe the entire time. Even though the ride to My Son was pretty long (about an hour) I was completely comfortable on the bike. English was excellent. Gave great stories about Vietnam history and also more recent Hoi An devastating floods. Recommended a restaurant that actually went to twice. That is not something I normally do.

Was a really chill and easy tour, started off the morning with a brief local look at the wet market and then a fun off road ride to Myson Sanctuary where it’s free and easy. Recommended hiring a separate guide for the sanctuary to tell u more about the history of the place as it’s not part of the tour. But overall really beautiful scenery riding there and great guide who is superbly experienced to being you off trails

Vuong’s motorbike tour to My Son temples is a highlight of our stay in Hoi An. I did it 10 years ago and was pleasantly surprised to find he’s still doing it. It was so much fun to get to connect with him again. I highly recommend this experience while your visiting Hoi An.

My guide Vuong was really friendly and fairly fluently in English, answering most of my queries about life in Central Vietnam and the sights through the tour.
 As a skilled rider on the motorcycle, Vuong drove us through bumpy, muddy trails, and even narrow paths rather safely.
 I would recommend this experience to anyone interested.

10/10 - holy cow! That tour was exactly what I was hoping for and more. Getting up early is clutch when it's so hot under the sun. We started at the fish market which was BUSTLING at 5am and took back roads all the way to My Son. As it's my first time to Vietnam, this is a great way to appreciate the farming areas while also inserting some fun. Vu was an excellent driver, storyteller, and guide. I feel very grateful to have had this opportunity that I surely won't forget. I went solo and rode on the back of Vu's bike. It felt like a full day even though I was back at my hotel by 10am. Getting to My Son early also gave me a lot of solo time to appreciate the deep layered history and wonder of the place.

Although we did not get to see My Son because it was closed last minute due to the covid19 virus we were still brought to another ruin that was impressive in its own right. Great time riding the bikes off the beaten path over bamboo bridges and through rice patties. Highly recommend if you like to get away from tourist traps and see the country side. Also provided a delicious lunch at a restaurant along the way.

The Vietnam experience you must have done. Just check the photos! Why at Vuong? 1) Fantastic routes that you would never find yourself (bamboo bridge with the motor on a boat). 2) An adventure for everyone (including the non-motorcyclist)! 3) Vuong's enthusiasm is perhaps the most important, besides being friendly he is punctual in his appointments.

My wife and I loved our trip with our guide Ai. I drove an automatic motorbike and she road on the back of his bike. The hai van pass was so fun to drive, but the backroads through rice patties, farming and fishing villages, and small towns were equally as beautiful. After the pass we stopped for a fantastic seafood lunch, with oysters and shrimp, and more, that came from the lagoon that we overlooked while we ate. Can’t get more fresh and local than that!
 If you go all the way into the city of Hue you will have to drive through some hectic city traffic. Not as crazy as Saigon or hanoi, but still nutty. If you don’t have any experience on a motorbike and are nervous then you might want to ride instead of drive. I don’t have a lot of riding experience, but after 190 km I was feeling great and navigated the traffic just fine. Just go with the flow!
 Highly recommend this experience! Easy pick up and drop off, and I even rented the bike for the next day. Thanks again!!!

We enjoyed a 200km return day trip from Hoi An to rural De Nang with Vong - King's brother and absolutely LOVED IT! What an experience! We would have never seen the amount of things we did (going through small villages and back roads) if it wasn't for our friendly guide Vong. I won't spoil the details. I highly recommend this tour to anyone who is looking for an adventure in Hoi An.

Vhung and Shon (probably got that wrong) picked us from the hotel. V's English was good.

The ride itself was super fun, we rode in the back. You go through mad trails and its get bumpy at times but exciting. Hes a very good rider and years of exp.

We stopped like 4-5 times really took in the culture. He explained everything. Great trip for the afternoon and back.

If you are in town and can spare a few hours definitely do this trip, it's a very small investment for what you get back in memories.

Thanks to V for great experience.

My partner and I booked a half day motorbike tour, which saw us riding rural areas close to Hoi An. Our tour guide was fantastic and had great English, he was able to explain areas we were seeing and also answer any questions we had. Further from this, the tour included several stops where we were able to see and participate in local trade activities, including mat weaving and rice paper making. Overall, great trip, great value and would highly recommend for those with motorbike experience (like myself) and those who have no motorbike experience (like my partner - who rode with the tour guide).

An excellent experience with good organization. If you are a motocross enthusiast, you will not be disappointed. The guide adapts to your level, whether you are looking for a technical circuit or a leisurely stroll. We passed through fields, through woods, in the sand, on bridges and we even crossed a river on a boat. The guide is English speaking. He made us discover the deep countryside of Vietnam in a maze of small paths and across fields. He even filmed us when we were crossing bridges. In the top ! In addition the boss speaks French Italian English.
