Is there still availability for 1 Double Room and 1 Single Room?

Could we go for the bigger bikes (250 cc), what does this mean for costs?

Would it be an international driver's license enough? Can you please advise which one is required for the motorbikes in Vietnam?

Just international driver's permit is good enough to ride motorbikes in Vietnam legally

What kind of license do I need to drive the motorbikes?

To ride motorbikes legally, you need either appropriate Vietnamese licenses or International Driver's Permits (IDPs). It's nearly impossible for regular tourists to obtain the Vietnamese licenses due to its complicated legal procedures but you can get IDPs much easier and we can help this if you want. And in case, you have no both, you can still ride bikes in Vietnam because our traffic police rarely stop foreigners to check licenses & paperworks yet. And even if they stop, our guide knows how to deal with it

Would you need to be a regular mother bike driver. I have a licence to drive motor bike but have not driven one. Would I need some lessons. What is the best time to do this trip.

If you have less experiences in riding motorcycles, normally you will be required to have some practices / lessons with our guide to master all necessary riding skills until you can ride perfectly.

Truly amazing Vietnam Top-Gear Motorcycle Tour from Hanoi to Saigon on Ho Chi Minh trail via Central Highland We're a group of 8 AUSSIE guys booking this tour via DNQ TRAVEL and obviously that is our lifetime journey. We're not only riding bikes to experience the beauties of Vietnam on every single alleys but also touching lots of great local things that we would not ever have chances to do if we travel in normal ways. Our guide is Vinh - young passionate guy speaking very good English and he understands all our needs and seems to know well his country in every single corners. He taught us lots of Vietnamese words, brought us close to local cultures / traditions and took on backroads to see rice-fields, villages and meet the locals. We all loved Vietnamese cuisines in every places where we passed by & we also remembered our relaxing moments on the beaches in Central of Vietnam with some cold beers and friendly smiles of kids & the old who we met en route. If time permits, we'll come back to see VN on another epic journeyShow more
