Review Body: 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.

Review Body: 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.

Review Body: 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

Review Body: 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.

Review Body: 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.

Review Body: 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.

Review Body: We cannot rate our experience with King Nguyen Travel highly enough. My boyfriend (an experienced off-road rider) and I (a beginner) shared a comfortable XR 400, and covered more than 500km with King over three days. We had asked for something off the usual tourist trail and King certainly delivered! After getting an idea of our riding ability, King tailored our trip. Over three days we rode though rice paddies and farmlands, across bamboo bridges and through minority villages; we wound up and over mountains, tracked off-road through jungles, swam at a waterfall, experienced river crossings, cruised highways and sped along beaches. We managed a little city riding in Hue and Da Nang, and took in the gorgeous views from Hai Van Pass, and the Ho Chi Minh trail. King alway seemed to know the perfect time to stop for a snack or meal, and kept us well-supplied with water. He happily shared his knowledge of the different places we stopped (including his own favourite off-road trails), and helped us understand some of the cultural and political contexts of the things we were seeing. All the food, drink and accomodation was included in the very competitive price, and took into account my dietary requirements. The hotel they booked for us to stay in in Hue, was the best of our entire trip, and included an indoor pool, bar and generous buffet. The hotel was in a great location. King kept his sense of humour when we bent the handle bars of his bike in upon themselves (our fault - not his), and even let us keep the bike for an extra day at no cost. You will be sore and happy if you choose King Nguyen Travel to help guide your next adventure. We won't hesitate to book again. Thanks again King! Jerri and Luke.

Review Body: After looking at a few different tour companies that offered the popular Hoi An to Hue route and seeking advice from our hotel in Hoi An we chose King Nguyen Travel based on their itenery/route which avoids the highways and ventures off the beaten track into rural Vietnam. We could not have been happier with our decision. King collected us from our hotel and sent our bags on a bus to Hue to be waiting for us at our hotel when we arrived some 9 hours later. The 9 hours spent riding through scenic paddy fields, small villages and ocean roads was incredible - pictures simply do not do it justice. The route is very well thought out with planned stops along the way for coffee and lunch amongst a number of other attractions/photo opportunities. Clearly a lot of time has been invested to develop the day's itinerary. Both King and the other driver that accompanied us, Hung (I believe), rode exceptionally well, not once doubting their safety on the roads. I won't go into detail about the itinerary/route as I believe it is best to experience without any preconceptions. I cannot recommend King Nguyen Travel highly enough! Riding from Hoi An to Hue with King and Hung has been the highlight of our two weeks in Vietnam and we were sad to leave them at the end of the trip. I encourage anyone considering travelling Vietnam to do it with King Nguyen Travel - you won't regret it! Sit back and take in the views - they will stay with you a lifetime!

Review Body: 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!!!

Review Body: We highly recommend the tour from Hoi An to Huè organised by King: if you are looking for a very good outdoor experiences, this is something you have to try. Our guide, mr. Tam, was an expert easy rider, very nice: he brought us on secondary roads, with no traffic and wonderful views. We rode along the rice fields, crossed bambù bridges and even took a small ferry to cross a river with the motorbikes, together with the locals. On our way, we stopped at many different interesting places, in farms, cultivations and also in a village where ethnic minorities live. We swam in beautiful waterfalls (especially the one in the jungle, near the Laos border) and rode the Ho Chi Minh trail up to the mountains, inside beautiful and powerful vegetation. King also allowed us to keep the motorbike one extra day for free, to come back from Hue to Danang airport. Thank you King and Tam, this journey has made the time of our life in Vietnam!

Review Body: We had a great time with our guide Ai, who took on a half-day motorbike private tour to the countryside around Hoi An. Ai was very sweet and took us through narrow alleyways and uncharted routes through the rice fields. We visited a rice noodle maker (and had an opportunity to make rice noodles ourselves) and a sleeping mat maker. The tour included lunch at a great local restaurant in Hoi An. Throughout the tour, Ai took videos and pics of us. At the end of our tour Ai let us keep the motorbikes for the rest of the day so we could go to the beach. He also suggested a more interesting scenic route than the main road. At the end of the day, when we returned the bikes, Ai also invited us for beer. Great guy. Great trip. Hoi An is extremely touristic and getting out to the countryside was a great experience. Highly recommended.

