I had the incredible opportunity to travel with Vietnam Easy Rider back in 2013, and to this day, it remains one of the best travel experiences of my life! I took two trips through the stunning Central Highlands, guided by Loi and his amazing team, and every moment was filled with adventure, laughter, and unforgettable memories.
From riding through breathtaking landscapes, visiting waterfalls and forests, to drinking rice wine with local tribes in their homes, every experience was authentic and unique. The guides introduced us to local culture in a way no regular tour could—they took us to villages, schools, and coffee plantations, shared stories, taught us traditional games in the evenings, and made us feel like part of the family.
The passion and knowledge of the guides, along with their warm and fun personalities, made this journey truly special. Even after all these years, we have remained friends, which speaks volumes about their kindness and authenticity. If you’re looking for an adventurous, off-the-beaten-path experience in Vietnam with trustworthy and outstanding guides, Vietnam Easy Rider is the way to go!
Can’t wait to return for another ride!
