What kind of documents needed for this tour? Do I need to have international driving licence?

We don't need any document to sign up the tour yet. If you have an International Driver's Permit is good but if not, it's still ok to go as there is a fact that 99% foreigners in Vietnam are riding motorcycles in VN without appropriate licenses as long as you must ride perfectly.