Review Body: If you love to ride a bike or want to try riding as a passenger, or a bit of both, you can create your own ride tour with King Nguyen Travel Tours. How cool is that! Vuong and Son picked us up from our hotel and took us through some steps to show us how to prepare and communicate during the day. Vuong's English is really good which helps make the tour so much more enjoyable ... And then we were off!! Riding through beautiful and interesting places around the countryside of Hoi An. Such a wonderful way to see the local village life. We'd never have found our way there without Vuong, he's been riding for ages and his skill at touring people on bikes shines through. His knowledge of where to tour made it just so much fun. I've not had such a fun time since I was riding trails as a teenager!

Review Body: Wow! This was an amazing experience. Even though I'm in my early 60s, I had never been on a motorbike previously but felt totally comfortable & safe the entire day riding behind Lihn Tran. What an exceptional young lady....her English was fantastic & matched by her ability to provide great general knowledge of the area & answer all my many questions. This is the best trip my husband & I have done in Vietnam so far & we would urge anyone considering this trip to JUST DO IT! My husband was also delighted with the service provided by his guide Hu. From the moment we were picked up at our accommodation at 8am until we were dropped back around 6pm we were given exceptional service...Our sincere thanks for a very memorable day.

Review Body: Booked a solo ride on 1 days notice and was immediately welcomed. Picked up at my hotel on time and after a quick assessment of the type of experience that I had on a bike, Vuong asked what I wanted from the day and then started an adventure that went from my hotel into the countryside from paved highways to side roads then alleyways, dirt roads, through rice paddies, over bamboo bridges, small ferries, rocky trails, river crossings through water and some of the most spectacular scenery I have seen. We watched farmers harvest rice, chillies, corn etc and Vuong explained the way things were done. Overall an outstanding day of adventure riding. This company looks after its riders. Thanks for a great day Vuong!!!

Review Body: I have never sat on the back of a motorcycle, so 300 km in 2 days on remote roads in Vietnam had given some thought before starting. Pretty quickly I felt completely safe on the back of the motorcycle and could enjoy the great ride, which was interrupted at appropriate intervals by visits to locals, sights and other things. Each time there was a good and professional guidance of Long in very easy to understand English. Ling and Hung are both extremely comfortable and this is important as you get quite close to each other over the days. I would recommend taking them on tour. We had some of the best experiences on this trip. And they make Vietnamese traffic as safe as it can get now. :-)

Review Body: Vuong has such great experience and knowledge, I was a nervous solo traveller and Vuong catered the ride to suit me. He took me through many terrains, at one moment I was on a busy highway and we would turn onto an unsealed track through forest, stopping unplanned in villages to connect with people there. I loved eating at places I would not normally stop at, especially the seafood place near Da Nang, the best chilli prawns. Thank you for guiding me the entire way, especially through traffic in Hue. Sorry we lost pool with the German travellers :) This trip meant so much more to me than Vuong would know and I am so Grateful!

Review Body: My friend and I travelled around Vietnam. We didn’t know what to expect when we booked the full day loop tour but we were pleasantly surprised! This was by far the best experience ever. Tony and Vu made the ride extra special by making us feel very safe on the back of their motorbikes and taking the time to stop and show us historic places of interest. We learnt so much about Vietnam’s history and culture as we enjoyed the most spectacular views. We even stopped for coffee and then lunch at a local Vietnamese restaurant. I cannot recommend this tour enough. We cannot wait to go back and ride with Tony and Vu!! N and K

Review Body: Just been on their countryside experience tour which within minutes takes you into the farms, paddy fields and back lanes of the Hoi An area. Great for seeing real life, to anyone who has a bike I have never waved/said hello to so many people in such a short space of time, everyone really friendly. We travelled across so many floating, bamboo, rickety bridges it has been a great trip, my wife travelled pillion on the back of our hosts bike and I had my own Honda dirt bike. Bikes all good. Came back to Hoi An via ferry for some local food for lunch, altogether a very enjoyable adventure. Kevin S, UK

Itinerary Day 1

Itinerary Summary: Today you will enjoy the sunrise views while exploring the Hindu temple remains at My Son Sanctuary!

Itinerary Description: Ride to the countryside and stop at the fish market which is one of the main market centers in Hoi An. The boats park and exchange their goods after a long day out on the ocean. Later, follow the small roads onto My Son valley, built between the 4th and the 13th century. So far the technique used in building the ancient temple-towers of Champa remains controversial. It is believed that the bricks were smoothened, laid closely and securely without mortar. Next, continue on to the local ferry and load the bike on the boat to cross the Thu Bon River. Enjoy Vietnamese coffee in a local restaurant.
