“Motorbiking in Vietnam? Isn’t it a very 2000s kind of thing?”
my friend said when I mentioned that motorbiking in Vietnam is super fun! I replied, “Yep, but it’s still a thing and the experience is amazing!”
And that’s the truth! Almost every traveler in Vietnam knows someone who has motorbiked the country from the north to the south or vice versa. Indeed, it’s now too mainstream, but the experience is still worth the experience. Check this article, where we talk about everything you need to know about motorbiking in Vietnam or the best hostels in Vietnam.
If you only have a few days to go backpacking in Vietnam or wouldn’t want to commit to a
long time of being on a motorbike for weeks, here are Vietnam motorbike tours that you can choose from depending on your destination, budget and tour preference. Ensure you have obtained a Vietnam visa before arriving; check how to apply here.
We categorize the tours into two sections: Food and Drinks and City, Historical, and Cultural Tours.
