As in any other country there are dangers associated with riding a motorcycle in Vietnam. The cities may make being on a bike frightening and daunting, but it doesn’t take much time to understand the rhythm and flow of Vietnamese traffic.For the most part, riding in the countryside is quite safe. Slow moving tractors, overtaking buses and trucks, water buffalo, dogs and children wandering on to the road at their leisure in rural areas is your greatest risk. At best you will find the average cruising speed at around 60kms when in the countryside. Rest assured that your safety is our main priority at Myrides.vn. Before every tour our specialists will give you the lowdown on how to stay safe on the road.

Children are allowed to participate in the food city excursions, but are not recommended to accompany the off the beaten path tours.

Of course! We have many package options, but we are more than willing to cater to your specific needs.

Yes, at Myrides.vn you have the self driven option or the pillion passenger option. We do recommend that if you have less than a years experience driving or have never used a manual transmission bike that you should choose the pillion passenger option. NOTE: A pillion passenger means a driver will be provided for you.

Time on the bike tends to range from 5-6hrs with plenty of stops to see local sites, lunch and coffee breaks at roadside cafes. Expect your daily riding to be about150 to 200 km a day, depending on the terrain.

There are three styles of accommodations depending on the tour you book. Home stays, mid-range hotels and for longer tours you will get treated to a classy hotel experience on the last night of your journey.

Vegetarian and vegan needs can be met. For situations such as food allergies of Halal foods, it’s much more difficult to accommodate, but not impossible. We will do our very best.

We use Honda Master III’s for our long distance tours.
For our City Food Tour we use Honda Air-blades for men and Honda Leads for women.

We advise that for the purpose of riding a motorbike riders should wear clothes that give you the most coverage and protection possible. Long pants, long shirts, and proper foot wear are a must. They protect you from the sun, the cold and will reduce injuries in the event of an accident. Road rash is not pleasant, take it from me!Comfortable foot wear such as sandals or flip flops are handy for sections on the tour that we are either walking or taking a boat cruise.Sun protection, sun protection, sun protection! Sun screen, hats, long sleeved shirts. Even on a cool day on the road you can still get burned by the sun and the wind.

I suggest that you sample some Vietnamese food before you come to Vietnam. It is not easy to describe the flavors of the food as it varies from spicy, to savoury, to sweet. As well, food varies from region to region. Fish is a big staple for the average Vietnamese person. If you book with us, either bring your adventurous taste buds or a big jar of peanut butter!!!!!

The months of February to September are considered the dry season and can get quite hot. The other months considered the wet season and therefore a little cooler. Keep in mind weather varies from region to region, so consult http://www.weather.com/weather/monthly/VMXX0007 for further information.
